Are Kids Ever Healthy!?

This has been the worst year for colds and flus at my house. We've made it through winter alive, but only just. I've been sick more days than I've been well.  I even lost my voice for a week, much to the delight of my husband. Miss Four took full advantage of it too. Miss Four has had so many days off pre-school that they're threatening to drop days. They don't get their funding for absent kids, I get that, but it seems pretty cold don't you think?

Try and smile for the camera kids! Ugh, nevermind..

Little Man (nearly 2) hasn't been quite as bad, but there's been a few sleepless nights of fevers. It got bad enough that we spent more that we could afford on ventilation to reduce the damp in the house, thinking that might be the culprit.  Needless to say when I woke up this morning with chest congestion and sick children, I was not surprised. I am beyond exasperated. Next year, I'm getting flu shots for all of us. I don't care who judges me for that, I am a believer in inoculation, and I'm not going through this again next year.

Mr. Kea has been sick once. For three days. Lucky bastard. Although it did feel like an eternity.
