Sick Day

Good thing I let them get out first thing in the morning to play in the snow because this is what I ended up with last night.

 

Two miserable little bodies :( I'm thankful that it's not four miserable little bodies. I myself am not feeling awesome, but at least I have not puked.... *knock on wood*. Today we are watching Disney Junior and keeping bowls handy. At some point I am going to have to go clean the stains off Lemur's carpet (red valentine icing apparently taints the entire stomach contents).

Daddy called in to work so he could stay home and take care of his miserable ladies. He's at the store picking up gatorade and orange sherbert push pops right now.

When I was a sick kid I always got sprite and orange pushpops. So that's what I always think of when the girls are sick.

Why do people like to replicate their happy childhood memories for their children? Maybe because part of ourselves is miserable when our kids are sick so we not only want to comfort them, but ourselves as well. I know I can't wait to get my hands on a pushpop :p

Anyway, what do you use to sooth your sick kids? Are these comforts passed down from your own parents methods or all your own?

Are there any other things you remember from your childhood that you want to share with your kids? Chris wants the girls to grow up watching all the classic cartoons he grew up with. When I watch the cartoons from my childhood I'm shocked at how terrible they are :p
