Spring Fever

Elizabeth has been sick! She may have caught something on the way to or from Boston past weekend where we went to visit friends on a last minute whim. The past few days she's had a fever and been a little out of sorts. Friday it was 103.7! But overall, she's held up remarkably well. The infant motrin helps! Today the fever was gone and she's on the mend. Hopefully, she'll get really good long stretches of sleep tonight, although I never hold my breath for that.

Yesterday, two friends and I had a garage sale at our house. It was my first experience putting on a garage sale ever. The weather couldn't have been any more beautiful (warm and sunny, but not hot). It was such a good day for a yard sale, in fact, that pretty much everyone in the county was also having one. This means that the traffic wasn't fantastic because there were just sooooooo many to choose from, but we did get rid of quite a bit of stuff and made a bit of spending money. I thought we had an amazing selection of quality items. Almost everyone who stopped did end up buying something. Poor Elizabeth had fun but I think all the excitement wore her out in her sickness and she went to bed super early. One thing is for sure, though-- yard sales are a lot of work! I had no idea so much goes into them.

Other than that, we are trying to enjoy every minute of Jon's break and wishing we had longer before it ends. Elizabeth is still resisting eating any good quantity of food, of course. My friend Kristen says she's put herself on a supermodel diet. Mostly, I spend my days following her around with a variety of options trying to get her to eat. So really I'm ending up eating quite a bit more than usual, I think. :-)

*UPDATE! We think Elizabeth had roseola because she got a rash on her back and chest/tummy 48 hours after the fever went away. Apparently almost all kids get it before kindergarten and then they develop the immunity, so she was going to get it sooner or later. Cross that virus off the list!
