Sick Week

We have been sick. Again.
This is no fun.

Miss E had to stay home this week, and she is bored to death.

I am sick and grumpy.

Quijote went to back to work this week and the adjustment time could not have come at a worse time. I had actually been looking fwd to our collective return to "normal" and "scheduled" but instead I have had little sense of knowing what is going on or having any control over it. He has been super sweet and has tried to help- HAS helped a lot. But it's not his fault. It's my mindset. Can't shake the blues. Sigh.

Let me share some pictures, in an attempt to sheer myself up a little bit :) We did have a great time, esa semana de mi cumpleanos. We were still on vacation (read Quijote was around all day, jeje!)

And as you know, my inlaws were here for the weekend-

Thanks for the mat! it's a permanent exhibition now ;)

 Later that week Miss E was into being a ballerina cat (I blame it on Daniel Tiger)

And she wanted -insistently- Mr E to be a Tiger, but he only let me give him whiskers and a little black nose:

Please notice the kitty tail I made for her. Please ignore the lack of pants. jaja!

The next weekend we tried to go to the park, but it was hot and we ended up going to the Children's museum:

Wings!!!!

Temporary exhibition- Miss E loved it!

She put on her explorer's vest and ran around and played bear in the cave with Mr E

Then we climbed around!! It was challenging!

She only made it a couple rocks over to the right, but she did not give up.

She kept getting back on the climbing wall and kept going till the end :)

Mr E was a fan of the air and bubbles section.

hahaha!

my little opera singer

we put that skeleton together!

cool spacious set up where kids can run :) or stop and look at things...

And of course the big blue blocks are always a hit

they had so much fun!

Love the arts and crafts area. We need to make it out to one of their events.

If I ever have the $ and space I want this for our craft room :)

We also ate pretty well that week! Courtesy of the inlaws, who left us with lots of good foods in our fridge.

A yummy recipe from real simple- taragon sauce for the meat, and roasted red onions and carrots as a side.

I keep trying my fave foods from childhood on them. With mixed success. "Mixed" is a euphemism.

Miss E did eat them quite happily.

Ice cream is always a hit.

yep. I broke our blender, as you know. but this particular recipe is actually easier with the hand blender

the ice cream itself has barely a teaspoon per batch, but the first time we made it we added cherries. lotta sugar in those :P

they didn't complain though..

this is his I-m-way-too-exited-I-can-t-contain-myself face

ta-da!

lamb meat balls

and a second time with cous cous. Mr E likes that word.

And the bunny family moved to a cottage- the big house was too hard to play with! the open concept is working out better for us all.

I do feel better. Two weeks of partying is worth the sick week afterwards. Right? hehe.. sigh.
