The Sickness Returns

The sickness has returned to the household of Peanut. He's upstairs right now watching Curious George, poor kid. He'll have bursts of energy, but then like we tried to feed him, and he crawled under the table and refused to eat. Finally convinced him that the party in his tummy needed some friends so he ate a bit of pasta.

But Curious George is keeping him still which is keeping his cough at bay. Hopefully a good night sleep will do him well.

---Sunday ---

Well, he's got a little more energy, but still sick. He stumbled into our room at 2AM burning up too. Fever's not as bad now, but we're still in for a quiet day today. He's going to go overboard on the Curious George though, I'll have to insist we watch something else.

Plus it's snowing out. Supposed to get another 5 inches tomorrow as well. But with him sick, it's not like we'll be heading out to the gym or anything. Mr Veggie will be home and he can run any errands we need. I'm thinking I'm going to make some cookies. Peanut still doesn't want to eat (he's been working on a piece of toast since early this morning and no dice) so maybe a nice protein rich cookie will help him out.

We got some bad news, our house is super drafty so we gathered the money to replace the windows and doors, however... the front door we were going to get is astronomically more expensive then estimated. The skylight side panel whatever next to it is an abnormal size so it would have to be special ordered. So we're going to scrap that. I don't know if we'll do the back door now or not, we'll talk to the contractor tomorrow I guess. The windows are almost completely done though, he's feathering out the drywall (or whatever, like I know what I'm talking about) and then we can finally get some curtains up. I've got old printer paper that's connected to each other hanging as stand in curtains for privacy/light control on a few of them, like the bedrooms. I'll be glad when that ugliness is gone though :)

Well, I guess as long as it's another TV/Movie day, I have no excuse not to clean. Also had no excuse not to finish this entry. TTFN!

Official Halloween Post!

We did a successful test run of trick or treating the night before. He got a card from his great grandma which included a treat. And he did the process smoothly, he seemed ready for a frigid Halloween!

He got all dressed up in his Train Engineer costume. I donned a quickly constructed ninja outfit, and Mr Veggie dressed as a disgruntled Brewer's fan. He was dressed fully down to snowpants to stay warm.

But, while he liked the candy, he wasn't a huge fan of all the strangers. He was very nervous about saying Trick or Treat or getting close enough to get the candy. Then when his face got cold... he was done. He sat down on the sidewalk and cried to go to 'Buddy's House.' So we headed back, thinking once he warmed up we'd go a bit more. But... he was much happier at home handing out candy and didn't want to head back out. He stood at the window, sucking a lollipop, and would run to the door and help hand it out when kids walked up the driveway.

Though he's still saying "No light, no candy there" at houses, which is adorable.
