keeping busy....

so B has been in Chicago for the last week.

Me and the boys have been sick for the last week. We
are finally coming out of it... Thank God..

I just had a cold right after Christmas, and was so thankful the boys didn't pick it up... I guess it was just delayed a couple of weeks...
So being home sick with two sick boys, and no husband, has actually surprisingly not been that bad. My mom brought over all the needed supplies... soup, coffee creamer, sorbet, and gossip magazines... haa... haaaa... no seriously dumb magazines are the best..

So we hunkered down, blew noses, cleaned up puke, changed a million and a half poopy diapers and watched alot of movies, and took on the average three baths a day... Ollie slept in my bed with me... we had multiple humidifiers going and we survived....After a week of being sick, the boys were brimming over with energy... but since they still have what look like slugs coming out of there noses, and it is so freakin cold outside, we opted for another day indoors.... I did open all the curtains to let in as much sun as possible. It was bone chillin outside, but looked gorgeous and sunny....

Here are some of our indoor activities this week...

Ollie and me, and the art bin makes three.... He wanted to make a robot, I made him antenna and glasses and told him he was a robot... he bought it for awhile, than moved on to the stickers....


The boys love bubbles, I hate the sticky mess... problem solved, let them do it the bath...


This morning as one kid started using the couch as a jungle gym, I decided to make an obstacle course, we started out with just a bridge, and kept adding till it was the length of the living room, ending with a slide... this actually kept them busy for almost two hours... it was awesome..


We moved to the kitchen to make lunch, Ollie found a box of pudding while I was getting down the mac and cheese... so I had the boys help make pudding... Ollie dripped on the counter and started drawing with it, Max joined in... so I added a cup of pudding to the counter... boys painted for almost a half an hour... I made lunch and actually ate before they did for once...


So that was our week... join in next week for more adventures of the raetz clan....
