What a difference a week makes!

The boys are doing much better. We only gave Andrew a few breathing treatments; which did seem to help him, especially when he would have a coughing attack - but he didn't really like them and they did make him very hyper! They are both still on antibiotics (total 10 days). Carson does not like the medicine. He always puts up a fight ~ runs away, hides, squirms, cries ~ but then eventually takes it ok. Andrew has gone to preschool this week, which is great for everyone!

They are both into pestering each other these days. Often this is ok, whoever is getting pestered tolerates it well, with smiles and giggles. But other times, the one getting picked on does not like it. Carson will cry or retaliate with his "Oh, yeah!" and then do whatever back to Andrew that was done to him. Andrew will yell "MOM! Carson....." (whatever Carson did.) So it is so nice when they do play well together.

This morning I was doing laundry and came out to find this.....
Carson took the small laundry basket out of the laundry room and curled up under it. Andrew was trying to "save" him with this coast guard ship. Too funny.


Then later, Carson was helping fix the ship's engine. Notice all the sun shining in from the windows? I love it!! Today we woke up to more snow, probably 2 inches or so and a lot of wind! It has snowed off and on through out the day with grey skies but then we will have these wonderful periods of sunshine! It seems so bright shining off the fresh white snow.

This afternoon it is quiet here. The builders are now taping and mud ding the dry wall in the basement. This work is much quieter than the framing, sawing and hanging of the dry wall!! Naps were a little tricky during this time. I would end up holding Carson till he fell asleep and then lay him down. Yesterday when they were still hanging the dry wall, it was just way too noisy in Carson's room. So I brought him in our room and layed down with him in our bed. He layed so still (unlike his squirmy big brother) and then fell asleep. I got up, but stayed in our room and was on the computer for a little while. When Carson woke up, he sat up in bed and just simply said through his paci "Hi Mom." I know I may have said this before, but he is such a sweet little guy! One phrase he often says these days is "I miss you Mom." or "I miss you Dad." This is sometimes said even when he has been with us all day! Just too cute!
