Logan got strep throat and was home with Kalia and I for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Not wanting to take a sick boy to our usual fun spots like the mall, Walmart, library or park where he could infect someone else we drove to a construction site!
We packed a snack and drinks and checked out some real mighty machines. A bunch of the workers even stopped to wave at Logan which he thought was awesome. We parked at a few different spots and talked about what they were doing. This also gave Kalia time to take her morning nap.
In the afternoon, Logan woke up before his sister and still had a bit of a fever.
I got him to take a bath to help with his fever by turning it into "homework"! He used a turkey baster to mix different colors in plastic cups. Turkey basters are suppose to be awesome tools for preschoolers. Logan picked the different colors to mix and I recorded them on a paper and then he would call out the result for me to record. He remembered that red and blue make purple from out "feet painting" activity so he really enjoyed this. I'll have to come up with some other color mixing activities.
On Thursday afternoon Grandma and Grandpa came to help out! Phew! I'm just getting over a sinus infection which has really tired me out and Allan torn some ligaments in his ankle and is wearing a air cast so we were very appreciative of the extra help.
Kalia had her first baby Mum Mum cracker.

Picnic time!
While the kids had a picnic with the grandparents, Allan and I headed to the Hilton for brunch ---five years ago we got married here so it was a little celebration for the two of us!
