For the sick one, apple juice popsicles for breakfast, honey english muffins for munching while zoning out to PBS Kids, and a fried egg for lunch. Looks like we're on the mend (I hope!).

Flu-Buster
In an attempt to fight off the house full of flu germs, I am downing massive amounts of tea, and washing hands and wiping surfaces constantly. I've been doing some weekend cooking while housebound and have lots of healthy items on hand. Today's lunch: 4 kinds of greens, grilled tofu, and roasted yams and sweet potatoes. Plus a high-dose vitamin C.

Flying School
The day after Halloween we had unseasonably warm weather. We took advantage of the opportunity to spend some time out on the back deck, I with my book and Adelaide with her tent, pencil and paper and legions of stuffed animals. She bustled around setting up a school for the animals, and after they had all spent some time in the tent together they were ready to begin the real work of the day, learning to fly. I'm not sure if it was merely the presence of the clothesline and clothespins, or some internal inspiration, but those animals were destined to be airborne. The vision:
A helping hand for take-off:
And they're off!
As the head teacher and founder of the school, Adelaide realized she needed to recruit some volunteers, so she created a sign-in sheet:
I was recruited, and in addition to documenting the flight, I was asked to teach reading to the friends who were grounded for various issues:
Adelaide assisted students in dressing the part:
A good time was had by all.

Dinner Conversation
A: Mom, I worship Grace.
C: Oh?
A: Yeah. And Gracie and Kaitlin worship me.

Winter Fare
Today's lunch was a combination of some leftovers from the week and some fresh veg from the store. The leftovers were brown rice, 3 bean chili with yams, quinoa and soy chorizo, and tomato soup. The fresh veg was rainbow swiss chard and dark kale. Warm and comforting. And yes, best served with a side of beano.
