- [Chris] Can you say ravioli?
- Ravioli.
- [Chris] Very good, ravioli.
Alright, can you say mushrooms?
- Mushroom.
- Whoa, that was a burpee one.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Good morning, everyone.
I am finally starting to feel better.
It was a rough night.
Bailey threw up
and that was unpleasant.
You're feeling a little bit better now though, right?
Yeah.
We're having kind of a lazy day.
We're all still in our pajamas and we're playing,
oh, Jessica's not
'cause she's a rock star.
She's feeling sick too.
I don't understand
how she has superpowers
but somehow, look at her.
- It's my birthday tomorrow
so I'm not going to be sick.
- Getting sick is not an option.
I'm gonna get freshened up
and I think I'll feel better once I get freshened up.
The kids are playing with LEGOs this morning.
Are you guys playing with the stuff
the Easter Bunny got you?
- [Bailey] Yeah.
- [Chris] Can you show us what the Easter Bunny got you?
- I got this set. - The set?
- [Bailey] It's like a little castle.
Here's the bed and this is the window
and this is where she gets dressed up.
- [Jacob] What is this?
- [Bailey] Oh, and this is a,
I don't know what this is.
- [Chris] The spindle thing?
- [Bailey] Yeah.
And this is the princess.
- [Chris] And Jacob, what did you get from the Easter Bunny?
- I got this set.
- [Chris] And then all these clone troopers?
- [Jacob] No, stormtroopers.
- [Chris] I think these are clone troopers.
- [Jacob] And here's the ship.
- [Chris] That's pretty cool.
- The Easter Bunny put it in the Easter eggs.
- I guess the Easter Bunny knows
that my kids don't eat candy.
So inside of all those plastic eggs
were parts of these sets.
So after they collected all their eggs,
they got instructions inside of their little basket,
and they got to build LEGO sets.
Pretty cool idea, Easter Bunny.
Good job.
- You're gonna send that movie to the Easter Bunny?
- Yeah, I'll send the Easter Bunny a link to this video,
so he knows that he did a good job.
I got sort of freshened up
and so now I feel a lot better.
Hangin' out with Parker outside.
It's kind of a breezy day.
I don't know if you can see our tree going crazy up there.
What do you think of the wind, Parker?
- Windy.
- It's a little windy.
Hopefully we get some rain.
It seems like cloudy.
It sort of has that feeling right before rain.
So hopefully we get some rain.
We need some rain.
Couple little updates for you.
Parker does not have chickenpox.
It was some sort of spider that got into his room
and it's been biting him.
It stopped biting him so that's good but no chickenpox.
I'm feeling better, Jess is feeling better.
Bailey's kinda on the fence.
Jacob's feeling better
but we do have doctor's appointments for Jacob and Bailey.
So we'll be doing that
and Auntie Panties might come over.
You know her as Colleen.
She might come over today,
she might not because we've been sick.
Sometimes when we're sick,
she doesn't come over so that she doesn't get sick
and has to cancel tours,
'cause that would be bad.
Look how grown up you look.
He looks so grown up in this shirt and these pants.
- No.
- [Chris] No, you don't think so?
Still look like a baby?
- [Parker] No.
- [Chris] No.
- [Parker] I'm a baby.
- [Chris] You're a baby?
- [Parker] No.
- [Chris] No.
- [Parker] No baby.
- He's not a baby.
Alright, it is raining outside which is wonderful.
We need it here in California.
We need the rain.
And I'm trying to cook dinner.
- Hey Daddy, it's not wonderful.
- [Chris] It's not?
Why is it not wonderful?
- I just don't like it.
- [Chris] Why don't you like it?
- Because it doesn't make things right.
- [Chris] What doesn't it make right?
- It may just have
less water.
- Always the pessimist.
This week in our vegetable box,
we got these lovely mushrooms.
Here's some of them and here's some of them.
And I've been trying to figure out what to do with them
and I think I'm gonna make my kids' favorite meal
which is raviolis.
So here it goes.
(cheerful music)
Are you hungry?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] You want food?
