Cold News

We don't have much to report here. The kids are both sick with colds and Lillian has a fever. I don't enjoy them being sick, but the extra snuggle time is wonderful. The stopped up noses make for very cute sounding wordage from them.
Grayson: Mama, my sick. My watch a moooooovie.
In a way, it is nice to have to stay home for a few days and not jump up to get somewhere. I worked, today, but plan a lazy day in my pajamas with them tomorrow.

I have been spending most of my free time sewing. I just finished my first quilt. It is a Christmas present for Lillian. See photos of the process on my flickr pics. I have made several bags and just finished a purse. I am really enjoying the creative outlet. I have just started to turn out things that I am mostly pleased with in the end. I keep asking Peter if he wants a man bag for Christmas. I suggested camo. He doesn't. I guess I'll have to learn to make boxers or something. Those seem hard. Well, I am worn out and am headed to my flannel sheets and electric blanket. They are two of the few things I like about cold weather.

If you can make that awesome blanket, you can make boxers. They one of the easiest clothes to make. Cardinals boxers would make a great christmas stocking. :)

I got an email today that when a child is coughing, put Vicks on the bottom of their feet and cuddle
