Battle of the bug

It has been a very long 10 days in the Nitschke house. The nastiest bug hit and lingered for about 9 days too long in my mind. Poor Logan got hit with the flu which turned into a chest infection and then a head cold. I got hit with this lovely bug about a day later. Luckily Craig had a mild version and Alena did not get it at all, so 50% of us were functional.

This is how we spent a lot of the week. Curled up on the couch watching parts of the Polar Express over and over and over.


Since we were pretty much home bound, we had to start thinking of creative things to do. We fused two of Logan's favorite activities, playdough and hockey. Hours of fun were spent shooting playdough pucks with the playdough stick (although not much strength in those sticks, but that's half the fun)into the playdough net. Now, that's what I call a fun time :)





And Alena enjoyed her home time with more tummy time than normal. She's getting to be a strong little girl. Gosh, have I said I love her cute hair?

  1. Hope 100% of the Nitschke's are feeling 100% better by the time Santa comes.
    Love the hockey play dough idea...going to try that out today! Another fun one...make play dough with cinnamon and nutmeg then take your cookie cutters to it. Gingerbread men without the calories and temptation! :)
    And one more thing....is that a potty I see in the background? Way to go, Logan!!!
    Ok, another one more thing...Alena's hair is adorable. A little like a troll doll but in the sweetest way!
