After two (2) years of thinking we just might possibly be immune to COVID, it finally got us. It all started two (2) weeks ago with Lord Begley. He was feverish and chilled and overall pretty miserable for about two (2) days.  Fast forward one (1) week - I get congested and snotty, hoarse and body aches.  Totally different symptoms, but yep - Covid. Fast forward one (1) more week and Sam comes home with body aches; body aches so bad that he is crying.  Covid.  Could it not have been possible for us all to get it together???

Try has he might, and despite this variant's extremely contagious nature, Finn can't seem to contract Covid.  Despite his constant complaining of vague and unrelated pains, Finn has exhibited no symptoms and has successfully passed three (3) Covid tests.  He finally admitted to me on the way to school the other day that he got in bed with me while I was sick in the hopes of "catching Covid" so that he could stay home from school.  Finn informed me that he likes school, in general, but doesn't like that he can't decide when he needs a "home day."  Will is doing fine. 

This is Covid looks like for Sam.

Just kidding, he feels pretty good.  Here he is enjoying lunch and YouTube in bed.

We played games in my closet.  Memory, Candy Land and Face-Off.

Since he was well enough to play games, he was well enough to do school work.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl tights to wear under his costume

High Ankle Sprain

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

Spirit Week Day 4 - Board Game day

Day 4 of Spirit Week was really difficult.  The kids were to dress as their favorite board game.  Hurdle #1: Finn doesn't play board games.  Hurdle # 2:  How in the world do you dress up like a board game?  This was one difficult.  Since Finn doesn't play board games I had to think back to when I was child and go from there.  I finally came to "Checkers" - so I spent the night before cutting out red and black paper circles.  It actually ended up looking more like "Connect Four" but Finn hasn't ever heard of "Connect Four" we stuck with "Checkers." Gran picked Finn up from school again today and took him to the library.  Before going to the library they stopped at the house to pick up his library books.  Finn only had two (2) of his checkers still stuck to his shirt.  I found out today that Finn got a bloody nose after getting pegged in the face with a ball and that he didn't get a star today because he didn't follow dir
