You know your family's been sick for too long when...

... your toddler comes to you pretending to take her own temperature, saying a high pitched "beep beep, beep beep" to imitate the fever warning on the thermometer:


Nora is finally almost back to being herself after being sick (fevers, cough, severe congestion) for a full week.  Elsa got the bug next, and it lead to an ear infection Sunday night.  I got sick Saturday.  In an effort to keep Oliver from getting sick we've barely taken him out of the bedroom, we've turned off the air circulation in the house, the girls are not allowed in, and we sanitize our hands, change our clothes, and wear a mask when we go in to him.  Even with all that, he has started coughing, but thankfully the pediatrician thinks he just has a simple cold and not the full-blown yucky bug that we got.  Thankfully Joel has stayed well and has done a great job taking care of us all. 

Here's Nora from earlier in the week, poor kid. 


We've watched all the appropriate kid movies that we own several times over.  I think we're finally on the mend, and, if not, at least Nora knows how to take her own temperature now.
