Desperate times...

Our last week has been a little hairy. Tucker, our sweet dog, had surgery today to remove a tumor on his eyelid. They suspect melanoma, but hopefully he will make a full recovery... that said, it just adds to the stress from sickness, sleepless nights, and my husband working really LONGGGG hours with tax season. Our health, just like the recent weather, has been totally unpredictable. I think this weather change ( 75 degrees one day, 25 degrees and snow two days later) has gotten us all out of whack. I'm not sure if the sinus infections or the cabin fever is worse though. We got desperate today, so we made our own "swimming pool" right in the bath tub. Complete with blue water and swimmies. This actually served two purposes... killing about an hour of time AND helping break up the congestion. Raegan even wore her swimsuit. This was quite a site, but boy did they have fun.
Drew didn't get into the whole "swimming" thing, but he did enjoy some mid-day bath fun.
She seems to be saying "WHAT??"
My favorite picture was after Drew was out of the tub and dressed. Raegan had the whole tub to herself, so we filled it up a little more. She just floated like this for about 15 minutes. She acts just like her mama!!
Here are Drew and daddy goofing off.
Ready for bed.
This has happened twice in the last week... Drew fell asleep in his high chair at lunch. Poor thing doesn't sleep well when he can't breath, and has just been too tired to maintain his normal schedule. He actually fell asleep sucking on a french fry in this picture :-)
Some SERIOUS bedhead from a restful nap.
Even though we are all tired and cranky, these blue eyes can still brighten any gloomy day :)

Bath time is our go to entertainment when the kids are sick too. I love that Johnson's vapor bath - it always helps open them up a little bit. I've never thought of having blue bath water, though. I'll have to remember that one.

Desperate times definitely bring out a momma's creativity. We've had numerous non-washing baths; it works magic with grumpy, stir-crazy and/or sick kids.

I'm really hoping this is the last of the cold weather; I'm ready for spring.
