I've had a nasty cold/sinus infection for days. My head is starting to drain today, relieving some of the pressure, so hopefully I am on the mend. On a positive note, I've lost 5 pounds while sick, and my sweet hubby took the last couple of days off of work to help out. My five and six year olds have been doing a good job of entertaining themselves. Yesterday they cut out and colored pictures from their coloring  books quietly for six hours. They never have a problem playing on their own, I don't think they even understand the concept of boredom, but they usually play so loudly. So it was very nice that they found something to do which was quite while I was out of comission with an exploding head.

First thing this morning they asked if they could continue, and have  been at it  for over an hour.

Well, I think I'd better go lay back down.
