Pee

If for whatever reason, you happen to think your child's room smells like pee, don't chalk it up to Vic's vapor rub and sweat. It's probably just a wet bed.

Josh is sick again, cough, tons of nose goo- albeit mostly clear, congested, with a low grade fever. So I tried the Vic's on the feet remedy I'd read about. His feet were soaked, not sure what substance, but the while bed needed to be stripped and changed. Karl gave him a bath and we got him snuggled in bed thankfully with my old twin comforter.

Here hoping for a better day tomorrow!!

Broken Nose

Apparently our children all forget how to blow noses at about age 2.
We had taught them to blow out, but they all regress at about 2 1/2 and suck in when we try and get them to blow.

Josh has massive drainage and it is really nasty.

Making progress

We are slowly getting settled into our new home. My Mom came a few weeks ago to help unpack the house and either here I was able to focus in painting cabinets and walls in the kitchen,the dining room, unpack the family room, and start to set up the playroom in the basement, and my office/craft/sewing area. She has put together several bookcases which is wonderful help as I stink at that sort if thing and usually want to smash it before I take it apart and rebuild it one more time!
I love my new yellow cabinets and funky blue paint! I need the final details/decorations in place but the retro look is just what I wanted. The light Karl hung for me really brightened the formerly dark kitchen. We still need to finalize installing the trim in the dining room, but we are making progress getting settled!
