Marie has been home "sick." She is right on the line between too sick for school and too healthy for home. A sporadic fever, hoarse voice and smoker cough has convinced us to keep her home for the past 2 days. That and the knowledge that her teacher missed several days last week with similar symptoms. So, she and Momma have had some time together at home, which has suited me just fine. Writing sub plans is never fun but we are standardized testing this week so I haven't had to do too much in that regard. Yesterday we both plopped on the couch and did our respective work. At one point, we both had a laptop in front of us (of course, I was chatting with friends online instead of working. Oops).
Marie also decided she wanted to make pretend, flavorful eggs, her words not mine. She went back and forth from the sink to the stove half a dozen times, getting water. Marie still rarely amuses herself at home so this was fun to see. To be fair, she is home in the afternoon after a day at school or a weekend; these aren't times to play on your own that much anyways. But, still, it was fun to watch.
We took time to write her egg recipe down: water, cinnamon, salt, parsley, celery salt, white pepper and black pepper. After mixing it together for a while, she went and go out tupperware, poured it in and put it in the fridge for me to eat later. There are currently 3 LARGE containers of this special brew in my fridge. I plan to "eat" it after she goes to bed.
Today, she played "making eggs" again. This time she added red jello to the mix, so there would be some "go-matoes" with eggs. Looks yummy, huh? Needless to say, we are now out of cinnamon.

Ty didn't get to stay home but when he got home, he decided he wanted a turn in the kitchen. Sink time!
Needless to say, after all the cooking, Marie is feeling well enough now to go back to school tomorrow. Really a shame as I could use another day at home. I managed to get some vacuuming done, cleaned the kids rooms, washed some rugs...wonder if Ty has a fever???
