What Am I Doing Wrong?!?

Both my boys are very sick with colds right now (Joshua has a fever too so maybe his is the flu?) Joe is on Vancouver Island playing rugby and I am here with the kids. I'm trying not to be bitter about this but so far I am failing. :P

For 2 days now I have had 2 screaming children. Fortunately, they don't often cry at the same time ... they each stop crying when I am cuddling them. Unfortunately, I cannot cuddle both at the same time so more often than not there has been at least one screaming and crying child in my house. I am exhausted and don't know what to do about them.

This is not entirely a pity post, ... I also need advice. Many of you have more than one child ... what do I do to stop the crying?!?


Here is a very rare happy shot. The boys are on the bed with Grandpa Rick, watching cartoons. Joshua calls that brown chair thing 'Joshua's seat' while James gets the Bumbo borrowed from Owen. :)

ugh! poor you! I can't really remember. I think you just bear with it. I know that's not really encouraging...

(have you tried candy?:P)

Joe, Stacey, Joshua, James and Matthew said...

Mental note: Stock up on candy ;)

Amy said...

drink, maybe?

Just kidding. kind of.

You sure have cute kids! And I can't believe how big James is already - he's such a football player, eh?

are you guys coming to Pascha. are you going to be well enough?

Joe, Stacey, Joshua, James and Matthew said...

Yes, we will be at Pascha. We might not make it for the baptisms because we need to put the boys to bed first but we'll definitely be there for 11pm. :)
