The weather here in Iowa has been cray to say the least. One day it’s –40*, and the next day we’re wearing flipflops and filling the kiddie pool! Ok, that’s a lie. But it feels that way sometimes.

We’ve had a whirlwind couple days of the stomach flu around these parts. I don’t do well with cleaning up vomit… but when Nick’s at work, and it’s dark, and my children need me… I sort of snap into this super-human wonder-mom and git’er done.
This was what the majority of my day looked like yesterday:
It’s so hard seeing your little ones sick! They’re so helpless and pathetic. We watched the Lorax more times than I’d care to admit.
But right at this moment, I having a glorious quiet morning with my warm cuppa joe. Here’s a real-time pic:
The sisters slept solid through the night without any projectile fluids. In fact, they’re going on 15 hours of sleep… so I prolly ought to go check on them, huh?
I’ll leave you with some non-sick pics of my babes so we can end in a happy place.

I have asked myself approx. 1 million times this month “Why do I live in Iowa again?” This weather is brutal! Hope your littles are on the mend soon!
I’m praying the girls are feeling stronger this evening and well on the way to mending! Also praying that you and Nick remain strong and do not get sick too.
Looking forward to seeing all your new projects. You and Nick are so amazingly talented! : )
Awww, poor little ones. Hope they mend quickly. Lovely pictures by the way!
Wishing you a wonderful day.

Thank you Jennifer 🙂
Aaah sorry to hear your presiuos girls are sick. Hopefully get get over it soon. I too had somewhat of the stomach bug… better now.. Can’t wait to see your next project..!!
Aw poor littles.. my own had whatever was going around it was hard seeing my wild 2 year old who is normally up at 5:30 running around the house not wanting to even get out of bed.. broke my heart. I hope they are feeling much better.
Poor sick babies! I hope they start mending soon!
That picture breaks my heart!! I am of the belief that sick/hurt babies are THE saddest things in the world. Poor munchkins. I’m glad they had a better night. Speaking of… How in the WORLD do you get them to sleep so long?? I know they are sick right now, but you have spoken in the past about them sleeping 12 hours or more at a stretch and still napping too! My girls are like little jack-in-the-boxes and pop up out of their beds at exactly 8-9 hours. They do take 3 hour naps, though…
Anywho… I’m glad things are in the upswing at your house.
P.S. LOVE Delly in the cowgirl hat! Macy has been very creative lately and has come to me saying “I merdaid” (mermaid) with both legs in one pants leg, “I pincess” (princess) with a tutu and tiara on, and my favorite “I no-man (snowman) with a red decorative door tassle hanging around her neck. Hilarious.
Haha! It sounds like Macy loves to accessorize and has a wild imagination just like our Della!
As for sleeping, the girls have ALWAYS slept 12-14 hours at night. I can’t explain it. However we don’t get long naps during the day, so I suppose there’s always a trade off. 🙂
Hope you are through the worst of it and doing better today. Hard when little ones are sick!

Have you tried re-subscribing? By putting our URL in the upper left corner of the Feedly screen?
Yep. More than once actually. Oh well. You guys are definitely worth the “trouble” of actually opening the browser and all that jazz. 🙂
It HAS been crazy here in Iowa. On Sunday when it was above freezing it felt like spring! I think seeing your child(ren) sick is THE hardest thing. Especially when they’re little and there’s not much you can do to help. Hope they are feeling better soon!!
