Sick and Bored

Last week we were busy. This week we are sick and bored. Well, the kids are sick and I am bored. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE to be at home, but after barely leaving the house for 2 days I start to go a bit stir crazy. Having to stay home all day kind of throws me off my schedule. I did can another 7 quarts of applesauce yesterday and had quite an adventure trying not to kill myself while picking apples. I did some pretty tricky climbing maneuvers. Elise would have been proud. Especially since I did not get stuck in the tree like she always does. I did scrape up my arms pretty nicely though. And, I only saw about 1 and 1/2 worms this time. They must have changed from their larval state into whatever creature they become, and crawled out. (Whew)

Here's a cute pic of the sick kiddos watching movies on the couch bed. Elise has missed 2 days of school so far. Emilia only missed 1. Ian came down with the sickness today and had a fever of almost 103. Maybe it is the swine flu. I am waiting to hear back from a friend of mine who has a kid in Elise's class. She took her son to the Dr. today and I think they were going to test him for the "evil" H1N1 virus. So far Adele has been spared and I haven't gotten it yet. Let's hope we won't get it.
