family day

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and for those lucky ducks that had an extra long weekend, I hope you took full advantage of it. I had this whole weekend planned out, visiting with friends and family, hitting up Winterlude and getting a million things done around the house. Well, let's just say that none of the above happened for us. Both kids caught a bug at the beginning of last week and it was still going strong ALL weekend long! Our days consisted on holding crying children, wiping snotty noses and running cool baths... not how we pictured to spend our Family Day holiday, but we did spend it as a family. The kids are on the mend and I am hoping to rid this house of those rotten germs. It breaks my heart when our tiny angels are not well...

This picture sums up the last week around here.

Our little girl couldn't break her fever for days.

She spent most of her days cuddled in bed with all her stuffed animals.

There were a few moments when their energy came back...

Little Miss L. was so disappointed that she missed her Valentine's party at preschool. She still made sure to make her Valentine's when she had a burst of energy. Happy to report she delivered her cards to all her friends yesterday.

She made sure to colour on each and every one of them.

There was a lot of this that went on. As much as I do not like seeing my babies sick and hope this is the last for the winter season. I did however, enjoy our snuggles.

The weather is changing, which means that cold and flu season is upon us. Well, three out of four people living in this household came down with a cold last week. The weekend consisted of a little girl whose cough broke my heart to listen too, a little boy who struggled to sleep with his stuffed-up nose, and a momma who wasn't in the mood to come down with a huge head cold. Big thanks to a hubby who dealt with three whiny people, just one more reason why I love you! Even though I was under the weather, I was still happy because one of my favourite seasons is right around the corner. I love love love fall and all it has to offer. It is time to watch the leaves change to a beautiful hue, hit up the apple orchard, and we can't forget it is pumpkin picking time! Looking forward to getting healthy and enjoying the next few weekends of fall.

The leaves in our backyard are already changing!

I love love love cattails. 

As much as I am looking forward to our pond freezing so we can skate on it this winter, I will miss watching the frogs on our lily pads.

Our new friend the Heron. I can get about 10 feet away before he decides we are too close for comfort.

I can't believe how big he is.

Even though she was a sick little girl, she still was able to smile.

Taking a moment to relax with my little bundles of joy.

Best friends.

One proud daddy

I love Little Miss L.'s facial expression - it says it all.
