Sick, Sick, Sick

Well the long awaited February break is upon us!  And guess what?  The kids are sick!  It started with Oliver last Thursday.  Poor guy.  He had the fever, boogery nose, and couldn't sleep.  Which means he was MISERABLE and we were not sleeping either.  Well, yesterday he started to show some improvement.  And guess what?  Yep, Claire got sick!
Poor thing.  I will say this though, she is pretty tough.  And she is a much better patient than Oliver (sorry buddy).  Oliver just gets frustrated and angry when he is sick. Nothing makes him happy. Claire just wants to lay around and relax.  So, last night Oliver finally slept through the night and guess who didn't?  That would be Claire.  Today she seems much better.  As long as she has her ibuprofen she seems to do alright.
Oliver is on an upswing (knock on wood) and seems to be getting better.  This morning he ate some breakfast and played for a while without whining or getting angry.  His new thing is that he flips anything over and makes it a track for his trains.  Here is Claire's chair as a track.
His cheeks are still a little pink and his nose is still running but he is fighting through it!
This what my house looks like after 6 days of sickness no sleep.  
Oliver and Claire were really excited about their tent being put in the living room.  But Oliver was not thrilled when I attached the tunnel to the side of it.  That is, until he realized that you could crawl through it!
Even sick they still have fun together.  I am pretty sure that I going have to lysol the heck out of this tent when they are finished with it but, at least they had some fun.

Say a prayer everyone gets better soon!  AND SLEEPS!!!!
