Green Face, Orange Socks

Our kids do sick pretty well. Max came down with a fever on Friday night, but got up Saturday feeling better and with plenty of energy, so Josh took him to the 4H Fair, where he got his face painted. He asked to be painted like a green goldfish with a black eye. A strange request to me, but then again, I am not 4. He was thrilled with the results.

Two days later, Lauren came down with a fever, and added some vomitting to the mix. Lucky us. While she felt pretty lousy most of the day, she had a sudden burst of energy at one point, and found her orange socks, which she put on herself, and then ran around showing them off. They went beautifully with her outfit. She did this for about 45 minutes and then went back to being miserable. However, she woke up the next morning feeling fine.

Me, on the other hand? I got sick on Wednesday night, was still running a fever by Saturday morning, and am still not fully recovered a week later. Oh to be young again.
