What We've Been Up to . . .

Mostly, we've been up to being sick. Madeline started us off with a high fever last Thursday. After the urgent care and an appointment with her pediatrician, it was determined that she had the flu. After five long days of motrin and tylenol, she was able to return to school on the following Tuesday. Wednesday, I woke with a fever, left work early, and didn't crawl out of bed for close to twenty hours. I, too, had the flu. Friday, we got a call from Sophie's school to pick her up early since she too, had flu symptoms. She had a fever Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Miraculously, Kent was able to dodge all our germs and remain healthy, at least thus far. Sophie, coincidentally, was the only one who received a flu shot. So all together, we went eleven days with someone running a fever in our house.

Sunday morning, I was feeling a bit stir crazy and decided we were all in good enough health to ride the train at the pumpkin patch. Kent needed some convincing as he couldn't possibly see how riding a train could be more fun than watching football, but look, he is smiling and everything.






See ya Saturday after trick-or-treating! Happy Halloween, Everyone!
