Sick Day

A few nights ago Logan woke up nauseous, ran into the bathroom, and threw up in the toilet--bless him! It was so nice not to have to clean up throw up for once!  I told him he would be staying home from school the next day and that he could spend the day resting and watching TV. Through the night he woke me up about every hour asking if it was morning yet; I think he was excited for his sick day to begin! The next day he had a had a pretty high fever, but luckily no more throwing up. He spent the day watching four movies, drinking two cans of ginger ale, and loving getting to stay in pajamas and having Lovey downstairs with him. Aside from the not feeling well part, it was basically the best day ever.

The Tale of Desperaux

Over Christmas Break we read The Tale of Despereaux. It was a cute book and fun to read aloud. Then we rented the movie and had fun comparing the two. Now we "play Despereaux" all the time. Behold the Princess Pea, the King, and the rat. I think we will have to look for other books that are also movies to read!

Pockets

 For some reason, I think they look so cute with their hands in their pockets!

An Artist's Snack

This is how our in-house artist arranges his snack of crackers and spray cheese:

Cutest Penguin

"Look, Mom! I'm a penguin taking care of my egg!"

Cold

We have had a very cold winter so far, including a few days of historic lows (-15 with wind chills of -40), but the kids just really don't seem to care. If there is snow on the ground they want to be out playing in it.

Actually, Eli wants to not care about the cold, but he does. He always insists he wants to go out, and then is knocking on the door about two minutes later. Not that I blame him!

On the coldest days I enjoyed the crystals that were growing on our windows. They were much prettier than the layers of ice that coated the inside edges of all our windows!

Is winter over yet?

Friends

Eli makes friends wherever he goes:)
