Grandma Saves The Day

I've got two very sick twins and one very sick wife on my hands. This is the kids' second cold/flu of the winter and it's only December 2nd. Tell me the whole winter won't be like this.

Fortunately, Kate's mom was with us for the past five days, with seemingly endless energy, enthusiasm and ideas. She was so great I can't even make any mother-in-law jokes.

- Too cold for a sandbox. So here's the cornmeal tub instead.

- Jacob concentrating on a big spoonful on cornmeal

- Molly in the diaper box train

- We moved our comfy chair upstairs in the kids' play area - nice and bright for storytime

- Me pulling the kids in their new sled

Had a quick check in here - so sad about the colds! We give Rowie a liquid vitamin c everyday, along with some fish oil. Surprisingly, she finds both delicious, and the naturopath of the house assures us that it's keeping her immunity up. So far, so good. hugs and kleenex,p

Hope everyone feels better soon! That cornmeal sandbox is a fantastic idea!!
Eric and I are sans kids this week (they are in T.O. -- we'll meet them on Sunday when we go to watch the Bills play Miamia) and we are going through major withdrawal! Can't remember our lives without them! love to all, T-Lee
