Even though our family has escaped the worst of the flu stuff going around, we finally succumbed to the sniffles and coughs during the past week. I’m grateful to report that no one has gotten seriously or miserably ill. But we have gone through our share of tissues, and we’ve been coughing through our days.
It seems like we’re through the worst of it, and since everyone seems to be getting better rather than getting worse, I’m hopeful that we have dodged the bullet for now.

This next week we are off school as we enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. I’m really looking forward to the break. No doubt the children will enjoy it as much as I do. I’ve been pushing them for 15 weeks, so we’re all ready for a break.

In other news… I wish I could report that Lilly is fully potty trained and trustworthy, but she is still stumped at the idea of doing her poopy work IN the toilet. I know she’ll get it eventually, but it seems to be taking a long time.

Have a restful Sunday!
