Sick days, again

I remember posting about the kids being sick in October.  Thankfully, this time no one needs an ER visit or even one of those CVS clinic visits, though we do have a doctor now that has seen some of us.  We have coughs, sore throats, and a lot of fevers and runny noses.  I think we've progressed through everyone now.  Benjamin seems to be the last to get everything.  He was well enough to go to church and give his talk in Sacrament meeting (main meeting of our church) and even stayed all 3 hours when Tom came home after just one.  (Benjamin got a ride home.)   The kids have all been troopers, and most didn't even need days off their schoolwork because the worst times seemed to be at night.  The fevers got worse, the coughs kept them up, and nothing was right.  During the day, life was good and they decided schoolwork was fine.  At least up until yesterday.  We took two sick days, Valentine's Day and yesterday.  I think everyone is ready to jump back into it all, chores, schoolwork, and all of it.  Here we come, world.

There's nothing like being sick to help you appreciate being healthy.... Nothing. 

Thank you, Emilie, now I know to keep an eye on your tonsils... 

Two preschoolers asleep at once... priceless?  I'm just glad they are starting to feel better.
