Quarantined

Last week the babe was diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease.  Yuck!  I hate writing that!  In my opinion, it actually sounds a lot worse than it actually is.  Maybe Cooper just had a mild case- but that didn't stop him from passing in on to sweet Asher and Clara!

At any rate, we were quarantined for a week.  Thankfully, the pain from the mouth ulcers and blisters on his hands only lasted for about two days.  Poor guy!  So, we spent A LOT of time indoors watching Praise Baby, singing "The Wheels on the Bus," and crafting.  Boy, did we craft!

A little fall wreath for the door.

A ton of birthday decorations.  I seriously need to stop.  It's kind of getting ridiculous.

We took several trips to Home Depot, Lowes, Hobby Lobby, and Target.  Cooper spilled his entire container of Cheerios on Aisle 8 at Home Depot.  Woopsie!

We decorated for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Absolutely my favorite season.  A cold front came through this week, so now the high temps are around the mid 80s.  Thanks Lord!

During one naptime, I painted an end table with Chalk Paint.  

I painted a chalkboard.

I made a table runner.

We played outside in the yard.

He loves to pull the grass out!  Maybe next year we can teach him how to pull the WEEDS, not the grass!

I made some whole wheat veggie pancakes to trick Cooper into eating vegetables.  I think it worked!

We got some good mail- my Erin Condren planner...

And Coopy's birthday present.  I probably shouldn't have shown it to him, but he clearly was getting stir crazy and needed something new to play with.

The babe took a few naps in my arms.  My favorite, favorite, favorite thing in the world.

And then today, we were cleared to be around other kiddos!  So up to the Chic-fil-a Playplace we went! Justice, Pierce, Corban, Clayton, and Reid, we've missed you!  I am thankful for a productive (but restful) week, and thankful to now have a happy, and healthy little babe!
