Sicky Sick

Ethan and Jane stayed home sick from school today.  It started yesterday afternoon, when Ethan had me pick him up early from running club because he wasn't feeling well, and then Jane woke up this morning with a fever and scratchy throat, too.  I think they both have what Sophie had last weekend, and what I think THAT is, is croup.  Which isn't a huge deal for Ethan, but for poor little asthmatic Jane, it's taken a turn for the terrible this evening.

{She is burning up and her breathing is sounding pretty bad.  Thankfully, she's finally fallen asleep for the night while doing a breathing treatment, but she was sounding bad enough that I'm concerned a hospital trip might be in the cards before the weekend is over.  Poor little Janie Boo.}

In an effort to end on a light-hearted note, though, I'll leave you with a picture of Ethan's latest project that he came up with during his sick day at home...

{Can't tell what that is?  Hahahaha.  Well, it's his iPod, of course.  Set up to take time-release pictures of our street all night long.  He set it up this afternoon, and made sure he plugged it in while taping so that the battery doesn't go dead.  I'm sure the footage tomorrow will be FASCINATING.  Hahaha.} 

Wish us luck for the rest of the weekend!
