Picked up the boys from the bus and came home to laundry.....picked up a sweet new feather duvet and cover from thrift this morning and here the boys are--wrapped up in it as it came out of the dryer......bugs in a rug!!
Isaac is such a comedian......
It's contagious.....
So....after dinner at the Rentons, we put the kids right to bed when we got home. Around 12:30am...chris and i had been asleep for only an hour or so - Elliot came tearing into our room, door swings open and slams against the wall and there he stands: hysterical and gasping....oh no...the croup is back. I pulled him into bed and held him for a bit before we laid him down between us.....he cried and yelled....i got him some medicine, tried a few distraction techniques....none worked. He fell asleep for a few minutes while chris put some clothes and shoes on. He waited about 1/2 hour before elliot woke up again, crying. Chris pulled him out of bed, wrapped him in blankets and headed to the car for a ride. By the time he got to the lake, Elliot was calm and fine. When asked if they should go home now....elliot pips up "no...i think McDonalds will make me feel better".....and he was right.
This morning, was a little slower paced. Isaac got onto the bus as Elliot lay with dad, having a quiet morning, processing his happy meal and laying low....but around 10:30am, he was ready to head to school.......good thing too -- they were carving pumpkins!!
He isn't 100%....who knows about how tonight will go.
We are all dressing up to head to the big party at the grocery store (yeah...small town living!!)
