It's been awhile...

So, this is been the week of the sickies. Sadie's going on 5 days with a fever, Lucy was sick the beginning of the week. Poor girls... Sadie's been ready for bed by 6pm most nights, wakes up congested and throat sore. Lucy's come through the worst, only to find out that yes, she is allergic to eggs. It's surprising how little eggs is actually in stuff - not in bread, crackers etc.... The doctor equipped us with an epi pen to prepare for the worst (although he did say it's really not likely). Sadie went to art class with Jesse today - made a pig out of paper mache - lots of fun. Right up her alley - miss "craft-a-day" girl. Definitely her favourite activity. This week with her staying home it's been a bit of a challenge in those moments when she's feeling well to come up with interesting things to do... So we made a peacock & African scene with corrugated cardboard as a paint brush. Thank you Mister Maker. Sadie's sense of humour is really coming alive lately - especially when Jesse was in Bangladesh (don't know why?) My favourite line from her when he was away... Jesse emailed to tell Sadie about the children there... Sadie's response - I love the children in Africa and in Nova Scotia. I'm thinking Jesse's been away alot this year - a little bit of confusion on her part.

Tonight Jesse put down masking tape on the floor - remembering how much Sadie loved it when she was around 2. First a straight line she ran back and forth on. Then he crossed it with another piece of tape and she just kept pointing to it yelling "Star". Then ran around in circles. Then he made runway which she just ran down yelling wheeeee. Then she ran around in circles. Noticing a trend... Yelling & running around in circles. That's our Lucy.
