Cabin Fever

Losing our sanity!!

Professor B. Nicholas from Building School

We're losing it around here between Niko's bout of pneumonia (we're on day 12 of him being sick) and the 48 hours of rain we just endured. Nicholas really isn't supposed to be outside much, even if the weather is decent, b/c it just gets him coughing, but he's feeling so much better and has so much energy built up that he needs to burn off......it's a vicious combination. Add to that, Lenn's working today. Yuck. So, we're doing our best to all get along, to not catch Niko's germs and to keep the bickering to a minimum (Mommy included!). I'm praying that this bout of Nicholas is it for the fall/winter......if we could have it out of the way, wouldn't that be wonderful?

We're trying to come up with creative things to do to pass the time. One of our favorite play ideas is "Pretty School".......that's what Ella calls preschool so we play preschool a lot around here. Yesterday, Nicholas created, initiated, directed Building School and he was Professor B. Nicholas......the "B." stands for Builder, he said.
