We Almost Made It...

Through the winter without major pup illness...



But no...

Gillian was home for two days last week with a mystery something and Clare started complaining that she didn't feel well last Saturday. She has been living on the couch, not eating and barely drinking fluids since then.

Ellery, out of solidarity, left school early yesterday claiming illness. Since Elle has missed Hot Chocolate Day and a School Dance, I'm inclined to believe that she is also genuinely unwell. I am spending my time fluffing pillows and forcing juices down small gullets and not doing much knitting.

Since Clare has been coughing herself silly for 5 days now, I figured it was time to see the pediatrician (antibiotics and cough suppressant were her recommendations) and since we were in the neighbourhood, I stopped by Haley's Knitomatic to pick up some extra yarn for the baby blanket project. Clare, being under the weather and all, scored this:




Which would make a perfect convalescing hobby if only I could help her get started...oh well, I'll figure it out tonight while she is in bed and we'll try again tomorrow!

Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to putting all the sickies to bed tonight and sitting down with a cold "adult beverage" and my new fave snack food...





wasabi peas!

Completely delicious...crunchy, salty and a delightful horseradishy-burn that sears your sinuses! Now, if they were only calorie-free they'd be perfect!
