Spring break was on the horizon and Dave and I had planned a getaway with kids to Tahoe for about 3 nights.  We were all very excited for some family time.  But a week before Jacob came down with a fever.  I followed and so did Thomas.   Both of my boys had an extended Spring break because of coughing and fevers.  So we hoped that by the next week it would all be gone and we could have a nice week in Tahoe.  Friday afternoon everyone was feeling a little better and the sun was shining so Matt and the girls went outside.  Matt headed off chasing/herding chickens and the girls were playing away on the swing set.  I looked out the window a few minutes later to see Matt with red stuff all over his head and him screaming.  At first I thought it was some sort of a net and ran out to discover it was blood.  Matt had angered our rooster by chasing chickens and the rooster had attacked.  We were blessed that Matt was smart enough to try to run away and all his wounds are on his head and back.
