• My Anderson went to bed last night with a headache and fever. I had him drink some tylenol and he was none to happy about it at all. He worked himself up so that he could barely drink it. He went on and on about how bad it was. Now this morning, I felt him and thought that he might be a bit warm. He assured me that he was fine and did not need any medicine. I told him that if he started to feel bad then I would give him some again. Every time I have seen Anderson today, he has made sure to tell me or show me how well he feels. Though tonight, he said that he had a sore, itchy throat. I am sure that he is getting a cold but hopefully it will be short lived.
• Everyone, but Keaton, was awake this morning when I woke up. They were all going strong and I was surely was not. Campbell asked me to make her a fried egg and since I had told her that we would today, I dutifully stumbled to the stove. I thought she just wanted one and pulled out my little skillet-after making her 2, Graham 2, Reagan 2 and Keaton 1 I realized that I should have pulled out the griddle and could have been finished in a fraction of the time.
• We did our bit of school and even had a tiny bit of work together this morning and then it was sew time. Keaton, Campbell and Reagan all helped me sew some of the parts of Keaton's bag. They all did well but I did have to sew a few things myself. After working for about an hour and a half, I stopped for lunch. After lunch, Reagan quit helping and Campbell and Keaton played a game with Anderson and I finished the bag. It looks pretty cute-it isn't perfect but it is cute.  We will change a few things with Campbell and Reagan's bags but hopefully we can work on them some next week.
• This was a fairly lazy afternoon. Nonna and Pops did stop by to work on Pops' new watch. Then I took a shower and soon it was time to head to Grannymom's house to celebrate Lilly's birthday. There were Chick-Fil-A nuggets there and then kids devoured a whole tray of them. We had Oreo delight for dessert and the kids played cards until we headed home.
• On the way home, we headed to the Wilson's house for a bit. We stayed until Whitman fell asleep and my eyes were killing me (I think I wore my contacts for a few too many days). Once at home, we put Whitman in bed, gave Anderson some meds (not Tylenol so he was happy) and passed out a bite of ice cream!
