dizzycooks - keep trying different movies/tv shoes. My dds will only pay attention to a handful of things, but LOVE the ones they do. It definitely took trial and error to find the ones that click. Also tv shows are sometimes easier for them to get into. Peppa Pig goes over pretty well and you can watch many episodes free on YouTube. I hope you find a way to get some rest and everyone is feeling better soon!

dizzycooks, if you have a way to get youtube on a screen your littles can watch, try searching for "Simple Songs Little Snowflake". That was the first video that absolutely entranced DD1. And then DD2. And this winter when we had to use a nebulizer with DD3 and she was fighting and screaming, I put it on TV and she just sat there and stared while we finished the treatment. I don't know what it is about that song, but for mine it is like instantaneously stupor-inducing. Simple Songs also has a bunch of other cute ones, but the only other song that comes close to the magic power of Little Snowflake is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, where an owl and a star fly off together through the sky. Anyway, give it a shot. It's a really relaxing song anyway, nothing that will grate on your nerves. Here's to hoping it works and you get a few minutes of silence and rest..

It's snowing again. It's not supposed to stick, it's supposed to be back up in the high teens by Saturday. My alarm didn't go off (I turned it off since H was getting up Thursday and Friday) and it threw off my groove.

I think DD3 might be coming down with something. The DDs were really needy all morning but especially DD3, and she was crying at the drop of a hat (today is a national holiday here, so no work or preschool). Her naps were short the last 2 days, so I'm really hoping that was the cause and not her being sick. Both DH and I have meetings all day tomorrow at work :/
