Sean also said that his throat hurt, so his favorite teacher gave him a popsicle:
The kids suddenly had a burst of energy, so we decided to cook up some fun in the kitchen. Sean wanted to bake SUGAR COOKIES for VALENTINE'S DAY! Luckily I chose a low-sugar recipe since the lack of sugar in the cookies was more than made up for with the insane amount of sprinkles on top :-)
While the cookies baked, we rested and watched "The Jungle Book" on DVD:
Yum!
The next morning, I took the kids to the doctor for a joint sick appointment. We ended up in the jungle room and Clare chattered on about 'nanas nonstop. Sean was so helpful at the appointment - he didn't even flinch when the doctor tested him for strep throat!
The doctor determined that Clare had an ear infection and Sean just has a bad cold, but we'll keep an eye on him. After the appointment, we went home for some rest.

After resting, we did a Valentine's day craft, colored, and made a blanket fort:
After lunch and naps, we went to the "medicine store" (CVS) to pick up Clare's prescription and to the library to get some new books. We spent the rest of the day resting, playing, and snacking. And Clare showed us that just because it's a sick day, it doesn't mean we can't dress up in our finest:
The kids seemed better this morning and were back at daycare today. However, this afternoon Sean's teacher noticed that Sean felt warm and took his temperature - another low-grade fever! Sean was acting his normal self, so hopefully a couple of days at home with help him get back to 100%.
