A computer glitch prevented me from blogging last night – sorry about that! It wasn’t going to be a very exciting post anyway…just more germs to report. Becky is now on her sixth day of tummy troubles (which the pediatrician’s office assures me is normal for this virus), but thankfully she’s been in better spirits in the afternoons and evenings. She did so well tonight, and I was so invigorated by the warm, nearly-spring weather, that I took the girls out to the park for the first time this year. We were all so grateful to get out of this germy house!
The girls still haven’t quite grasped that the season change should be accompanied by a wardrobe change, so they insisted on wearing their woolen winter hats outside. And I still haven’t quite grasped that warmer temperatures lead to melting snow which leads to soggy ground, so I neglected to insist that the girls wear their boots outside.
The end result? A gloriously muddy mess.
Yes, the girls’ shoes are all but submerged in slime in the above picture. The girls were so thrilled with their stomping grounds that I didn’t have the heart to stop them. I guess that’s what a week of indoor nursing does to me – it turns my judgment into one big mud puddle!
Glad to hear you all are in better spirits. Your weather today was warmer than ours in CA!!
