my day today in pictures

because of this little sick guy (stomach bug)...

he gets to have this...
and benjamin gets banished to his room to play...
so i can use all of these...
and bleach the toys...
and samuel gets to nap with buzz.
whew! i have a had a day!

ps and if you know me at all you know i am deathly afraid of getting the stomach bug....ironically my sweet boy gets it for the longest time possible and i am literally a CRAZY person until the house is completely sanitized 4 times, the laundry is all washed and nobody is sick for 48 hours!

icky medicine!

the LONG, drawn-out, very frustrating, miserable medicine taking process....

i tried everything...bribing with popsicles, fruit snacks, gum, sucker, anything...then i tried threatening....then i tried pleading...for THIRTY minutes!!!! and to think we have to do this for TEN (yes that's TEN) days, THREE times a day! OH MY GOODNESS!! kyle said maybe we try mixing it with dr. pepper!

(i will say the medicine is SUPER nasty and i tried mixing it with apple juice...NO GO!)

he finally took it...some spilled out but oh well...i did the best i could for tonight!

sick sick sick

well my little samuel is sick today....he has quite the "issues"! he has staff from an infected fingernail, pin worms AND strep throat. :( poor guy! all of this and NO fever and NO complaints! i was shocked when dr. hoover told me all of this. i almost didn't even take him in! he is on a mega antibiotic for 10 days to knock out the staff & strep. he also had to take pin-x for the pin worms...eewww! dr. hoover said they are from the dogs and/or being outside. sometimes i am amazed at how samuel gets the most extreme sicknesses and really doesn't complain. he is a trooper...maybe because he has to be! sweet boy!

on top of samuel being sick our a/c is out! soooo....he is set up with a fan in his room, popsicles, water & of course toy story & little bear on the ipad.

ps if you are wondering what's on his face...it's an old spider web tattoo!
