R & R

Yesterday, the boys were in our unfinished basement for about 5 minutes before they came up.  As Bo came toward me every step across the wood floor I could hear "sqealch, sqealch, sqealch."  It was clear he was REALLY sticking to the floor & right behind him tagged Rocco picking at something on his hands.

"Mom...we found the bug trap,"

Bo beams proudly.

Translation:

They found a sticky pad (mouse trap) from years ago & it gets better...after my in-laws fire a month ago we kept their dog in our basement for 3 weeks, we didn't know how sick she was at the time but she wouldn't eat & lost A LOT of hair.  Even though I have spent some time trying to pick up the hair there is still a lot more down there.  So apparently, Bo got the trap stuck on his feet & Rocco pulled it off.  Then Bo walked through the hair.  He had as much dog hair on him as a dog would.  It was Soooooooooooo bad!  And that glue does NOT wash off with water.  It was so bad that I couldn't stop laughing (or wincing at the nastiness) for quite sometime.  So after LOTS of scrubbing with soap & wet wipes the boys spent a looooong time in here:

So even after 4 days of the kids battling the flu,

I don't mind that Rocco woke up with croup. 

It means a day of this:

R & R and lots of extra tv time...

did you know they show 4 episodes of Dora in a row?

Who knew!

Even as I type one handed Rocco is so

sweetly snoozing around my baby belly.

 I like thinking of him curled up next to the babe.

So even though he is asleep on me & I have to go to the bathroom like only a pregnant woman does, AND the remote seemed to dissappear an hour ago so even though the boys are both passed out I am still watching Dora , I can look at the bright side:  I get to hold my baby all day AND I am thinking of planning a trip to Spain to try out all the Spanish I am learning from Dora!

Life is Good :)
