Home Schooling Summary for last week

The kiddos are mostly all over the flu/coughing sickness. We all went to the pediatrician on Monday and she said their lungs were clear and they had no secondary infections. Now I only hear an occasional dry cough from them and even the runny noses seem to have cleared with the saline sprays.  I, on the other hand, have been feeling awful STILL with a low fever (100.8), chills, fatigue and of course the yucky cough...  I have been taking a nap every day with baby S. Needless to say, not a lot of planned schooling has been happening, just reading books together, and in big sister A's case writing stories in her bare books.   

Thank goodness for the chicks! We take several field trips each day to visit them and observe their craziness.

 They are in the big coat closet (cleared of stuff) downstairs -- another of hubby's brilliant ideas.  I am very happy with the arrangement because we can keep their dust contained.

Daddy and the big kids went to Customer Appreciation Day at Brewsters Ice Cream. They had FREE waffle cones (huge) for everyone who showed up in their PJs.  That was no problem for our family since we have been wearing nothing but jammies for the last 2 weeks.

 Little brother S was not sure he liked daddy's pistachio.
