Shake it up!

We have had an extremely rough week and a half around this house.  We have been plagued with the nastiest bug I have ever encountered in my life.  It has gone through everyone but Ryan-thank goodness for his iron guts.  I wont go into details to spare your own stomachs but I will say our washer and dryer has ran continuously for 10 days and we will probably have a water bill higher than when Ryan was obsessively lawn watering this summer.  Kadence and I also had recreated words to "This is the song that never ends" with our own "This is the stomach bug that never ends..." On a positive note I am hoping (and praying) that once this bug leaves our home we should be good for awhile and be able to enjoy Christmas.  

I had to write this post so that I could remember Kadence's adorable name for 7-up.  Our kids rarely get pop and to be honest with you they never even ask for it.  We have been desperate in settling the kids' poor tummy's so I gave Kadence a few sips of 7-up.  It seemed to help her for a little bit and she would ask if she could have another sip of "shake it up."  I corrected her a few times but quit when she didn't get it and I realized how adorable it was when she would ask for her "shake it up."  

We have spent way too much time sick and at home, it has been exhausting for everyone.  I let the girls work out a little frustration by finger painting this morning.  They had a blast!

 I had to laugh because neither one of them loved having paint all over their hands and asked to wash them in between painting.  Little cutie patooties!
