Sick Days

Sorry for the quiet blog lately, I have two little sickies that have kept me busy. Ryder, Gage and Tyson have been fighting colds this past weekend. If there is anything worse than sick kids, it's sick kids AND a sick husband. Ryder is slowly on the mend but little G just can't kick his cough, runny nose and fever. If I don't diffuses peppermint oil in his room at night his cough gets out of control. 




Oh hey did all you moms know it was daylight savings this past weekend?? I love daylight savings! -said no mom ever. It didn't really affect Gage but Ryder was not falling for bedtime while it was light out. Thankfully his shenanigans only lasted one night and he's back on schedule. 


Since the boys have been sick Ryder actually took a nap on the first day of sickness. Gage decided since brother was sleeping he wasn't going to give mom a break and skipped his nap. The day they both nap at the same time I'm throwing a party!


Friday I loaded up the boys for a trip to Walmart for sick supplies. As we were checking out, Ryder was in the basket of the cart begging for m&ms and I had Gage on my hip fussing cause he just didn't feel good. There was an elderly couple in front of me and the women says "oh my goodness you have your hands full!" Her cute little husband shuffles over to help unload my cart and she said "I swear it was just yesterday I had my babies driving me crazy in my shopping cart. Soak it up and don't blink because they'll be grown up before you know it." That little old woman totally made my day and I definitely won't take the time I have with my boys for granted. Even if it's a nightmare of a shopping trip

    Oh I feel for you on the sickness. We JUST got over it. B was sick then Maddox. Made for a LONG couple of weeks stuck indoors. I didn't know about the peppermint oil. I diffused Thieves in his room. I've been diffusing it everyday as well to help our air. I feel like there are germs everywhere an I need to disinfect all the toys. Hope they're better soon! Hang in there!

      Ugh I feel you on the sickness! Sick kids, especially sick babies are the worst! I hope you guys feel better soon! Your thieves will help a ton! I never have noticed diffusing peppermint to hurt my milk supply. I think that happens more if used topically. Feel better soon!
