The long week

Luke started running a fever Monday morning, and it didn't go away until Thursday afternoon (after a trip to the doctor), so we stayed at home (and inside alot) for most of the week. We even pretty much chilled on Friday, since Luke was still not 100% by then. Cole had a dentist appointment Thursday morning (Luke was with Chris), so I was actually kinda looking forward to it by the time it came around - a reason to get out of the house!

I struggled with things to keep the kids busy (not used to having Cole home, too, and being at home all the time!). Here we made a "city", complete with roads, grass, a pond, buildings, etc. I forgot to take a picture of the completed project, so it's still a work-in-progress in these pictures. The kids had fun with it, and now Ansley has claimed it has her own for her Matchbox cars.

We had a picnic later that day - had to take advantage of the times Luke was feeling ok (when he had the Motrin in him!).
