Ya'll Gonna Make Me Lose My Mind

So here we are at day four of trapped at home by the winter bug and one more soldier has fallen! Yesterday when I took Henry to the doctor to get his croup rechecked we discovered Reese was also running a fever and had an ear infection as well as a cough. After 2 hours at the doctor with 2 sick kids we headed home with our mission to get everyone well!

Henry is getting better and to help this along the doctor had a nebulizer delivered to the house last night. He has been doing some breathing treatments every 8 hours and he thinks it is cool. He loves it because it looks like smoke coming out (my little fireman). Only problem is he keeps yelling "I am smoking" and "I love smoking" which are troubling things to hear from your 3.5 year old child.

Of course he doesn't know what he is saying and has no knowledge of what smoking actually means but I am just anticipating for his teachers to pull me aside one day and ask what we are up to at home!

Reese passed out at 5pm last night and woke at 7:30am this morning...that is 14.5 hours which has never been seen before in our home! She is on antibiotics and should be getting better quickly!

We have been in this house for most of the week and I am going nuts! We have had the occasional walk and trip out but the kids are constantly coughing and rubbing their noses so think we would be chased out of most places pretty quickly!

I have made Bill promise we can go out all day on Saturday so I can feel like a contributing member of society once again.

We made a tape race track around the house. They loved it and it gave us 30 minutes of happy play time and no TV. As Henry said "Mommy I am good at watching TV when I am sick!" This makes me cringe!

Ok here are some pictures of the fun!
