Today I am thankful for
...cousins for my kids. They have been playing non-stop for the past 2 days with their cousins, and it is so fun for all of us. It also means they fall asleep a bit easier at night, which is always a reason to be thankful! :)
...Vicks VapoRub. So after Ryan couldn't get Benadryl the other night, we found some (VERY old!) Vicks and put it on Jack's feet. He stopped coughing and went to sleep pretty soon after that. Last night (at 4 am) he woke up coughing, and I put more on his feet. (This is apparently effective. From personal experience, I can say that it works better than putting it on his chest. Jack freaked out when we did that. Yikes!) I put it on Grant tonight because he's been hacking with a scary cough today, so we shall see what happens.
...the promise of tons of yummy food tomorrow. Instead of celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday, we are doing it tomorrow. My mother- and sister-in-law have been cooking like crazy today, and I know we're going to feast on delicious things!
...great big hugs from my kids. All of my kids give awesome hugs, and I love them!
