Ready for Recital…almost

Was a busy day here getting ready for recital. Getting cleaned up and dressed up just a bit.

Finding our music and heading off.

We listened to 10 or so little kids and next up was Lil’B

I thought he’d be okay but then the last second he balked.

And Lil’B just couldn’t play tonight. He’s the type of little boy that is either going to play or not. And tonight was a “not” night.

Jr. on the other hand is getting to be a seasoned little player with this his 4th recital. He played lovely.

Lil’B played his piece at home quite lovely too. Maybe next time…that’s what we said when he was *so* upset. It’s okay. Maybe next time.

In other news it is now windy, windy, windy and COLD. Where did that come from? Or rather that’s what I get for not watching the weather!

Things to do when the kids are sick.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

The boys are asleep and comfortable! I’m not asleep and instead thought I would take a moment to review what we’ve been keeping busy with while not feeling so well.

1. Planet Earth the Series from BBC


2. Mission Mars on Nova

  • Jet Propulsion Labs would be a cool place to work.
  • Salt can tell us a lot.


3. The Blue Planet Tides

  • Man I wish I would have found this episode when we were reading Pagoo!

No much time to post

We are under assault here! And the weapons are the germ kind. That’s right someone brought home a cold bomb and it is currently working its way through our family. Lil’B is down for the count and has a nagging cough that is taking us to the doctor to try to get him a bit of relief. Jr. is starting to cough today. I’m tired from all interruptions of the night what with checking temps, wiping noses, making tea and….you know the regular mom stuff. Tis very glamorous no? I’ve declared us a “sick house” and as Lil’B said all day yesterday he’s a sicky little boy.

I’ve read lots of interesting things. I’ve popped around to see my usual bloggy haunts! I’m even finding a moment to compose a thought or two in my head HA HA HA HA

I’m not forgetting my graces but I’m also not finding much time to write them down but here is a sampling of my thoughts from the last few days. So we’ll call this list 61 and 62!!

1. tissues in every room

2. the snuggly feel better affect of a mom

3. tea and honey

4. a gift box from Uncle K. on a “I feel awful” day for Lil’B – Jr felt fine but was also thrilled beyond bits!

5. chicken soup

6. a husband home to carry the not quite awake 4 yr to the potty in the early am hours

7. a puppy who is big enough to handle being not being taken outside for a lot longer without having an accident in the house

8. naps

9. new dvd well new to us anyway :)

10. homeschooling – being able to be sick and not worry about the “missed school”

I’ll be sporadic while this latest batch of germs works its way through our house!!
