Cabin Fever

Except that I wish we were in a cabin in the mountains.

Really I guess we just have House Fever. And we're going stir crazy.

Today is the first day in 5 days that Eden hasn't run a fever. She's still coughing non-stop, but at least, for now, the fever is gone.
So we've been stuck inside A LOT the past few days. And the three of us have read all of the books, have played with every single toy, and have sat through Toy Story 3 more times than should be allowed.

They've been pretty good sports about helping me go through boxes and organize garage sale/dumpster stuff.

After exhausting our other options, we got a bit more creative.

Who needs sand, when you have rice?! Fortunately for us, we're moving to a place where rice isn't in short supply.

This was actually my awesome friend, Blythe's, suggestion. She's a kindergarten teacher, which means that she's all things brilliant when it comes to creativity. I've been trying to come up with creative ways to work with Eden on writing her letters. Eden thought it was cool writing A's in the rice.

And when all else fails we go back to the basement with the Jump-O-Lene!

Notice the reoccurring theme in these pictures?!  It's been 5 full days of jammies. Pathetic? Maybe.
Especially for 5 days.  But jammies pictures are so fun.

And is it not precious that they're holding hands in a couple of these?!
Maybe someday they'll look back on these and think that they were best friends and never, ever, fought.

Did I mentioned that we're going stir crazy?

Fun times! At least you've changed their jammies...seriously, some people might have left them in the same jammies. Hopefully she's on the mend now. But good luck with them looking back and thinking they were best friends and never fought. Let me know how that works out for ya...heehee.

Hope they're feeling better. Are they good sick kids? Isaac is awesome as he just likes to sleep and is kinda quiet when he's sick. Zay however is the whiney-est fussiest, refuses to eat or drink, sick kid ever. Hopefully they're both more like Isaac!
yay for Blythe and rice!
