Sick in Bed

Well... Monica and Winry are sick.  So far Brooke and I have been holding out and are still well.  Hopefully that doesn't change.  Winry seems like she might be getting better.  She hasn't needed medicine today and she hasn't had a fever either, so that's great!  Brooke spent some time this morning serenading Monica and Winry and helping them to sleep!


Last week when it was time to go to church Winry really wanted to bring her koala, so I got the baby carrier for her.  I'm not sure she even knew we had it, but she LOVED it!  Look at the pure bliss on her face!  She also brought a bottle to church, and I spent much of sacrament meeting holding koala like a baby and helping her drink her milk.


On Monday morning when I went to get Winry up she was, in fact, a jumping frog!

Winry started throwing her blanket over her head and wandering around last week.  I don't remember which day this was, but I only remember it happening one day that I was around.  It's probably best if she doesn't keep this up as she almost walked into several walls and chairs.


The girls love olives!  I don't remember if I liked olives as a kid, but I don't enjoy them now.  However, sometime years back, but post childhood, I remember thinking it was crazy that people could get their fingers into olives without breaking them.  Now that I have kids I get it again.  Turns out you just need little fingers.


On Wednesday morning, when I headed out for my run, it was a whopping 11 degrees!  Don't worry though, it felt like -1!  After running a few miles my buff over my  mouth was pretty clearly frozen in some places.  Just a few seconds before taking this picture I took a slightly longer blink and my eye froze shut.  Not too bad, it still opened, it just felt a little stuck.  That was a pretty good signal it was picture time.  If you zoom in you can see there is ice on my eyelashes.  Overall, pretty frosty  morning.


While I was at work on Wednesday, the Easter decorations came out.  I think Monica was actually going for St. Patrick's day, but that didn't stop the girls.  Winry found a cozy bed for her koala.


Brooke immediately instigated egg hunts.  Days worth of egg hunts.  As soon as you find all the eggs you conveniently have a basket full of eggs ready to go hide!  And cycle and cycle we did!  I bet it'll still be exciting on Easter since there will actually be candy inside then.


Winry has started reading some of her books at night.  She currently loves "The itsy bitsy Pumpkin" and "Rain Rain go away"

Winry was the first to get sick.  On Friday she had a fever as high as 102.5.  Fortunately Tylenol helped wonderfully and kept everything under control.  She's even slept great.  She'll be whiny every once in a while when her medicine wears off and she's feeling bad again, but a little after she takes some medicine she's great!  For the most part she's acted like normal.


On Saturday morning I made bagels and we watched the Olympic marathon trials.  It was a good morning, and the bagels turned out even better than we remembered them being!  Guess I'm going to have to start making bagels on the regular.

The girls and I ran over to Salvation Army last night.  A pack of chalk that we grabbed didn't have a price code on it, when the lady punched in a replacement she "missed the date" which apparently affects the price, because it rang up as $9002.24.  Don't worry though, everything was 50% off, so I saved $4501 on the chalk.  Worth it!


Last week we were looking at pictures of cats from the place we got Jelly, and ended up going all the way back to pictures of Jelly as a little kitten!  The girls loved to see her way back then.  Just look how cute she was!


All in all it's been a pretty calm week.  Nothing too exciting going on.  Just relaxing and recovering.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
