Bleh-Kinda-Days

Our whole house is now sick with sore throats, runny noses and little coughs. We have a teething child, it won't stop snowing, and both of us cannot keep our heads above water at work. But here we are- making our best efforts to enjoy life, slow it down when we can and have a little fun.

So, we eat snacks on the floor.

We listen to people's weird teething-advice like: Babies love pickles when they are teething...

...Hannah was not a fan of pickles....

We now make her eat her dinners out of bowls that are suctioned to her tray so that Riley doesn't gain 20 pounds over the next year. She didn't quite get the whole bowl-thing and kept looking inside to see if there was more...

And Justin and I found ourselves taking out our stress by rapidly firing Hannah's toys at one another in a living room war. I was aiming for Justin's head when I accidently hit the lamp...

Whoops. I guess that is why you are supposed to do those things outside....but hey, we were desperate to get out some stress related agression. And it worked, as we stood in our living room ducking behind couches, running in-and-out of doorways and planning our next move, I have not laughed that hard in a while.

Cheers to making the best out of every situation.

Did I give you the pickel advice?? Because Claire LOVED pickels (and still does)!

I loved the picture of H looking in the bowl and then saying "all done" :)
