But I guess I am getting over being sick, so maybe it makes sense.
The boys also got some Lego belts. Isaac wanted me to tell you that his seven spikes.

Saturday: sleeping in
Today Ben came into the bedroom at 11:15am. I woke up for the morning and was crazy surprised that I slept the whole morning. Usually I wake up and go back to sleep several times throughout the morning, and then by 10ish I'm up. This morning I only heard Ben get up and Joshua cry once.

Friday: snow day
Isaac had a snow day today! There wasn't a ton of snow, but maybe it was really cold?
Anyway, I was rather glad about it because 1) I don't have to work Fridays and 2) Isaac could help entertain Joshua while I wasn't feeling good. It turns out that I'm definitely on the mend. I was still more tired than normal, but no fever and found myself doing things instead of just sitting. That tends to be my clue on how well I'm actually doing...if I just can't make myself move I'm usually sick.
Anyway, snow days are good for running around boxes.
I played Duplos for the first time in a while. We watched "Cars" since it matches the puzzle we are currently putting together. After that I snow blowed. Luckily, Ben had discovered that the augur was a chunk of ice before leaving for work, so I had a space heater thaw it during the morning. That wet snow from a few days ago had come back to haunt us. Anyway, by the time I had finished that and done some computer work "rest" time was almost done for the boys. I decided to take a nap anyway, since they still had their screen time to go. Well, they continued to play together for the next two hours. I took my nap and read some of my book before I heard the voices start to get frustrated and so I came out and we had ice cream.
After screen time we had a brief clean up time since during their three hours of playing together they put enough toys in all the walk ways that it was pretty much impossible to walk anywhere without stepping on something. The cats had tipped over their treats, so they had to help during clean up time too.
Yay for snow!! There is a bunch more in the forecast and it looks like there will easily be one or two more snow days next week. :D

Thursday: sick
Well, after an ok morning the fever came back and I was glad that I had canceled classes. The cats enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels in the morning as I finished grading some labs.
On the upside though, it turns out I'm not pregnant or nursing and so I can have some of the good medicine. (It was so long that I couldn't have "good" meds that I don't always remember that I can have them.) The DayQuil works pretty well...well enough that I could move kids around and get home before feeling sick again.

Wednesday: well, I made it
Ugh. Well, I made it through the day.
The morning wasn't too bad, although Isaac had an annoying two-hour delay. I had some meetings at work and so couldn't just stay home, so Isaac came with me. He did fine, but bringing him back to school ate up a half hour of my precious grading time.
I picked up Joshua and we did a quick stop at the fabric store. We were supposed to go to the grocery store too, but I only had one errand in me.
I felt rather rotten at home, but luckily Joshua was happy to work on the puzzle we have out for a while. After I woke up from my nap I had a fever. Not too high, but still there. So due to illness coupled with the fact that I can barely talk I canceled my classes for tomorrow. I felt weird doing that, but there is an extra Tuesday/Thursday in the spring semester and so I have the time. It just means that the day before spring break will be an actual learning day instead of a 'come for extra credit' day.
Oh, I also snow-blowed the driveway. Neither the snow blower nor I was happy about it though. I just didn't want to be doing it, and the snow was very wet and very heavy and so the snow blower complained too. The plow had come through though, and I really, really didn't want it to freeze at the end of the driveway. We need to wait until the end of winter to get a big bump there.

Tuesday: sick
I went to bed with a headache last night. I woke up feeling pretty good this morning, and throughout the day felt worse and worse. The cough plus headache is what really did me in.
I came home, took some medicine and a rest. (Not a nap because I kept coughing.) I felt better after that.

Monday: Puppy
Last time we were in PetSmart, Joshua told me that he looked like this puppy. (It is pretty in much in line with other times. Usually though there are two dogs and the smaller one looks more like him and the bigger one looks more like Isaac. This seemed so definite..."This is what I look like.")
So that you can tell how similar they appear...

Sunday: a pretty normal day
We had a pretty normal day today. Ben was under the weather with this cold that won't go away. I snow-blowed the driveway for the first time this season. We went to church. The boys made another fort and are sleeping under it. Sometimes I wonder why we bothered finding a house so that they could each have a bedroom. For that matter, why did we even get them beds? They seem to like the sleeping bags better. (I know, I know. It's special because we don't always let them do it. But still...)
