Week In Review

Cora had a four-day weekend because of two holidays honoring President Lincoln and President Washington.

Because Violet had preschool on Friday, Cora and I had a morning date; time alone with her is always so special. She picked out a carrot bundt cake, in honor of her birthday. We ate it near the mall play area, and she then played a bit before we did a little shopping.

 We then picked up Violet, who had enjoyed a Valentine's party and card exchange.

 While at the mall, we looked at bedding for Cora's room. We didn't find any, but on Monday evening we found a perfect quilt for her at Homegoods.

The cats like it too, thankfully.













Little did we know when Cora's long weekend started, that her break from school would extend a full week.

On Sunday, she caught the sickness that Violet and Stace battled for weeks, and maintained a low fever off and on for days. It was just high enough to ensure she couldn't return to school. She also was coughing a lot.

We went to the doctor on Thursday, and the illness had turned into a sinus infection. He prescribed her an antibiotic, so hopefully she'll be back to herself soon.

In the meantime, she's been reading for hours on end, watching the children's program "What's In The Bible" with Violet online, and playing Calico Critters.
