The past two weeks we have been fighting a wicked virus. Fighting hard, but as of today, I think we have beat it! Zane is/was the last hold out, but today he has no fever. A cough still persists (the kind that makes you cringe upon hearing the sound) and runny noses seem to be hanging on, but fevers, they are gone and happiness has been restored!
As one can imagine the amount of activities during our two week period of sickness, are minimal. The children missed a week of school, then used Spring Break as a recuperation period. We watched a LOT of TV, but they needed it. They needed to just chill out and work on fighting the virus. In truth, I think they kept passing it back and forth. One would get better then two days later their temperature would be back up, rosy cheeks, and glazed eyes would take over smiles and giggles. I guess this is the norm with a house sporting multiple young ones.
It was more than welcomed in our house and we look forward to many more days of warm weather and outdoor fun!
A treat came to visit this weekend. Uncle Alex had some hockey try outs about an hour away and stayed with us. The children were ecstatic. They played with "Unkie" and wore him out! It brings such a smile to my face when they jump on his back and thoroughly enjoy every moment spent with him. 
Alex was a great sport and let Noelle do his hair and put makeup on him! I can say, that Tom has never allowed the application of makeup on him, so this was very exciting for Noelle! 
Today, Sunday, reached just over eighty degrees! We enjoyed the weather and spent a lot of time outside, playing, riding bikes, eating ice cream. Typical actions of a family ready for some warmer weather to stick around!

I'm so pleased to see smiles on your children's faces rather than a look of misery. You mentioned Tom never let Noelle put make up on him, but what about doing his hair. Oh yeah, I forgot. Tom doesn't have any. So glad everyone is better!
