Put another tick mark down for a childhood rite of passage. RJ has hand, foot, and mouth disease. It has been pretty rough for him. His mouth has been sore. His elbow has lots of sores, so it is tender. But, the worst part is definitely being confined to the house. We had to reschedule Ryleigh's birthday pictures and skip soccer and Ryleigh's music class (just in case Ry is carrying the virus). We're hopeful that RJ will be ready to go back to school by Wednesday.
Before the virus appeared, the kids got to have some playground fun Monday and Tuesday. The playground we went to on Monday had fresh wood chips. With no rain to wash them, they are dusty. I think RJ managed to get every speck of dust on his face.
On Tuesday, Jip had to drop his motorcycle off for its periodic service appointment. So, we met him at the dealership and then headed to a playground until it became too dark to play anymore.
After dinner, we went up the road a couple miles to see a local Halloween House that has been all over YouTube the last few years. We listened to a little music while the faces sang and the ghosts danced.
Speaking of Halloween house, here's ours as it looks this week.
And our pumpkins...
Wish us all luck this week as we try to survive a few more days being confined!
Ugh! That's a first that could have been skipped. We had HFM this summer and it stunk. Hope the family is feeling better and you're all released from confinement =)
