I have been ill for the past four days with a terribly nasty cold. Thankfully hubby took over and I have been able to rest. Tylenol and cough drops, how would I ever survive this without you?! My hangout for the past four day......(yes, sweets are part of the recovery process :o))

When Peachy is practicing the piano Chicky always grabs a chair and sits next to him to "practice" too . Peachy is quite patient with all this and says he does not mind since the high notes that Chicky practices on are not very loud. Thank goodness for patient older brothers!

Peachy and Jay are close and love each other very much. Today Peachy was not feeling well (fever and stuffy nose) so Jay quickly got to work next to the bed where Peachy lay.

After much cutting he presented Peachy with a bookmark in the shape of a heart and other such paper presents.

He also made Peachy a funny paper hat to wear in bed.

He simply stated, when asked, that he made the presents so his brother could feel better.

Oh to have the heart of a child....

Chicky loves to sit with an old workbook and pencil to "do lessons" like a big boy. It is quite endearing to watch.

Turn off video games and the like and watch the creative juices start to flow. I am so thankful for the 'No computer Mon-Fri rule' .

Today we awoke to pouring rain and cooler temperatures so we enjoyed hot chocolate and curling up in comfy spots with good books......aaahhh the beauty of homeschooling.....:o)

Happy ninth Birthday Peachy!! We love you :o)!

A happy smile for the cam.......

Chicky was using this rifle as a guitar and dancing wildly, so cute! He is obsessed with music and dance.....

He soon discovered the dancing game. The one where you stand on a little platform and follow the dance moves on screen. We could not remove him from it ! He loved it and danced most of the night away. Here he is concentrating on his dance moves. LOL.

The kids were not the only ones enjoying the evening LOL ;o)! Go sis!
