Joshua seemed better today, but was still sick. His breathing was still a bit labored and he had a fever around noon. However, once he had some medicine in him he did much better. He's been waking up quite a bit so far tonight, but doesn't need anything. (Or isn't even necessary awake.) Ben or I have often gone into his room only to be told, "I don't need you."
A few nights ago I went in and was told, "I don't need you. I need Isaac...to move out of the way. ...oh, it was just a dream."

Friday: fever
Joshua had a cough yesterday. It turned into a fever and labored breathing today. :( However, it hasn't turned into croup, so I'm hoping that he's gotten big enough to not get that anymore.
He was ok most of the day, especially with meds, but by about 5pm was done. He took a nap and when he woke up it took Ibprofin and Tyenol to get his fever under control. His breathing is still really shallow.
Isaac played outside for a bit today...in a T-shirt since it was 60 deg. Joshua really wanted to play, but in the end we mostly just watched. Isaac either rode a scooter down the driveway, caught the scooter at the end of the driveway that I started, or raced the scooter down the driveway.

Wednesday: yup
Today was Wednesday. Joshua and I went to story time and got groceries. The attendant at the self-check almost lost our order but then after 10 minutes (and two pony rides) they found it again. It may have been faster to rescan everything.
In the car today Joshua was talking about Grey Bear and how it's his birthday (again) today. Isaac said that he was going to do something special for Giraffe because "he has....she has...Giraffe has missed a lot of birthdays." It turns out the Giraffe's gender is rather nebulous and Isaac has decided to just not use pronouns. (However, Grey Bear is a boy, Elephant is a girl, and Red Monkey is probably a girl.)

Tuesday: semester "problems"
e-mail to student: "I'm available Monday, Tuesday or Thursday mornings" (with specific times given).
student: Can I come Wednesday?
-or-
student: What time are you available?
me: *copy and paste*
This has happened several times this semester, more than it has in the past.

Monday: snow day
Well, the streets were fine this morning. Rather as I expected, but sometimes it's hard to tell what the roads would be like in the country. The south side of Holland didn't close many of the schools, so maybe they closed based on whether or not they had extra snow days.
Isaac had a wonderful time with Ben in the morning, and a normal time with me. :) I emptied the mini figure house from all of the decorations that the boys had put on...including the clouds, lightning, cheese room, stairs, assorted couches, and assorted traps. The boys immediately started putting accessories back on the house. Isaac put in a bunch of stairs and Joshua put in two cookie rooms.

Sunday: ice
Today we decided not to go to church due to ice. It's not very far and the main roads might have been ok (they were later in the day), but we chose not to chance it.
In the middle of the day everything was slushy. We had a half inch of slush on the driveway.
At the end of the day all the schools were closed for tomorrow. Probably a smart move, although it's possible that it won't freeze and it'll still be slush tomorrow.

Saturday: wind
Today was windy. It was windy ALL day. The waves on our lake were the biggest we've seen them, and the (not full) water table just kept going back and forth on the deck.
There was a weird noise on the side of the house twice in the evening. Ben went to investigate and didn't see anything obvious. Then we went to look on the deck and it was just a sheet of ice.
