Pear, Oranges, Strawberries, Blueberries, Potato

Today was a rough day for the kiddos.  My babies are both fighting a nasty germ bug and have this cold/cough fun going on that is keeping me on my toes.  Blake has been feeling sick since Wednesday when he first mentioned his "headache" and explained his conclusion that his head hurts when he shakes it from side to side.  My sweet boy.  I hate to see them hurting that is for sure.  Equally, I hate this...

All.Day.  

Well, I did get away for a few hours to work and hubby covered, but this same reaction from the kids was waiting for me on the couch when I got home.

They just dont feel good and my heart breaks for them!  So tonight, the meltdowns got more frequent, the whining got louder and I quickly got dinner, bath and bedtime done.  

Books were read, warm jammies were on and I layed with Blake for a few minutes in the dark as we do every night.

Blake and I were talking about something (I can't even remember what) and it came up that him and I are a good team.  I said, "we make a good pair".  Blake then said, "yeah, I am a pear, you are an orange, daddy is a strawberry and piper is a blueberry, cooper is a potato, chloe is a onion and buster is a poop".  

And, just like that all of the whining from today faded from my memory and I went to bed with a grin and a happy heart.
