Sick girls...

My girls are sick.  Nothing too serious... a viral cold, no sore throat or ear infections or anything.  

Still... it makes you appreciate them being well.  

The last couple of days have been hard work.  My choices are 1. To keep the big girl up all day, when she is so obviously tired, or 2. Let her sleep through the day and have her not go to sleep until 9.30 at night.

The last few nights have been tiresome too... There have been more wake ups than usual, bad dreams and being upset at bed time... all fairly unusual in our house!  

For our big girls Birthday (which was last weekend), we gave her a voucher for 'A day out with Thomas' http://www.puffingbilly.com.au/news-events/day-out-with-thomas/ .  We were to go on Thomas tomorrow, but have postponed it for a week, so she will be feeling better and will get more out of it.  Disapointing for her, as we told her  on her birthday that we would be going on Thomas this weekend, but in the long run, the right thing to do.

Anyway, I think it will be a quiet weekend in this house, a lot of lounging round, reading, painting, baking and watching movies (our fav's at the moment... Toy Story, Curious George and Madeline!  

Wish me luck!
Have a lovely weekend!
