Just look at who is feeling 100% better! Thank goodness.

This no contact thermometer has been a revelation around here. The girls -love- using it!

Grace and her beloved Super Why.

Poor Kate caught David's illness (or a similar new one, just think of the possibilities!). It was a very difficult day for all of us.

Suki's still feeling well, as is Grace, so they both went to school.

Kate spent the day on the couch, for the most part.

Grace comes along to see her balloon surprise in the car.

Suki shows off all of the M words in the marshmallows in her cocoa.

What beautiful work!

Suki and another lovely tower.

It's not so much Connect Four the way they play it, but it's a great way to practice turn taking and pattern making.

Chess lesson the second. Super blurry because I shot it from very far away.

Kate cuddles with David.

Heading downstairs to play.

Kate made this duck all by herself.

A blur of pink.

Suki makes her doughnut.

Our sweet little craft time this morning.

Peeking!

Lots of fun snipping, but not quite as much fun cleaning.

Grace's first chess lesson. She's been looking forward to it for a while and was so happy to play today.

Kate and the treasure chest.

Suki loves this math game.

The peanut buttered compadres.

Grace with her (still too big) cello. On to the next smallest size, the 1/8 cello. A very fun lesson, though.

Admiring her many many footprints.

David was feeling a bit better today, and the girls were so happy to have him around a little more.

They really enjoyed applying their many remedies for what ails him.

They do not always remember to be gentle with the hammer either, let me tell you.

Suki is getting to be fantastic at these towers.

Kate is getting much better at more difficult puzzles.

Hiding in their cave.

Jumping after school.

I could not capture Kate's amazing jump from the trunk, over the arm of the couch, and onto a cushion, it is mighty impressive.
