Harper puked. Luke puked. Harper puked again. Luke had explosive diarrhea at 3 O' clock in the morning. More puking, more pooping more loads of laundry. This describes the last couple of days in the Van Eps house. At anytime being sick or your kids being sick totally stinks, but during the best week of weather St. Louis has had since September, it really, really, really stinks!
Big Man got it the worst. If he wasn't pooping through his clothes then he was puking on them (or me, or Jeff, or the couch, or the high chair). On top of whatever nasty virus he got, he was also fighting off an ear infection. (Oh, and by the way, side affect of his medication...diarrhea!)
Neither of our kids are super cuddlers, but all they wanted to do while they were sick was sit by one of us. While Luke was sleeping all the time, Harp was having trouble staying asleep, apparently it helped to lay next to dad and watch a little "Max and Ruby."
Even though Harper was only sick for about 24 hours, Luke was (is) still puking and pooping, so Harp and I had to find some inside activities to do. We decided she needed some legwarmers, so we made some.
She's pretty cute in 'em. If you sew, go to
newmillie.blogspot.com and I'll show you how to make the easiest legwarmers ever!
BLUE EYES!
Our Beautiful Harper loves the spring weather and getting to be outside.
She is a great sidewalk chalk artist.
Very particular about her pictures.
Luke is actually sick in this picture. We spent over a week cleaning up his puke and poop, but he's such a sweet boy and a good sport about being outside!
Our new favorite activity. He gives us taste of what we're in for when he starts walking on his own...he doesn't so much walk as run everywhere.
