Hermits

For nearly 2 weeks Jacob and Isaac were sick. Neither one of them was sick the entire 2 weeks, of course. They took turns. Isaac had a nasty cough and fever and then Jacob got the stomach flu. So sad. :( For 2 days he slept/rested on the couch all day long.
Because everyone was so germ-ridden, we stayed at home so we didn't share the 'love'. At least during the time they were sick it was horribly rainy so we didn't feel like we were missing out on too much, but it is so nice to be able to see people again.

Some kids snuggle with stuffed animals for comfort, but Isaac prefers Thomas and Percy!


At one point they both wanted to rest on the kiddie couch. You can imagine how well that worked! So, I made up a little bed for Jacob made out of couch cushions and he thought that was pretty cool.


Look at those poor, sad eyes! Still has the trains too! He wouldn't put them down even though it was quite difficult to carry his cup of milk, one for Jacob and the trains!

While the boys were sick and lazing around, Alan decided to try his hand at making some homemade pasta. It was so good! He made a rustic sauce to go with it made with pork, onions, carrots, celery and tomatoes. Mmmmm.....I scarfed it down so quickly I didn't get a pic of the finished product.



Sad boy!

Still managed a smile even though he was sick.

Isaac was feeling a little better here - making the bunny dance

Kisses!

I am also glad that everyone was well by the time Christmas rolled around! Now we are hoping to stay germ-free for a long while!!
