Excused absence

I got a call yesterday from the school's nurse. Austin had thrown up...with only 5 minutes left of school. I picked up Andrew and headed to pick up Austin. On our way out of the school, he threw up all over the floor. They called over the intercom for a custodian to come clean up the mess. We got home and Austin just kept getting sick.

Now that he's in real school, we have to deal with absences and excuses. I got a call from the attendence office saying that I needed to send an excuse tomorrow. That's going to take some getting used to.

He's much, much better today and is actually eating and keeping things down. We've cleaned house (an attempt to get rid of the germs and hope that the rest of us get sick), made a fort, had a lunch party, and worked a little on a school project. Hopefully, he'll be back in school tomorrow!
