A distraction

Things are still congested at our house. HY eyes are looking a lot better (thanks for the advice ONEHM) & Mini-E is happy as can be with the bubble gum flavored anti-biotic (yuck!). I a still wanting to chop off my head and get a new one, but we're doing better than yesterday.

Since HY hasn't been feeling great, I have no sledding, snow, park, or other adventuresome pictures to post. When we're sick, we stick to the house and watch tv (gasp!), color, read books, & scream at each other (the children, not Farmboy and I). It's pretty lame around here. We try to keep our spirits up and our tears to a minimum. So the other day when HY started screaming over something. I started doing this. For documentation purposes of course.

And then I got a very motherly idea. Distract him! I can't argue with my kids. I can't talk sense into them. But I can distract them. So, I asked him if he wanted to look through the window on the camera. Indeed he did.

He's quite the photographer. He even asked if he could hold it and do it "by himself"---uh? to which I said NO. And quickly distracted him to the kitchen.
