Sick Days

I'm sitting here waiting for the next person to throw up or need new pants.  It's been a rough day around here.  The stomach bug has knocked out Josiah, Greta, and as about a half hour ago, Morgan.  We'll see who's next...

Josiah was sick on Saturday and is having a hard time returning to normal.  All he's eaten is crackers and a few bites of soup.  This picture was taken a few days ago when he was feeling good.  Poor little guy has also had a rash on his cheeks for a couple of weeks.

Reading Lunch

Certain children of mine are always trying to read at mealtime.  For numerous reasons, I insist that they put the book down.  After years of fighting this day after day, I finally came up with a solution.  One day a week, Friday lunch, we will have a "reading lunch."  Yesterday was our first.  This photo was not staged.  Lunch was sooooo peaceful and soooo quiet, I may need to rethink the frequency of this.

The view from here

Little Mr. has been full of crabs these past 2 days.  Is it the ears?  It is the teeth?  How's a momma ever supposed to know??

Me: "Greta, what are those things coming out of your head?"

Greta: "Pwabably...my pigtails."
