Chicken Pox Fun

Well, here we are on about Day 5 of chicken pox. Thomas and Abby are feeling better today, but are still happier in their pjs. I thought Carrie's spots were drying up but she broke out heavily yesterday and has a low-grade fever this afternoon and is pretty miserable. Poor thing! Still using the calamine, benedryl, and oatmeal baths.

My husband and I went out of town to a meeting over Friday night. Katie helped Thomas put up his new tent and she and Abby slept in it overnight with him. She bought "smarshmallows" (Ab's word), chocolate, and graham crackers for S'mores - what a great sister! And they've had plenty of junk food from our friend who always brings "supplies" when the kids are sick.

Thanks to Netflix, we've had a Magic Schoolhouse DVD to go with The Salamander Room, a new-to-us Veggie Tales movie, and Doby Dick (Moby Dick, Abby style) with one of our favs, Gregory Peck. I picked up a big stack of library books when I was out on Friday, including a Where's Waldo and an I Spy, which are big hits at our house. And there's been plenty of Gilligan's Island and Brady Bunch from here.

Perhaps everyone will feel better by Tuesday!
