Awe, winter. Never fails that come the cool weather, comes the flu. This last week we have been passing the flu around our family. Actually, the kids have been passing it around. Reece and Maddie both got the fever, achey stomach and headache and then finished it up with a cough. Thankfully, they both had it pretty mild. Sick enough to stay home from school, but not horribly ill were they just laid around and didn't want to move. Grace, being the true individual that she is, decided to forgo the fever and do the cough. Of course she didn't just get the mild cough like the other two, she is doing it whole heartily. She has a voice that sounds like a frog and red eyes that look like she has been crying. She has the junk in her throat that gags her and she has been throwing up. She has had the lack of energy and been much more sleepy. As you can tell by the picture, I've been finding her all over the house in odd places taking a snooze.
This evening, Grace threw up again (due to the cough) and Madison asked her if she was all right. Grace said, "Just pat my back."
Maddie was happy to oblige.

Oh, poor little thing. I hope she feels better soon. I love that picture. Isn't it funny where you find kids sleeping? We have a pic of Caleb sleeping right in the middle of the kitchen floor. I think they just tucker themselves out til they just can't go anymore. And of course being sick doesn't help. Get well soon Motsingers! :)
Poor little girl. I hate it when they are not feeling well... Breaks my heart. I love the picture. My kids never sleep anywhere other than their beds... And if they fall asleep in the car, the second the car stops, their eyes pop open.
Hope everyone's feeling better!
I love that picture Sarah!! CLASSIC!! Totally a scrapbooking page...speaking of...we need to. Maybe just a couple of us:)
p.s. Sorry about passing on the cold...I do think it was from us. Please don't hate me, *sigh*
