the swine flu.......

Ok, it just sounds gross. All three babies have H1N1 otherwise known as the swine flu.

So anyways, the whole family is on tamiflu, for preventative measures and to try and keep it from lasting really long. It started with Syd, she got a huge fever and I couldn't get it down, so off to the clinic, and surprise, she tested positive for influenza. By 3 am, Dylan was awake feeling awful, by 4 am, Marlee was up, and of course Mommy was up all night checking on all three of them for fevers! Suffice it to say, Im a little exhausted!! But I do want to make sure that if anyone else out there has sick kids they have these things on hand...... Introducing Momtothreebabies' official sick day goody bag:

* Johnson's Vapor Bath-- heaven on earth for sick kids ( and momma's and daddies too ) It just feels soooo good to everyone! It is my number one must have.

* Sunny D- I know it's not the most healthy of orange juices, but it's super yummy. :)

* Pot Holder Loom- I have so many beautiful potholders right now... and it keeps the kids happy :)

* TV- yup I'm one of those moms! My kids are plastered to America's Funniest Home Videos and Full House :)

So, this weekend we are going to whip up some red velvet cake from the Pioneer Woman cookbook, rent old movies, and Chillax with plenty of sunny d and bubble baths!!!! Hope everyone else has a super great weekend!! :) Love, JL~ momtothreebabies

Romance in the air

Come to my home to visit

Welcome! Right now as I sit here at my computer, there are all kinds of things going on around me! Pull up a chair! In the living room we have a big box that is holding one child, who is coloring away. It is a beautiful box. It has been decorated with flowers, people, and a dragon! It is a fun place to sit in and color!
In the dining room we have the remnants of last nights games sitting on the table still! Uno and yahtzee! We have so much fun playing games after dinner. Sometimes its connect four and checkers! You never know!
In the kitchen is the dishes waiting to be done! lol. The sun is shining through the big kitchen window though, so doing dishes today will be a pleasure with the sun shining in my face.
In the playroom we have two kids playing. One is in the tent, reading books, the other is playing with strawberry shortcakes berry cafe. Would you like some raspberry tarts?
In the kids bedrooms mommy is especially proud because they all three made their beds! hooray! Books are laying in the tub beside their beds, ready for bedtime reading tonight. what a comfy tradition. Dylans room has all kinds of toys ready to be played with as soon as he is done in the box lol.
Our home may not be immaculate, but it is full of love and learning and that is what makes it a home! :)
