The past three weeks has been crazy busy. Work, life, but most of all - a sick family!
When my kids are sick they hang out in our bedroom watching TV and resting. I like that I can sit with them to keep them company on and off during the day. That blue bowl is Sam’s sick bucket. He passes on the toilet - and has used this kind of “bucket” since he was little. I wrote a column sometime ago about our sick day plan which includes this bucket or if you are creative you can get a summer bucket and let the kids decorate with sharpie markers (with you around to insure only the bucket gets decorated) and it makes a comfort zone for a sick kid. A sick bucket also makes cleanups easy as they can be washed out and tossed in the dishwasher - even brought in the car for kids who have trouble on long rides.
The sick bucket has been put up and we are all feeling much better. Now, I can get back to taking pictures!
