well it was january. for like 75 days.
and then it was february for about 12.
and now HELLO march!
this post brought on by both kids napping and me feeling like I'm catching my breath from the rampage i've been on trying to kill every little flu bug that may be contaminating my house.
I've never been so worried about a bug/virus as i have been this last week.
brandon came home from work last friday night and it hit him out of no where. we weren't positive if it were the flu or not, well by day 3, he went in and got the official diagnosis.
...my worst fears...
sounds silly, but everyone has been saying how this bug is just SO BAD. and we did not need the kids and I catching it as well.
quarantined him to the bonus room upstairs, while wearing a mask.
since then i've been disinfecting like a mad woman. all while washing our hands til they're raw. loading up on extra vitamins + fluids + essential oils. and we have for the most part (with exceptions of quick runs for prescriptions and a few groceries) been homebound since.
monday evening harper came down with a fever. it came and went for the next couple of days, never really going higher, and no other symptoms really sticking around long enough to matter too much. and now today she is acting nearly her normal self and NO FEVER all day long.
hesitating to not jump the gun, but i am jumping with joy inside!
tanner and i have yet to show any signs of sickness... so we shall see!
fingers crossed & prayers being said.
MARCH 1ST today and the sun is shinning. although it really won't 'heat up' here in washington for a bit still, i'm eager for some more comfortable temps where we can head outside to play in the afternoons. and i know the kids are too! multiple times a week harper is saying to me "when is summertime coming? it's taking so long!"
into the third month of 2018 and it has felt like a whirlwind. various life things going on, then adding in sickness. i've taken a bit of a 'break' here and there from social media + blogging. and really it has felt nice. and refreshing for my mind too. sometimes it just feels good, right?! and can be so needed. but then again it is so fun too and i get to where i miss my blogging 'hobby' :)
it isn't uncommon for me to request of these two to stop and take a picture quick before we load into the car from leaving the house. well lately both have been running up to the side of the house without a single request from me and standing there for their picture haha!
i turned 29 on february 14th (valentine's day!) and brandon surprised me with a getaway!
lots of time spent at the spay + relaxing + eating.
these little hams. love 'em to death.
SNOW! this was the first of two!
i've still been wanting to share a couple pictures (i'll get there) ;) probably on
insta stories. but we painted a few rooms in our house as well as changed out a handful of light fixtures. things we've wanted to do for quite sometime. it is amazing what paint and fixtures can do to a place!
