Sick...

This week our house has been sick! First Abby for two days, then Alex.  Of course they are never sick at the same time.

Taking medicine, normally a thing they love, has been difficult.  Abby has spit out about 1/2 of her dose at least twice.  I don't blame her.  The chalky appearance of the liquid medicine would make me spit it out too!

They have been a little less crazy since they haven't felt well.   It doesn't stop them from fighting.  This mornings argument was over which ipad was the "new" one and which was the "old" one.  We have two identical iPads.  The programs vary slightly, but they have a lot of the same apps the kids play.  The only difference visually at first glance is a slight difference in the griffin case.  And sadly my 3 and 4year old can see the difference.   Yesterday's fight was over who got which bucket (they are blue and pink) and Abby was insisting that the blue one was hers.

They have also been insisting in saving every cardboard box we have to make a rocket ship. Thanks again Daniel Tiger!

Being sick also leads to some other interesting things.  Pretty much they refuse to eat.  That is until something yummy like banana nut pound cake is available.

They pretty much refuse to change clothes.  Abby stripped down to her diaper at 8:30 a.m. (It was cold in the house....low over night was 47 and we had most of the windows open). She got dressed about 5:30 pm when I forced it because Mr. Matt was coming over.

They have also been fighting taking a bath.  I set the timer before I started writing this,  when it goes off, hell or high water, we are taking baths.  They stink!  I may need a nap after bath time and it is about 9:15 a.m. :).
