Quiet Days

What a mama to do when she finally starts feeling better (after weeks of illness - weeks!), only to have her babes come down with it, too?  Liam got it, then Brian.  I hoped the girls had given it a miss, only to wake last night to poor Gwenyth's tears.  Fever, earache, cough...  poor little thing. 

 

So, today was another quiet day.  After so many, even I start to feel restless, so what to do?

 

 

 

Snuggle up under soft blankets,

 

 

Mix up a Pineapple Upside Down Cake,

 

 

 

Sneak outside for a brisk half hour of sawing freshly pruned apple branches,

 

 

Prepare a fresh batch of homemade yogurt,

 

 

Watch Liam be the only person on the entire planet glad to see snow swirling in the air,

 

 

Sew a sick little girl a Feel Better Zippered Pouch (to match her spring coat-in progress).

 

All in all, the day passed fairly peacefully, and yet I still feel productive.  Let's hope this is the last of the nasty germs for a while!

I'm sorry everybody is so ill. We went through a several week nightmare with all the kids horribly ill a little while ago. Glad you are doing ok. What a pretty zippered pouch, I love the fabric.

Hope all the little ones feel better soon. Lovely fabric on the pouch. I haven't conquered zippers yet :)

I believe there is nothing that Pineapple Upside Down Cake won't fix!
I hope your family is all well again real soon!

Oh, I know how you're feeling - we are just coming out on the other side of that - I think we lost the better part of March to illness.

Love the little pouch - I never have gotten the hang of zippers!
