Gophie loves a fever
Sicko (this was weeks ago, Fallie is fine now)
Poor Fallie got sick as soon as school got out. She had a 103.2 degree fever so we went to the doctor. After waiting for well over an hour, she finally got to go back to an exam room… and this happened. The girl has taken about three naps since she turned two years old. The doctor took her temperature and examined her ear before Fallie woke up.

a sign that she really isn’t feeling good
Fallie asked if she could watch a movie after school instead of going outside to play.
Sick again!
Finn was diagnosed with strep throat last Friday. I hate strep throat. A few years ago, Finn had antibiotic-resistant strep for months and eventually it led to pneumonia. That better not happen again…
Guess who had a fever last night…
and this morning. Plus her little sister took a big swig of water out of her germ-contaminated cup last night. Yay.
flowers from Fallie
After her adventures with Babo, she brought these home for me. You cannot see it in the photograph but she tied the flowers together with grass. I love it.
a scene from this past weekend or I’m glad it is over
somebody is feeling better
Somehow K manged to avoid the plague and proved to be very, very lucky. I don’t know if it was a stomach virus or the flu but we are all feeling better now. Finn still gets worn out quickly but appetites are coming back and we are all more active. Gopher Guts is panicking - she LOVES a kid with a fever. She was able to snuggle with someone 24 hours a day for a week straight so now she is being a brat and won’t leave me alone.
Thank you to all of our imaginary friends who sent us messages, wishes for a quick recovery and good vibes. It was greatly appreciated and cheered me up quite a bit. Sorry I didn’t respond to everyone - it was a difficult week and a half…
BC - the skull girls and I would still LOVE to see some funny animals if you happen to come across anything good… Thanks so much!
the school clinic called or how to ruin Fallie’s weekend
Fallie is home sick with a low fever and sore throat. Tonight her sister is going to a friend’s birthday party (a sleepover with laser tag!) so Fallie invited a friend to spend the night here. Big bummer. Poor kid is on the couch watching a movie about fairies (have I mentioned that she hates tv?) and looks awful. At least she isn’t throwing up - that is so much worse.
