As we anticipated Brandon did catch the chicken pox from Joshua. The spots started coming out last Wednesday just in time to put a damper on the start of the little guys Easter weekend. Poor little Brandon seemed to suffer much worse than his bigger brother and probably had 3 to 4 times as many spots. Part of me is glad that they now both have it out of the way, but the other half of me is crying out for a good nights sleep as the past 3-4 nights have been tough going. Chicken pox is a cruel virus for the little ones to catch and it is heart breaking at times knowing there is nothing you can do but give them a hug (or in Brandon's case - a tickle!).
Brandon had about two days stuck indoors where he just didn't want to go outside. Fortunately he is over the worst, back to sleeping, eating and playing outside with his brother. Check out this cute picture for brotherly team work. Whilst cleaning my bike they decided to borrow my pump to fix their quad bike, only Brandon was too short to work the pump so he stood on a stool whilst Joshua held the base for him.
Also with all this fine whether we have enjoyed several BBQ's already this year. In order to stop the boys wanting to play with my big gas BBQ they each now have their very own BBQ. So we have been enjoying the taste of plastic sausages, burgers and rolls all weekend.
The highlight of Joshua's weekend was to meet Thomas Tank Engine and The Fat Controller. We was really hoping Brandon would be able to come along too, but with his chicken pox in full swing it was unfair on him and the other children around. So it was just me and Joshua this time.
