My little man...

This week has been tough for us...I am sure all you mothers would agree that having sick kids is almost worse than being sick yourself.  Broden stopped sleeping at night Sunday night.  By Tuesday night he had a cough and a fever.  The next day the fever was gone although he still had a nasty cough.  He acted better but was hardly sleeping and he didn't make a good bed companion.  Thursday he had a fever again.  So Friday I took him to the doctor.  He ended up having a double ear infection on top of a really bad cold.  I started him on the antibiotics and gave him the ear drops the doctor gave me. I sure was ready for a good nights sleep.  No go.  Friday night he refused to sleep at all he just screamed, so we watched movies until 3:30 when he finally fell asleep.  Saturday night he only woke up 2 times and last night only once, so  I am hoping he is on the mend.  I think the little guy wore himself out this week because this is what he was doing today instead of eating his chicken nuggets,which he usually won't give up for anything.  Sometimes I don't think you realize how grateful you are for healthy kids until they are unhealthy. I sure love having this little guy happy again.

Mr. Snowman and friends

Clay has been bugging me for a couple of weeks to make a snowman.  He is pretty bummed when I just keep telling him it is the wrong kind of snow.  I am sure to a 3 year old that sounds like a pretty dumb reason.  Snow is snow right?  It finally did snow and He and Broden were able to go out with Shane and use their new shovels they got for Christmas.  They also got to make a snowman although, Broden wasn't too interested.  Clay is pretty proud of him though.

   They also got to have some friends over.  They all played really well together.  They played with play doh, toys, and had fun in the tent my Grandma made the boys for Christmas. Their favorite was being up high on the top bunk.  It was fun to have them.  I really think the boys get tired of having me as a playmate all of the time.  I don't think I am always the most enthusiastic truck player.  So it was nice for them to play trucks with someone who likes them as much as they do!
