Nice to have days off from work but not so nice when you have 2 sick kids, a messy house and hopes to finish painting the kitchen floor. We took Harlan and Shelby in to express care last night because Harlan complained of an earache and Shelby was just miserable with coughing, wheezing and lots of sniffles. Turns out Harlan has his 2nd earache ever occuring only about a month from his last one and Shelby tested pos. for RSV (a virus) that start as a cold and doesn't get better fast. We just need to let it run its course.
So I had both kiddos at home while I still managed to paint the kitchen floor. We decided to pull up the very old vinyl tile floor that was crumbling apart and just temporarily paint the floor until we, someday, remodel the whole kitchen. It is turning out nice and a much better surface for Shelby to crawl on. By the way, she is getting around still by extending her arms and dragging her legs. Once in a while, she will get on all fours and crawl. Although she is not feeling good, she still seems to turn up a smile and giggle with evey tickle. Our kids our troopers and we are so grateful to have 2 wonderful kiddos.
Pics/video of Christmas coming soon.

Poor mommy too.
RSV is no fun. Glad you caught it early!
Isn't it fun to have sick kids on my only vacation this entire year! Wouldn't you know it? Yes, I thought it was just a cold and I almost didn't get her checked out. It was a "while-we-are-here" thing! She is getting much better but still has that smoker's cough. Anyway, hope your days off are great and you are enjoying your babies too. I love being at home with mine. See you back on the grind on Monday!
