The Little Things

So realizing that I haven't posted anything since Christmas, I started thinking about what's been going on. I've come up with nothing.  We've been staying home lots trying to get better.  For example....Elias. His 1st puking. 15min before neighbors came for dinner.  I was excited that I caught it on my shirt & leg and moved off the rug before it hit the floor. Easy clean up.  The little things.

 Since he has been crying LOTS and LOTS during the day, and up ALL night, my normal self has been a little altered.  But I was SO THANKFUL when a friend brought me a few of my favorite things....plus ice cream that was gone before the picture! It was really nice to know someone cared I was having a horrible weekend. :-)  The little things.

 After making it to the doctor for his 1yr check up and finding out he had an ear infection, and teeth coming in along with the puke episode...I made a discovery in the drawer.  Medicine cuppers and droppers.  Looks like somebody has been sick....and who knows how many have gotten thrown away or played with in the pool. I was impressed by how many there were. The little things.

Two other little things that have brought joy: snow day and ice day. When I asked which the kids liked playing in better: snow or ice, they both answered "both".  I wouldn't have guessed that, although I did enjoy eating icicles with them.
