100th Day of School Flu!

Today is the 100th Day of 1st Grade! Jeremy has the flu and is missing the celebration at school that he has been looking forward to for weeks! Looks like his friends at school are having a good time....
All the first graders were to make a shirt with 100 of something on it. Jeremy's shirt theme is, "I've got my eyes on you!" This is what 100 googly eyes on a shirt look like!
I thought we would work on some homework today and do a special 100 Day of School Project. 100 FrootLoops Necklace. I even made a special sign that says, "Happy 100th Day of School!" and put it on the table by his work....you can see from the picture above how he felt about my plans to make the day special even though he was stuck at home.

I made the FrootLoop Necklace and Jeremy hung out under the table as I dangled it over his face....There's that smile that I have been missing!!!

Next he got to play on Poptropica on my computer for a little bit while I ate my lunch. He did a few math games...see how I snuck in some learning....then he was able to play whatever it is that he likes to play on Poptorpica for a little bit.

That was enough for this poor sick guy....now him and all his 100 eyes are hanging out on the couch watching TV and I'm trying to figure out what I can give him that he will eat....he doesn't want to eat anything at all. We are sad that the flu brought him down this week but are glad that he will be all better in time for the next much awaited school event...Valentine's Day!

Poor Sick Guy!



Jeremy's been home for a few days with a fever...today, we decided it was time to go in to the doctor...he has a flu bug. Monday and Tuesday he was his same old self as long as he had Motrin. Playing and being crazy....today it has finally hit him...sleeping is what he wants to do. I'm glad he is finally giving into the sickness and sleeping...rest is the best medicine!!!

Snow Day #2

Jeremy is king of our snow mountain in front of our house!

Fun to climb!

We call this the Maddie Canal....it was dug so that she could get to the area back by that tree to go to the bathroom....the snow is well over her head!!!

I fun little cave just the right size for Jeremy and his dogs!!

Going in..... He can even sit up in the igloo and it is much warmer in there than outside!

Fun in the snow day!





There is so much I could have done on a snow day....laundry, paint my walls, clean my mess of a house...etc. Instead we played in the snow....GLORIOUS SNOW!!! It was THE.BEST.DAY.EVER!!!!

Happy Groundhog Day!





I think it is safe to say that the Groundhog in Woodstock would not have seen his shadow today which means we should have an early spring....hard to believe when you wake up to a top 5 blizzard of all time in Chicago with more snow on its way! HAPPY SNOW DAY!!! Now if we could just go out and play in it....but 50mph winds...not so much fun!
