Sick again

I have just put 5 kids to bed, with temps, runny noses and eyes and sore throats. i found it very difficult to lift the 11 month old into bed myself. Looks like its going to be a week of quarantine, tissues and soup. I would be great full for some gusto garlic recipes.
I have 3 large Queensland blue pumpkins that were bought from a roadside stall today near Kooralbyn and a bag of garlic. I'm looking at this recipe as well. Any home remedies would be great too. If anyone reads this post of course! I tried to take a pic of my pumpkins but low and behold my camera is broken (soft sobbing going on here).
Back to cleaning up the house while i have the energy, tomorrow is going to be a long day.

An old picture of Ryan just because i didn't want to post without a pic

So sorry everybody's sick.

Kids + sick=no fun!

I always thought running a vaporizer or humidifier helped with coughs. Also, misting saline solution up the little nose seemed to help with stuffiness. I alway swallow a spoonful of sugar, when I wake up with a scratchy throat and that seems to coat it. Sorry, that's all I got.

Feel better everybody!☺

Thanks Holly! I usually use the humidifier when they get chesty. Not a lot of that going on today. I woke up this morning finding it hard to breath as well as having all the kids symptoms which doesn't help. Off to the doctors this morning with 5 children following. Shall be fun!
I will give the spoon full of sugar a try.
