Stressed spelled backwards...

...is DESSERTS!

Sometimes there's only one way to cope:)

When your baby gets very sick on her birthday...desserts. (Yes, we have eaten cake at several meals this weekend.)When your older child sneaks the tops off three cupcakes while you tend to your younger sick child...desserts. (If you can't beat 'em...)When every child who stays at your house gets sick one after another...desserts. (With extra germs apparently)

When your husband is gone for days of hardworking service and both kids inevitably get sick...desserts. (And thankfully you have parents to come to the rescue...luckily more desserts:)
When your child's fever continues to spike and any medicine you try to put down her makes her throw up...desserts. (Even tried sneaking meds in those, too!)
When you sleep halfway off the bed with a snoring/coughing toddler breathing in your ear...four nights in a row...desserts. (Close to visions of sugarplums?)

When you think about all that needs to be done before you host a 40-person party in a few short days...desserts. (You better believe there will be desserts there.)
Hmmm. My clothes may not fit anymore after this weekend...but at least I'm not stressed!

Audrey and Brenna are incredibly sweet even when they are sick. It was our pleasure to help out a little this weekend.
