The kids have been SO SICK. Like, I'm pretty sure they've had the flu. It didn't feel worth the hefty co-pay cost to bring them in for an official test, but they have been down and out with fevers, cough, chills, the works.
Julia came down sick in the middle of the school week and wound up missing the last three days of school before school vacation. Madeleine came down sick right after the last day of school and wound up missing both swim meets this weekend. Ethan and I have been cooped up in the house with sick kids with the soundtrack of hacking coughs filling the air.
Julia was up and about before Madeleine, but yesterday seemed to be the first day they were both back on solid feet.
ETHAN: (checking on Madeleine after he got out of bed) Madeleine, how are you doing?
MADELEINE: (delivering two excited thumbs up)
ETHAN: Oh, good
MADELEINE: I'm so HAPPY!!!
As you can see, they've reached the end of their rope being cooped up for so long. We've hit the borderline manic break point:
Yeah, it's time to get these kiddos out of the house.
