Yesterday we stayed in all day because we got about six inches of snow and the roads weren't great. We watched movies and ate popcorn and played board games.
Last night Rachel was up at 4:00 AM not feeling good. Fever, cough, chills, headache.... So she and I stayed home from church while Rebecca and Daddy braved the roads (it was snowing again and the roads were not that great again) and went. Rachel and I watched the movie, "Akeelah and the Bee," about the National Spelling Bee. Rachel decided she wants a dictionary so she can spell that well.
She felt better for awhile, but then the medicine wore off and she was down again. Next we watched "Pollyanna." Now she's feeling better again and the TV is off until the medicine wears off again. I'm completely movied out!
We had talked about taking the kids sledding today....the last day before the bottom falls out of the temperatures, but obviously that couldn't happen, since she's sick.
Everyone's expecting there to be no school for at least the next two days because of the temperatures, and this time I hope that's the case, because then Rachel wouldn't miss any school because of sickness.
I'm ready for spring!!
Speaking of spring, this greeted me when I came downstairs yesterday morning, while the snow fell hard outside.
One of my students gave me this for Christmas. It was just a bulb in the glass container. We've watched it grow and grow for the last month, and could tell it was ready to bloom soon. The girls were thrilled to see it had opened up yesterday. So we have a tiny piece of spring on our kitchen table.
