You've done a good job!<BR/><BR/>I hope Max is better soon. That stomach crud is the worst.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see your WIP's!<BR/><BR/>ChrisChrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14485422535638850892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-10064247245595561022008-11-11T04:40:00.000-08:002008-11-11T04:40:00.000-08:00Ah yes when your kids are off for a while ill....I came across your blog through PinkPurl's My 2 managed to get Euphorbia sap all over them and it is photoreactive so lo and behold they'd washed it off and said nothing but by the next day, Leo looked like her had 3rd degree burns all over his face and Kiear had big blisters all over her! So we had 4 days of staying in the house curtains drawn to keep UV out and hubby got flu the same week. Boy was it a relief when they wwent back to school. I love them dearly and they were so good bless them but a 5yr old brother and a 7yr old sister can annoy the life out of each other when cooped up for a week. Our lovely neighbour brought some baby duckling round for them to see which casued much hilarity for Leo something tickled him about them:D Back in school and I'm back to sewing. Hope you have a healthy house this week, vomit free<BR/>Clairexnimblejackshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00326199055256584706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-80154382121290662892008-11-10T23:04:00.000-08:002008-11-10T23:04:00.000-08:00What a delightful drawing to illustrate Maria's story.<BR/><BR/>Poor Max, i hope he gets better soon. Yuk :[<BR/><BR/>And I hope your , hmm, resolute good health continues too, Natalie!<BR/><BR/>And Alex is a dear to read to his brother. The world of HP6 is a good escape when ill. <BR/><BR/>My daughter allowed me to read the last book to her aloud last year at the age of 18. I think it helped to broaden her understanding of it, and we could discuss the subtext better, which she doesn't always get. It completed the tradition of the seven book series. We enjoyed each reading. She even brought the book to me in hospital for visits so I could read to her one year, when I was admitted for a month with a back injury and surgery.

Maybe you could send some of Maria's dragons to slay his illness?<BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself Natalie. You and your family are in my prayers.<BR/><BR/>Yvettemtnchildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17457636624663214696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-35540062252970043692008-11-10T18:03:00.000-08:002008-11-10T18:03:00.000-08:00I guess it's a good thing that there's no school, and Max is sick at the same time - at least he won't have to claim a day absent! I hope he feels better soon. Keep pushing clear liquids, and make him sleep a lot! I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to read out loud to my son (more than board books anyway!)Emhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04451102661519375820noreply@blogger.com
