Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter weekend. On Saturday we went to a little Easter party and Peter's sisters. We dyed Easter eggs and had an egg hunt. Aydan had a great time playing with his cousin Halle and trying to find all the eggs. Sam had a good time sleeping, he took a nap during the entire party. On Sunday the boys woke up to find that the Easter bunny had stopped by. They both got Easter baskets with some candy and a toy then they had an Easter egg hunt in the house. Aydan found the most eggs, seeing as Sam was more interested in eating the Easter grass then finding eggs. Later that day we went to my brothers house for dinner and some family time. MiRanda made some really yummy soups! We again dyed eggs and had another egg hunt. Aydan never got sick of hiding and finding the eggs. It was such a nice day we spent most of the day hanging outside enjoying the weather. Finally Spring is here! Well sort of.

Oh The Joys of Parenting!

It has been a very tiring couple of weeks. Aydan and Sam both got really sick, especially Sam. He saw two different doctors and was tested for pertussis. Thankfully it was negative, but he was still really sick. Aydan ended up with bronchitis and was put on antibiotics. Sam got a double ear infection and bronchitis. He got antibiotics, ear drops and nebulizer breathing treatments. His cough was too weak so he needed the nebulizer at least twice a day to help him breath. It was kind of scary and of course he wasn't sleeping very well. Not like that is a change, he is still going strong on not sleeping through the night. Oh and let me tell you have fun it is to try to give Sam his antibiotic. I am surprised that he is better, he pretty much spits out all of it. It took both me and Peter to hold down Sam, open his mouth and blow in his face. And yet he still would spit and wiggle enough so most ended up on his neck. What a pain! The boys are doing better now. It seems that most of their cough is gone and Sam is no longer wheezing. They are both back to their normal crazy selves!
