Sick day

Unfortunately Mary still had a fever today so she stayed home from school. She'll be home again tomorrow because her temperature was 103 at bedtime.

Mary to my right...

 

...and Rosie to my left.

 

Caught in the act!

 

A bedtime story. Mary could hardly keep her eyes open at 7:30, and that was after taking a nap.

A picture with Santa from our visit to IKEA this weekend. This was the best shot.

Weekend at home

We spent a lot of time at home this weekend because Mary's had a fever. No other symptoms, luckily.

 

Some after school snuggling on Friday, before the illness arrived. 

 

Getting ready to give Rosie a bath.

 

Relaxing in her tub.

 

Chef Mary.

At home

Mary was home sick today so we did lots of activities.

 

Trying out the Bumbo seat.

 

Rosie got tired quickly so it's not quite time yet.

 

Coloring!

 

Using some of Mama's old make up. How is she interested in this stuff already?

 

A sink full of water, bubbles, and cups are more entertaining than I would have guessed.

Going to the theatre

 

Mary loved Dýrin í Hálsaskógi! When intermission began she said "Can I watch it again?" 

 

Still holding tight to her ticket after the show.

 

Practicing her snow angel for the winter.

 

Sonja wanted to be part of the fun too.

 

Hanging out after school.

 

"Mama, this bandaid is for you. It has lots of princesses on it."

Elmo

 

"This is how Elmo claps."

 

Rosie is addicted to checking the financial news.

 

Snuggly.

New school pictures

 

Fun with balls.

 

So cozy.

 

 

Looks like Mary's a pro at the army crawl.

  

Making manual labor look like fun.

 

Ready for a walk.

 

I'm guessing Mary is reading the recipe for her friends.

Various activities

 

Eating the apple with the peel on it. Hopefully this sticks and I don't have to peel apples any more!

 

Reading to Rosie.

 

Precious time with Pabbi's guitar.

 

That double chin isn't disappearing any time soon.

 

Trying SO hard to touch the toys.

 

Swinging on a chilly day.

 

"The grass is vanilla, Mama."

 

"Be a horsey, Pabbi!"
