So, this past week has been very, very long. I and both kids were sick all week. And it didn't help that the weather was horrible. It actually all started off in O'fallon, IL. Last weekend we went to visit Jason's dad and his wife for the weekend. We fully intended to go to a hot air balloon race. The weather didn't cooperate and I and Molly were sick. So we didn't get to go, but to make it up to Jackson, we took him to a fun playground. He's easily amused. While we were there, a wedding party was having their photo's taken at a near by pond. Shortly after they finished, we decided it was a great backdrop for photo's and took a few ourselves. We still managed to have loads of fun over the weekend. By the time we came home on Monday, however, Jackson had joined me and Molly in our illness. And so our long week began.
So, what do you do when you can't leave the house, and you don't have the energy to entertain your kids all day? You break out the finger paint! (I voted against letting Molly finger paint this time). As you can see, it was a fun and wonderful mess! Jackson loved it and I managed to keep my sanity despite the mess I had to clean up. He has finger painted before, but never quite like this. It was EVERYWHERE! In the end, Jason got me a big towel and I wrapped Jackson up and carried him upstairs to the bathtub. Would I do this again? Most definitely!
So, now it's Monday afternoon. The sun is almost shining and it finally isn't raining! Jackson has his voice back (he had lost it for about three whole days!), our coughs are beginning to lessen, but we're all still a little worn out. Especially Molly. :)
