A Bit Under the Weather

We've not been well at our house.  I only worked 1.5 days of last week due to illness.  We had Monday off for President's Day, which was fortunate.  Chase has a sinus infection, I had a cold and Owen has a bad cold, which could not be prescribed medication despite the cough, high fever (102.7) and runny nose.  Saturday was rough.  We had 3 movie parties in the bathroom while the shower ran and steamed up the room.  He has not slept well and has had high fevers in the night.  It's been tough to see him like this.  It also delayed a trip we were going to take to see my parents.  :(

Despite the illness we have had a really fun February.  At the beginning of the month we had nice warm weather and were able to play outside quite a bit.

 

We had a nice day-I think it was in the 30s-at the beginning of the month.  Chase played on the deck and wore my ISU hat. 

 

Since there was nice weather at the beginning of the month we spent some days outside after we got home for the day.  The boys love to drive their cars up and down the narrow space between snow drifts.  In the summer we call this space a side walk.

 

We've also had time to be construction workers.  All involved must wear a construction hat.  I believe I was wearing one as I took these pictures.

 

After being outside Owen's cheeks get a perfect red circle on them.

 

Chase likes to play with the baby's pacifier.

On Monday we had a big art project time.  It took place in our bathtub to contain the mess.  The boys put shaving cream mixed with glue on the hearts and then sprinkled them with glitter.  They had tons of fun and every part of the bathtub was covered in shaving cream.
