Living in a house full of sneezes, coughing and runny noses... wanna come over? ;)

We have all been SICK with a bad cold! YUCK! Jack started to not feel well last Thursday, and then it hit us all... no fun, no fun at all. So, our weekend consisted of Brian and me, taking shifts with the kids. When not on "shift", the one "off" was in bed.


We are feeling like we are all on the mend, but noses are still running and coughing and sneezing is still occasionally happening. Now it seems we are all just tired and have that drained feeling after being sick. Poor Maggie seems to still be in the midst of it all :(. But, she is a trooper, when up she is mostly happy and wanting to play, but there have been lots of cuddling, rocking with Mama or Daddy, and LOTS of cuddling with white softy lamb (her absolute favorite stuffed animal, that plays a sweet song) and of course, purple blankie is always a go to!

So, we don't have a lot of news... as we, literally haven't left the house in a few days... lots of stories, coloring, playing trains, laying on the couch and singing songs, laying on the couch and reading books, and just plain laying on the couch resting, and, of course, the occasional movie or two.

Brian did feel well enough to go to work Monday - but, if any of you know Brian, he has to be on his death bed to miss a day of work... unlike myself, who would call in "sick" to hit up the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, only to run into my boss there. Oh, the good old days... HA!

But, will share some fun pictures from the past couple of weeks... Some were literally taken out of boredom... AKA: Maggie wearing a hat, Maggie being silly, etc.... Can you tell some Mama was quite bored after a couple of housebound days?

Jack is still somewhat "camera shy" (hence not so many pics of him were "allowed" to be taken) - AKA: yells "no cheese" - as in "don't make me say cheese"... I think we over did it with him as a baby... Sorry, Buddy, but it's going to continue any chance we can get!



Cute girl in an OWL hat..... Whooo's the cutie?



It's.... MAGGIE!
Hopefully looking out the window, most likely wondering when will I ever get go outside again? HOPEFULLY TOMORROW!!!



Apparently, Maggie felt that she needed to fend for herself while everyone was sick... CAUGHT: going through the fridge, trying to get to the yogurt... ;). At least we know she is self-sufficient!



There it is... found just what I was looking for...

Sweet Jack (NOTE: and George) fast asleep on the couch... less than 10 minutes after he told me he was not sick, or tired, and definitely did NOT need a nap. He didn't move a muscle, when I carried into his room and put him in his bed. Hmmm... Jack, were you surprised to wake up in your bed 3 hours later? ;)

Resting in Mama & Daddy's bed, watching Curious George on the computer... who knew you could rent and/or purchase movies, etc. on Amazon, and watch them instantly? Well, you learn a lot of things when you're in desperation mode... and only have Netflix, which has NO Curious George... serioulsy, Netflix, GET WITH IT!!!

Thank Goodness, we are all on the mend... we are ready to get out of the house! Hoping to make it to storytime tomorrow... c'mon, munchkins, we can do it!
