This one time we were sick...

I hearby dub this month, the month of the sickies! Yes, that is right, we have kind of been sick all month. Well, not all month, there were a few days where we got out of the house and visited people and did things that normal people do. But then there were a bunch of other days where we just stayed home and watched way too many "Daniel Tiger's neighborhood." Lucy is signing the songs now--ALL.THE.TIME!!
 
This last week was probably the hardest. Lucy got a fever and a cough, then Sam got a fever and cough. The kids deal with sickness differently, but for the most part it means cranky kids, mom and dad.
 
We have made it to the end of the week, still not one hundred percent, but we did have a lovely day yesterday. Mostly because of the snowy day and the weekend. We did a lot of fun things together, and it was relaxed and for the most part the kids were not acting quite as sick.  So here you go, so pictures to document our weekend, that was kind of normal and boring.
 

 Are they not the cutest little sick kids?! Sam won't watch a show for more than a few minutes. Lucy is a zombie until it is over.


Lucy also decided to make some pretty epic blanket forts.


And we play with trains a lot too.


Sometimes Lucy asks me to take pictures at random times.



We made some pictures, and colored some hearts. The hearts went on the kids' bedroom door. They are all conveniently too high for Sam to reach.



We also went outside, because this was the first real significant snowfall. Look at the snowman with his vegetable face. I think he looks more like a bird.



Classic Lucy.




This was something I did with Lucy a few weeks ago, snowflakes. I thought this pictures was appropriate as the snow was falling.


We also played with Lucy's circuit set. One of the set-ups causes the fan blade to rise in the air as you turn the switch on and off. Lucy does it over and over.


Sam does this...



We are starting to get Lucy excited about board games...she is a Cooprider after all. Here is her Olaf Sorry game. She plays until things get old i.e. 15 minutes. She is usually winning, but gets antsy.

And for the rest of the day, we roasted a chicken, watched a movie together and just hung out together. After our week of sickness it was nice to be together. Let turn a corner. February, the month of good health and beautiful weather...
