Fever

The themes and colors of Valentine's Day crafts are a delight to our 3 7/8 year old girlie. She has made two batches of cards, dozens of cut out hearts, and many drawings. Below, crumpled tissue paper and glue create a three dimensional heart. The end result is fabulously fluffy and cheerful.

Meanwhile...

Vincent has been running a fever for two days and generally behaving like a sick kid. No snot nose, no cough, no apparent stomach issues. I took him to the doctor this afternoon, and his exam was all normal except for a slightly elevated temperature (brought down - again - by the ibuprofen he'd had an hour before the appointment). Doc says it's likely a virus, nothing to worry about at this time, just keep on with the medicine, cool water, and light clothes. So I changed Vincent's shirt from long sleeves to short sleeves and he went and got a blanket. 

Also today, the dryer shut off before the end of the cycle. Three times. I think we may have a problem there. Maybe it's just a virus?? Sigh.
