Sick Days

Being sick stinks! And the Brown house was surely a sick house last weekend/this week! Landon, Owen, and Philip all had STREP! I really don't know how they all passed it on to each other. Haha! J/K I'm guessing it has something to do with all the touching and food sharing that inevitably happens in a house with 2 so little and close together! Unfortunately, we didn't figure out that it was strep early, so everyone ended up feeling awful until Wednesday!

During the illnesses, there was a lot of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse watched at this house for sure! In between laying around for days, the boys would have random spurts of energy which included some iPad action, painting in the tub, and playing with their toys.

(Isn't Owie the cutest little vacuumer! He even gets under the chairs and tables! Too bad it's not a working vacuum!)

One of the mornings I was at home with the boys, we built a tent (our cave) in the living room. All of a sudden I said, "Oh no! I hear something! I think I hear a dinosaur!" We gathered up supplies to go on a dinosaur hunt around the house! I suggested a flashlight which Owie carried, and Landon suggested that we take his sippy cup so he could dump milk (or fire) on the dinosaur! We also had a blanket and a plastic golf club to use as a sword. We ended up playing this game for a good 45 minutes or so! Everything became a dinosaur! My favorite part of the game was when Landon pretended that the tub was a dinosaur. First he decided to pour soap in his eyes, then hit it with a golf club. After a little while, he felt sorry for the poor dinosaur and turned the water on to "wash the soap out of his eyes." Then he grabbed his doctor kit we had been playing with earlier and decided to nurse the dinosaur back to health. Owen just laughed and laughed as we ran around the house and roared! We all had so much fun using our imaginations!

Poor Philip is finally feeling better and trying to get caught up at work! He is usually NEVER sick, but in a period of about three weeks has had the flu and strep!!! Poor boy! Hopefully everyone will stay well for at least another month...or dare I wish for even longer... while I earn myself back some sick days!
