Sick

We've been struck down by sickness again!  Though this time it's not the stomach flu, thankfully.  Saturday Hailey woke up with a cough and shortly thereafter came down with fever which hovered around 102 degrees.  She's been sad and lethargic the last few days and her fever just finally broke this morning.  Here cough is terrible sounding. 

 Hailey fell asleep while Dave was reading to her.  Second time in her life she's fallen asleep on Dave....she's such an independent girl.

 It was so nice to see her spunk return today.  And it was excellent timing because Tyler came home from school yesterday complaining that her felt awful.  He did a little homework and then fell fast asleep on the couch. 

Tyler had a cough yesterday as well and fever by the time he took his nap. He woke this morning with a 103 degree fever and said he felt dizzy and horrible. He obviously stayed home from school.  The kids relaxed and watched some Tv this morning.  By 9ish Hailey was becoming more of herself and was being pretty funny.  She manged to coax a few laughs out of Tyler and after a little medicine and some time laughing with Hailey he came back to life for a while.

The kids made big muscles out of squishy balls.  We also did a "wizards brewing potion" that both kids really liked.  Basically the same as the volcano eruption but there was food color and glitter involved :).  It was fun to watch through the clear glass jar.

love the look on Tyler's face

We also did some reading and math and the kids played around on the computer.  By 3ish, Tyler was starting to slow down again.  He fell asleep in the bath.....not to worry, I was right there watching and then took a nap after he was dried off.  I woke him after about an hour because last night (after the afternoon nap) he could fall asleep.  He basically spent the rest of the evening drifting in and out, laying around being miserable.  Hi temp was back to 103 and finally I let him go to sleep for good about 6:30.  I'm hoping his fever will be gone in the morning.  Next we have to fight these nasty sounding coughs!
