Sick Day

We have had the worst luck with sickness this year. Last year nobody was sick really the whole year. This year, someone always is. This past weekend the boys all had horrible coughs. Nobody really slept on Saturday night and I woke up with a sore throat. McKay was miserable as he is still cutting that cursed molar and he was also sick. So, the whole family except Josh ended up staying home from church.
One hard thing about that is that it means that the kids are all home bored for a whole day. As I was feeling miserable, I wasn't too keen on a million projects. They ended up making a fort out of our kitchen chairs and some blankets (this structure is up in my living room a lot). Then they asked if they could watch a Netflix movie on my computer with popcorn.

It is funny, but once upon a time I would have vetoed this idea as all I could see was a big mess for me to clean up later. Well, times have changed. I saw this as 2 whole hours that they would be occupied. So they watch some Scooby Doo ditty and had a great time.
It wasn't as relaxing as I thought however as Mckay would go up and start hitting the computer and turn the movie off. I spent the whole two hours trying to keep McKay out of their way. I seriously thought I was going to get a nap. Oh well. It was a fun memory.  Oh and when it was all over the boys cleaned up the fort and popcorn mess.  I was pretty impressed.
