I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I am not a big fan of winter. I am good with it leading up to Christmas....the lights, the tree, hot chocolate, warm fires...all very sweet and homey.... But once Christmas is over, I am DONE with this weather. It's cold and dreary and everyone gets sick and you can't go outside as much and everyone gets sick, and I can not wear enough layers of clothes, and everyone gets sick.... This year it started before Christmas with pneumonia and asthma attacks. After Christmas, it was the flu, fevers, headaches, and stuffy noses. Did I mention that in the winter EVERYONE GETS SICK??? So after getting snowed in with a blizzard at the beach house, not getting to do some of the fun things we had planned and cutting our trip short when The Bear started getting sick thus missing more of those fun plans, we had a few days of rest at home before school started again. After a relaxing few days everyone was better to go back to school the Monday after the break. The Princess was even ok for basketball practice on Monday night. Then she woke up that night with a fever of 105! She was home for the next two days. Have I mentioned that this rarely happens in the summer? I'm just sayin'.......
So after two days home resting, drinking lots of fluids, and watching a lot of TV, The Princess was feeling better. So, finally, this morning, everyone was well and went to school. Daddy drove them, so as they pulled out of the garage I heard the music pouring out of the van and I saw three heads bopping along to the music..... (Apparently this "joy ride" was the topic of The Boy's Kid Writing today at school). Thankfully they came home this afternoon happy and still feeling well. It was kind of cold and overcast outside (and their friends were not home across the street) so they played down in the playroom. It was so nice to see everyone up and about and playing. I had to get a picture of these three healthy kids..... Because it's winter and you never know how long this will last..........
