illness through the home...

It's been a busy few days... Made cupcakes (vanilla and chocolate) and froze two dozen. Decorated a few we left out with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.

Yesterday Hubby brought home some raspberries and beans brought by the office by a member of the congregation. So today I made some raspberry jam and washed and froze the beans. Then we had pancakes with new jam for supper.

The Boy was sick today. I knew something was wrong when he didn't finish his breakfast and all he wanted to do was lay on the couch. We went out and came back for lunch. He made it home before being sick, but he couldn't make it in the door. Felt much better after, though. Slept at nap time and wasn't sick again. Not quite his normal self, but a bit better.

Boy2 has started "reading" to his sister. He'll sit down with a book and actually recap the story, or make up what he feels is going on in the illustrations. It's pretty adorable. He's also started calling his brother by the first syllable of his name. Don't really know why, but it started right before we left and it doesn't seem like it'll go away anytime soon.

The Girl is still working on walking. She takes a couple of steps then she gets down and crawls. She did manage seven steps to Boy2 this afternoon, so she is getting more steady. I was convinced that she would be just motoring along on two legs by now since she was raring to get crawling, but she's proved me wrong so far. It won't be much longer, though.

Hubby hasn't been feeling well either. Monday night was pretty rough, and when he got home Tuesday he laid down on the futon and basically slept from 4:30 until morning. He got up to get into jammies and have a hot shower (the fever and chills were pretty bad), then he went right back to bed. It's been a bit better in the last couple of days, but again not quite back to normal yet.

Have a birthday next Friday. My baby turns five in 8 sleeps. Scary. Really scary. He's convinced that he's big enough to leave by himself or to watch the younger ones. Not happening, but it's neat to see how responsible he feels.
