I made paint out of corn starch, water,and food coloring. We spread a drop cloth out on the bathroom floor and he "painted" a card for my mom's birthday. Mostly he just liked splashing his hands in the paint.
I followed the recipe, but the consistency never got quite right. It was supposed to be custard like, but it stayed like water.
He seemed to enjoy it though. So far, the rash isn't getting worse and he doesn't have any trouble eating or drinking. I have everything crossed it stays a mild case.
This was the website. I did try adding more corn starch, but I think if I do it again I'll try making it on the stove. Which I never use so that should be interesting.
NellieOleson This ability to immediately access info is a blessing and a curse at the same time. I would say try not to Google too hard, but I would.

We are watching Sesame Street this morning. He woke up crying which usually doesn't happen. The rash got worse over night, so I don't think he's feeling the best.
My dd2 puked all over her bed and has a fever. We were suppose to host a Halloween party for which I've already prepared all the food for and decorated the house and put out all the games. I am so bummed. This is day 5 of someone being under the weather.

I've got chicken soup on the stove bc I have no meal plan atm. Tonight was party night and tomorrow was out and then I was roasting a chicken on Tuesday, but the chicken is frozen solid. Lollipop and silverspoon i'd send some soup your way if I could!

Thanks for the good soup vibes! H is making cheesy vegetable soup as I type.
There's no way he can go to daycare tomorrow. The rash is still spreading. H is taking Monday off and I'm going to get things ready tomorrow so I can take off Tuesday and Wednesday if necessary.
My time off rolls over the middle of November. If this could have only waited two more weeks! At least then I would be paid sitting at home.

It's 9am. Everyone is still sick, but I think H didn't get it as bad. DD1 thankfully never threw up, maybe she's over that phase? DD2 still has a stuffy/runny nose. H has been a PITA for the last few days. He thinks it's funny when he makes me mad and now tells me he is doing something to make me mad. He doesn't communicate very well and just becomes a smart ass, so I rarely try. And I'm letting him sleep in, even though I'm the one that got less than 5 hours of sleep. We went to the pumpkin patch a few days ago and then carved them. We've had a few little trick or treat evens where the girls dressed up. I'm sorry NellieOleson that has to be hard. I also do all the google searches all the time. I hope J gets feeling better silverspoon. Nothing worse than not knowing what's causing it. dizzycooks sorry for all the sickness.
silverspoon, so sorry about the rash. Will you be able to stay home with him tomorrow? That would be the best dizzycooks, sorry about your party plans being busted. I hope everyone feels better soon. Bet the soup is much appreciated! scorpioscuba, cutest little pumpkins! Still pretty jelly of your weather. How many times have I said I miss LA? 408756198652348? NellieOleson, oh my gosh nellie, i hate that you both are struggling so much. I'm praying your guys get some kind of answer and proper treatment. I would be going crazy. kcrkcs, sorry you couldn't sleep more. Sometimes I like when DS wakes up super early because I can just lay on the couch with a huge mug of coffee and marvel at his cuteness lol. kelltothekell, glad you guys are having so much fun, i bet your mom loved the company! sjames2015, JFC YH sounds very immature. I'm sorry. I know your groove is being screwed up with him being home. I definitely understand that. MH will be home tomorrow and I'm already stressing. But maybe we'll go trick or treating together with the kids so that will be nice. He's never been with us.
I slept in until 845 this morning! Crazy. DD came in and got me at 845 but DS was already awake in his crib. Sometimes he does a great job of just entertaining himself in there so I can lay in bed for a little longer. Good start to the day We went to church and then to the store and Starbucks. I dropped the kids off at my mom's and now I'm home working on the computer and doing housework. DH is leaving for a week tomorrow. We've been getting along well lately so yay!
I'm feeling pretty good today. Still a bit sore, but I'm not hiding out in my room like I did for most of last week. I'm still stuck on soft foods and lots of pain killers.
S is cleaning the playroom, after freaking out and being sent to bed when I told him the first time. H is playing with M so she doesn't get in S's way.

Ugh!!! Why didn't my H just go to campus to study like he said? As much as I hate being on my own so much I have the bedtime routine down. When he is here he always fucks it up!!! 😡
NellieOleson - hope that you get to your doctor soon and get all of your questions answered! scorpioscuba - kick him out!! Lollipop - congrats on your real meal! icequeen - 8:45??? I am SO jealous! LOL!
