Sick and Tired of Being Sick

Sydney is on her fifth day of being very sick. Today she was shivering uncontrollably for 10 minutes or more and then broke out sweating from the fever. She has been fighting fever off and on, and now Axle and Atticus have the bug, too. Axle has a croupy cough and Atticus complains that his forehead hurts. My poor kids. We're hoping Colin will resist it since he had the flu a few months ago. I have been lucky to stay healthy most every time my family gets sick. Maybe the Lord realizes that I have to take care of everyone else! Looks like everyone gets out of fasting and going to church tomorrow. I doubt I'll hear any complaints about that, though! Except from Atticus, who loves his class and his teacher. Axle likes to "play toys" too.

Afternoon Splash

There is a drain on our street that doesn't exactly drain. After a big rain storm we get a big flood! This day, the sun came out before the water went anywhere and everyone came out to play. Parents would do numerous drive-by sprayings and the kids all screamed with delight. That is Atticus riding his bike through the deepest part. Needless to say, he and Axle went straight to the bathtub after the fun!