Wow!
Are you excited about food?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Yeah?
Are you gonna eat ravioli?
- No. - No, no ravioli?
- Oli.
- [Chris] Ravioli.
- Oli.
- [Chris] Can you say ravioli?
- Ravioli.
- [Chris] Very good, ravioli.
Alright, can you say mushrooms?
- Mushroom.
- [Chris] Whoa, that was a burpee one.
Can you say mushrooms?
- Mushrooms.
- [Chris] Mushrooms.
Can you say spinach?
- Pinach.
- [Chris] Good.
Can you say garlic?
- Garnic.
- [Chris] That's what's inside your ravioli.
And now it's time for a singy-song with Parker.
(Parker singing gibberish)
♫ It's time read
♫ Read the comments from the vlog
You guys asked me a bunch of questions
about the emergency room/hospital.
And now I'm gonna answer those questions.
Demi asks, "Have either you or Jessica
"been in the hospital for anything major?
"P.S. I'm from New Zealand and it is very beautiful here."
I bet it's beautiful there.
I've seen movies with New Zealand in them.
Mostly Lord of the Rings and it is beautiful.
I haven't been in the hospital for anything super major.
I broke my arm once
but Jessica broke her tibula and her fibia.
Fibia?
Fibula and tibia.
Those two bones in your leg.
She broke those going down some stairs
and she had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance
and had orthopedic surgery.
And now she has a titanium rod in her leg
which will always be there.
She is a bionic woman.
Savannah says, "What is your worst hospital experience?"
There have been times when I visited someone
that I knew they weren't gonna get better
and that always
is painful.
I think one of the scariest times I've had in the hospital
is when Jake overdosed on Benadryl.
We had to take him to the hospital
and it was past the point
where they could make him throw it up
or he was supposed to drink charcoal
and it was supposed to absorb it or something.
Those weren't options.
The only option they gave us was
we're gonna watch him really closely
and have this machine here
ready to restart his heart just in case.
And you guys just stay with him
and he didn't sleep the whole night.
He was hallucinating and it was so scary.
He was little, so little, and so innocent
and didn't mean to drink that much Benadryl.
He and Bailey were playing in the other room
for a split second.
Things happen in split seconds.
Anyway that was,
that was probably the scariest,
most traumatic experience in the hospital.
He ended up being fine.
Such a terrible night.
Patty says, "Do you like it
"when you go to the hospital?"
Only if we're having babies.
Any other time it's pretty terrible.
Kate says, "Opinions on hospital food.
"Is it really as bad as everyone says?"
I think hospital food's gotten a lot better over the years.
In fact, it's Jessica's favorite thing
about going to the hospital.
I still think it's pretty bad.
Madison wants to know,
"Who is worse with getting their shots?"
My kids do a really good job actually getting the shot.
Like when they get the shot,
once the shot's done,
for the most part they're like, "That wasn't so bad."
It's the whole time leading up to the shot.
The anticipation of getting the shot,
that is what freaks my kids out the most.
But once they get the shot they're like, "What?
"That was no big deal."
Except for the little babies.
If you've never seen a baby get a shot before,
it goes through stages.
The initial, "Oh we're cuddling.
"You're cuddling me really hard.
"That's kinda fun, I don't know."
And then they get the shot
and there's this look of just shock of like,
"How dare you?"
And then they just
do this mouth open tongue quiver.
It's like--
(imitating baby crying)
And then the crying starts.
Like there's this moment of silence with the tongue shaking
and then the crying starts happening.
And then it's just wailing.
I think that's how all babies handle the shots,
at least all three of mine.
Thank you guys so much for your comments.
For tomorrow, I would like your comments, questions,
on food preparation.
So if you have any questions on food
and what we eat or how we eat it
or what you should eat,
go ahead and leave it in the comment section down below
and I might feature it in the next vlog.
Thanks for watching.
(Parker laughing)
Dad's never had one of these before.
These were all the rage in junior high for me.
- Oh!
(laughing)
- [Chris] He fell for it.
It's a spiced mango lollipop.
