Holiday Illnesses

Since Christmas it seems that we have had at least one sick kid for every holiday or event. We always look forward to spending extra time on these long weekends and getting to do something fun but then we have a sick kid so it always gets cancelled. [Grumble] Owen has never been much of a sick kid but the past 6 months has been horrible and then add in Aiden who catches all of Owen's colds. Ugh! For some reason this year has just been a sick one, and not just for us, a lot of my friends are seeing the same. I wonder what it is. But here is a recap of our 6 months of sick holidays:
Christmas: Owen has a week long cold
New Years: Owen gets a double ear infection from week long cold
Aiden's Birth: Owen spikes a fever out of no where
Easter: Owen has a small cold
Mother's Day: Owen gets really sick, 105 fever and all. Passes the runny nose to Aiden.
Last week of school: Owen gets ear infection from previous cold (got better one day before school, woohoo)
Father's Day: Owen gets another cold, passes it to Aiden
July 4: Aiden gets an ear infection from said cold

But in between all those times we've been healthy, so I guess that is nice. We are just tired of sick kids over the fun holidays. Here's hoping Labor Day brings healthy kids.
