We finally found something that Metta is terrified of.
The snot sucker.
She woke up at five this morning with a face covered in snot- and a bit congested and coughing. I got out the saline and the sucker to clean her out and you would have thought I was removing her brains through her nose. I took her downstairs for the procedure and Kent could hear her screaming: "owie! owie! owie! owie!" from upstairs.
These pictures are from this evening. She has a little PTSD and now screams if I even hold the thing closer to her.
Besides torturing our kids- we've been trying to come up with some good ideas for Christmas gifts for them. We don't really want more STUFF to move- so we've got to come up with some other great ideas for aunts and uncles and g-parents to give them. I'm not completely against small things - but they really don't need any more toys!!
thoughts? ideas? for a family gift we are considering something fun like a trip to great wolf lodge- or other activity to do. But what can extended family get them? I'm open to any and all suggestions!!

Subscriptions to Ranger Rick or that type of magazine? Things to do in the car...like a Magnatab or hidden pictures books?
I am with you all the way. I am so sick of toys around the house. I am planning on getting the boys craft things from places like Micheal's and Hobby Lobby. Things that will give them something fun to do, we can display them for a while and then toss them out. Like a small model air plane or one of those card board houses they can color, play with and then toss out later. Sounds like throwing money away a little bit, but at least we will have fun with it before we throw it out :)
I SWEAR by hyland's cold tablets...they start loosening the snot super fast. If you do 2-3 every 15 minutes for the first hour they really work fabulously...and it's easier than saline. The hyland's cough syrup also helps keep them cleared but takes a bit longer to kick in.
