Keeping C Entertained

      We have had another busy week that is ending on a really good note. I haven't taken many pictures, but I will share the few that I did take. On Sunday morning we did Easter crafts. Connor really liked putting the stickers all over the eggs and it kept him busy for a while!

Keeping Busy

     I have been in a major spring cleaning type of mood the last few days. Part of it is because Kylie is shedding like crazy and I have to vacuum multiple times a day. The other reason is because my parents are coming to visit us in a few weeks and we are going to be celebrating Connor's second birthday. On Wednesday I even took the cleaning outside and swept the sidewalk. I never do that! When we moved the doormat, we found several earthworms living underneath it. Connor thought they were very interesting. He was a little scared of them and wouldn't dare touch them... thank God!

 Keeping his distance.

Feeling Better

    So Connor and I are FINALLY starting to feel better. We have been doing a lot of hanging out around the house the last few days. That means a lot of reading, playing, and talking to family on FaceTime. Before naps and bedtime, I always let Connor pick out a book for me to read him. Well on Sunday he picked Fox in Socks and my goodness was it a tongue twister! I don't think I have ever read that book out loud, nor do I think I ever will again. He laughed at me several times because I kept messing up the words. It was pretty funny.

 Connor read the book to me first.

Hold You

    I have heard those two words more than 100 times today. That's what Connor says when he wants for us to pick him up and hold him. He is doing better now, but we had a rough night last night. I started feeling like I was coming down with a cold and had a hard time falling asleep. I took some meds and brought Connor into bed with me at about midnight. After that, I don't think I slept more then a couple hours. At one point he had a temperature of 102.8, so I gave him some Tylenol and rubbed some peppermint oil on his forehead, temples, back of his neck and feet. A friend of mine who has knows a lot about essential oils has used it on her little ones when they are sick, and it has helped them, so I tried it.

 Taking Tylenol in the middle of the night. His sad face and bright pink cheeks make me sad :(

Mommy/Son Day

    Every week day is a mommy/son day, but today was really fun {except for the evening, but I'll get to that}. We started with pancakes and fruit for breakfast, then played kitchen. 

Play Dates

    I have been really bad about blogging these days. Part of it is because my computer has had a virus and I hate editing photos on Aaron's computer, and the other reason is because we have been busy. Now my computer is fixed, so hopefully I will start posting regularly again :) Here are a few other pictures to catch you up on what's been going on over here.

 We still have the bunny Aaron brought home. He is growing fast!

Saturdays Are For Playing

     We have had a good weekend so far. The boys started their day by playing with the bunny Aaron brought home from work. Yes, I said a bunny. My husband has a bad habit of finding animals that he thinks need help and bringing them home for us to nurse back to health. When he told me that he had a surprise for me, I somehow already knew I wasn't going to like it...

I called it!
