Sick, Sick, Sick!!

This month we had the worst sickness that our little family has ever had so I just need to document it!! I can't even count how many doctor visits we had or prescriptions that we filled so I will just list exactly what went wrong with each of us. Also, this was all in a matter of 2-3 weeks and the stomach flu that came was while we were STILL sick with the colds, etc. It was pretty horrible!
Jacob - cold/flu (which was a nasty one), stomach flu
Katie - cold/flu, bronchitis, double ear infection, stomach flu, sinus infection (in that order!)
Emma - cold/flu, 10 days of fever, turned into pneumonia, had to take steroids to help with the asthmatic cough
Maddie - cold/flu, double ear infection, stomach flu (She was such a trooper and made it to the toilet to throw up almost every time. She only had 3 "accidents"!)
Makenna - cold/flu, double ear infection (She is such a good baby, I had no idea she had a double ear infection. Never whined at all and they were bulging by the time we checked it out!)

It was ALMOST laughable because the sickness seemed to be never ending. The amount of medicine that I was "handing" out everyday was insane. I am thankful that we are all better now!

St. Patty's Day

My girls are getting old enough now that I am TRYING to do some fun things with them, especially on the holidays. We all know that I work from home so its hard to squeeze everything in that I want but we manage to get some things in. For St. Patty's Day this year, a little Leprechaun sent us on a fun treasure hunt. The girls quickly got the hang of it and we definitely enjoyed running around the house finding all of the clues. We also enjoyed green food all day which the girls especially loved!
