What to do when you're stuck home sick??

Molly got it. Type A flu. So she stayed home from school. For six days. So she got to hang with Mom (and Dad, since he got it, too) for a while. She got to watch some TV, which was a super rare treat since we NEVER watch TV during the week. She drew some great pictures, slept, read some books, slept, watched Mom bake and run around, and slept.

On one day, when Molly was feeling a little better, we went to lunch together. We had hoped to go to Lucy's Grille in Celina (a favorite for fried pickles), but when we got there it was CLOSED!!! Oh no! The sign said they will re-open - they are under new management. They better have fried pickles! So, instead we drove down the road to Sonic and sat outside to eat our lunch.

This is what we did when we got home:

Built a pirate ship!

The Sonic kids meals (Whacky Packs) have pirate gear right now and Molly got the ship. So she was dying to put it together. Now this cute little pirate ship kit came in a KIDS meal, right? Well, let me tell you - this was no task for a KID! But, Mom managed to git 'er done, and a mighty fine pirate ship she is!



I'm happy to report that Molly has returned to school, Jon has almost completely recovered and we are enjoying some fall weather!
