Well, my day really started at about 10:00 last night, when Lucy was struck ill. We didn't sleep much last night and had a late start to our day today.
Lucy followed me around the house on her pallet. Her super kind and somewhat indulgent father actually carried her on it like a little package of sick girl. Stomach illnesses throw me for a loop. I feel like I have no good protocol for them. Cold? Fever? Migraine? I've got a plan that works. This stuff? Not so much.
Jack worked on his cursive - thank you Handwriting without Tears for your tear free, cheap and effective product.
We painted the 4th and 5th days of creation. Lovely, not quite a magical as yesterday, but still good. He hasn't externalized much about the stories, but I can tell that they are really reaching him in a deep way. He was so contemplative while painting these and then drawing the 6th day of creation. He was, though, quite horrified by Adam and Eve being naked in the garden. Completely on his own he came up with a timeless remedy - foliage.
Then, after a full day yesterday of being fine, the poor boy relapsed. Back to bed he goes. I love that he always has a backup book waiting closeby in the the wings. Current - Daja's Book Waiting - Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane, a great series for 3-6th graders (and um, me) written by the author of Hunger Games. Jack said I could include this picture as long as I didn't title it, "Sick Jack".
I took this picture of my crockpot, because I was going to be all "Yay, me! Dinner's in the crockpot", but instead the soup turned out to be WAY to labor intensive for soup (I mean, it's soup!) and not actually that good.
I crocheted together this Valentine's banner, and now I have to make another one. As in, I don't think I can stop myself.
Placated the sickies with some Tom and Jerry on the laptop.
I'm mobbed by adoring fans whenever I step outside.
Please wish me more sleep than last night!
