under the weather

Mommy and Daddy were home with three less-than-healthy kids today. Three fevers, two ear infections, and two new teeth. They all went to the doctor (two separate times), Hudsy has a double ear infection, Pax has one, and Harlow seems to be just teething. So today we did some cuddling, some playing, lots of puzzles, lots of movies, a little eating, and lots of medicine taking.
 Sister can still get herself into trouble, fever or not.
 He wore his gloves, or according to him "glubs", all day long. Even to the doctor, along with his sunglasses. The nurse said he made her day. She said they had to put their family pet down yesterday and she hadn't smiled since...until seeing this little guy. He'd melt anyone's heart.
 And this one, this goofball, he's sick too. Thankfully, it's a good mood kind of sick. His started yesterday, so after two days on an antibiotic, he's on the mend.
 And back to his silly self.

saturdays exhaustion

It was quite the Saturday! Seemed like so much happened, yet all we did was stay home and hang out. Daddy hurt his back at work on Friday (fell off a ladder) so he was bed-ridden, leaving me and the kids to entertain ourselves all day and all night. I kind of feel like it was a day of kids vs. mommy, and the kids won. After I put Harlow to bed, I told the boys if they needed me, I'd be in the bathtub, and I so enjoyed that much needed bubble bath! A little of our day....

The boys ate lunch in the living room. Pax refused to get dressed, which is his normal for days spent at home. Hudson demanded to wear a "feely shirt" (fleece), which is his normal for every single day!
Proof that the boys can be oh-so-sweet, so cute....and weirdos all in the snap of a picture.
This girl....she is ON THE GO! She's fast, she gets in to EVERYTHING, and she likes to have Mommy in her sight at all times.
I can only assume she'll follow in her brothers footsteps, and soon enough she'll be throwing things down this shoot too. A pet peeve of Mommy's! 
Sister could play with a balloon forever. She chased this one around the house over and over again. I was even able to sit down and eat lunch!
I happened to catch some sweet moments today too. And a moment between these two doesn't happen often. Notice the scratch on Harlow's nose- that'd be from this big brother. He may or may not have peeled her chubby little fingers from his toy, which made her fall and hit her nose. He claims it was an accident, I have my doubts. 
She managed to get in there all on her own, and I'm still not quite sure how she did it. 
I heard giggling coming from the bathroom, but when I went in, there were no boys to be seen. I asked, "Are Hudson and Paxton somewhere in here?" And in response I heard, "No, Hudson and Batman are." Paxton spends about half of each day wearing a costume. 
I brought out a tote of "new to Harlow" baby toys. The boys quickly emptied the tote and found other uses for it. 

Good night sweet babies. Sleep tight and sleep long. Mommy needs her rest.

mum-mums

Yesterday, daycare sent me a picture of Harlow eating a mum-mum (rice cookies/crackers for babies) and said she loved them! So we tried them at home tonight. This girl already loves snacks!! She eats her meals good, but nothing gets her as excited as puffs, yogurt melts, and now mum-mums! 



I had to video her because hearing the "crunch" was just too cute.

bye-bye

Harlow waved bye-bye to me this morning for the first time!! It was the cutest thing, her moving those chubby little fingers, smiling at me....then my heart broke as I walked out the door to work. She makes it so tough leaving her. (The boys barely say goodbye.) Here's a little clip of her new trick. And her old trick, shaking her head no-no. And her getting super mad that she can't have Paxton's juice. 

At daycare

I got this picture from daycare today. She said (according to daycare rules) babies aren't allowed to have anything in their cribs, so she puts Harlow's seahorse on the dresser next to the crib so she can see and hear it. When she checked on Harlow during nap, she found the seahorse next to her. Harlow must have stood up and grabbed it to snuggle with. For the love of a seahorse. P.S. Man this picture made me miss her!
