The Hague Plague

Not too many things rhyme with our last name but plague does. it seems this February we have had a bit of a plague come over our house. Runny noses, barking coughs, itching eyes, feverish foreheads, sore throats and infected ears. That's whats been going around. I have yet to come up with a way to keep the whole family from getting sick. Maybe when the kids are older it will be easier to quarantine them but for now we are all sharing this bug...it seems to be the only sharing going on at our house ;) Funny thing about being sick, I try like the dickens to not give into it. I don't take medicine unless absolutely necessary and just go about business as usual (or at least I try) This is also the case for Lilly. It is very hard to tell when she is feeling sick. She still likes to laugh and play while she is sick and this was the case even when she was and infant. She's a trooper and just wants to have fun no matter what. Now onto my analysis of the boys in the household (I am not going to make a generalization about the entire male population...just my boys) They are wimps!!!!! As soon as they let out one measly sneeze or cough they feel like they have to moan and groan, lay around, and just be plain old miserable. I tell you, my patience and sympathy are all but worn out on these two boys!!! I had to hold my 23lb. child for three days straight, while I myself was not quite feeling up to par. There were just a few other things that made this sick little man happy (as long as momma was right next to him) Playing Wii with daddy....calling grandma to see if mommy is doing all she can to make me feel betterPlaying choo choo trains and Cars with mommySleeping, cuddling, carrying, chewing, wrestling and singing with his puppyAnd we finally got our happy little man back today. He's still a little toasty, and snotty but much much happier!!!

Oh My Goodness!

I know I just did a post about my Lilly girl but seriously how could I not post these pictures. After looking at these pictures it dawned on me...she's going to be 4...Yikes!!! Well, not until June but still she is going to be 4 and she is going to be 14 and shoot she is going to be 20 too! I sure wish we could just keep the little people little, but she really is turning into a fabulous little girl, so I guess its alright.

She was thrilled with this dress when mom and dad brought it home for her from their "date day". It even has a matching dress for her baby! She has been into cupcakes since before Halloween...its kinda her thing.
