Snow day(s)!

So, what a week we have had so far. Kevin started feeling bad on Sunday. On Monday, after getting him all the way to daycare, Colten decided to throw up so back in the car we went to come home. Took him and daddy to the doctor. Colten has RSV and daddy has Influenza A. FUN, FUN!

Add to that, we had a blizzard forecast for Tuesday, and it sure did deliver! I haven't been out and personally measured our snow totals, but we have some drifts that I bet are every bit of 2 feet high.

So, here we are, sick and homebound. I guess it's better to be sick and forced to be home than for the weather to be nice and you want to go out. Still, I will say that taking off all week was not a way that I wanted to use a chunk of my vacation days available for the year.

Colten is still coughing up a lung and has a runny nose, but he is running around and playing so I guess he's not doing too badly. Daddy is achy and miserable, but hanging in there. Temperatures are not supposed to get above freezing all week, so who knows when we will have enough thawing to escape. I'm certain that right now our little Honda Accords would get stuck in the snow before we ever made it out to the road down our 700 feet of driveway.
