Otherwise known as chicken pox. Yup, even after two vaccinations Will has them. Nothing too serious in the whole scheme of the nasty stuff: 4 on his tummy, 3 on his right thigh, 2 on his right calf and 1 on his back. At least that's it at this point. They could keep coming generally for 7-10 days but we are almost on day four here. So he has been out from school and since Gram has been playing with her friends in the Cities, Brad and I have been taking turns staying home. Today was a Mommy day. We did lots of fun things besides watch the Three Musketeers (see previous post). We made a cardboard sword - no more screwdrivers, ate some mac and cheese, took a long nap, blew bubbles with the bubble machine (see really old post "I'm forever blowing bubbles") and then built some playgrounds. Who knew chicken pox could be so much fun.
This was our first creation. When we were done Will said he wanted to show Dad so I suggested we take a picture. He thought that was groovy and asked to do the same after each building.
Some pictures like my sister would take. See
Languishing
The human family seems to have been banished to the edge of town. They don't have much balance on the precarious steeples of the playground.
This was the scene after each creation had had its day. The giant pajama boy would stomp through and leave everything in ruins.
When we were about done Will picked up Emmy's Princess phone and pushed some buttons and then pushed the ringer button on the house phone and handed it to me. We spent the next five minutes talking on the phone to each other about this, that and the other thing. I think people should get the chicken pox more often.
