Calling all travelers

Ok all you mommys, I need some traveling advice.  We will be taking our first airplane trip with Logan & Paige in December for Christmas.  Please leave me a comment or email me and let me know any advice you have for traveling with little ones, anything specific that we should take on the plane to help entertain them, etc.  I'd love to know if there is a specific item that you could not have lived without when you were traveling with the kiddos. 

Thanks in advance!  Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Well, it happened...

the dreaded stomach bug found its way into our house.  Yuck!!  First off, I have to say that I am so incredibly grateful that we managed to make it a whole year without having to deal with the complete ickiness that is the stomach bug.  I have no idea how we were so lucky to avoid it for this long!  Poor Logan woke up Friday morning COVERED in vomit and diarrhea.  I was greeted by an awful smell as I approached the room that morning.  As soon as I opened the door I looked over at Logan and realized what the smell was.  That little man sure is lucky that I love him so much!  Ha!  I just had to stand there for a few seconds trying to figure out a game plan.  I didn't know where to start with the cleanup process!  Thankfully he has only thrown up twice, but unfortunately the second time I was holding him.  Needless to say mommy and Logan needed a wardrobe change. 

Today he was still battling some yucky poop and a low grade fever, but all in all I think we've fared pretty well.  I am praying that the rest of us somehow manage to escape coming down with it.  So far so good, but we still have a few days left of the incubation period.  I have been a Lysol fool since Friday morning and I think I am going to need a really good hand lotion to soothe my dry hands from all the hand washing.  I absolutely hate this virus and I want these germs out of my house ASAP!

Thank you, Aunt Christi & Uncle Adam for bringing us a yummy dinner tonight!  It was nice to not have to worry about what I was going to fix for dinner. 

I hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!
