  • Germs and Gone

    After going for a good long stretch, we were felled by the flu. It was pretty trying, since it hit just as Seph's slumber party was getting underway. She didn't get it until later, but the other two kids and I were a mess. Helpfully, Chance hurt his back in the middle of all our patheticness, so could moan from the floor to set the proper mood.  The kids and I are now onto the coughing phase, and Chance got sick just as his back felt better.  

    The upside is that I was sick enough to hate food for several days, and my pants fit better now!

    We've been having trouble getting back in the swing of things. Since about February, when we had the roof fixed, our normal schedule has been out the window, so not a lot of seatwork/schoolwork getting done. Seph is working on a book, with very cute pictures that she draws in crayon.  Rone has finally finished his huge lego ship, and is working on robots now.  Seph is signed up for a theater camp, and hopefully Rone will get in off the wait list (I KNOW! what on earth! he's being a good sport about it, though) for the camp he wanted.

    Being sick led to a bit of a hiccup on the potty training front, so we are all working on that project with Cotton. Hopefully she'll be back on track soon. 

    Here is a random assortment of pictures:
