Ups and Downs

We ate outside last night on our new patio furniture. In La Grande we didn't have any kind of deck, so I've been plotting this since the first time we saw this house.

Quinn scoped out his seat immediately, then proceeded to drink double-fisted.

He and Daddy spent all day outside. Long enough that there was need for a double dipping of sunblock. And a hat when the sun got nasty. My child is, well, light of skin.

We took a bath right after dinner, and immediately after Quinn started acting sick. During his first viewing of 101 Dalmations, his eyes got red and he just wasn't well. He went to bed and woke up early, crawled into our bed and shocked me. He was burning up. His head, his back, his entire body. Temperature was right aroud 102. The fever broke after lunchtime, but came back with a passion when he got up from his much-needed nap.

So the day was spent inside (it was like 85 today, so didn't bum me out too badly), drinking our mixture of 7-up and orange juice, watching videos and being mellow. With this face, I doubt preschool is going to happen tomorrow.

Poor Q, he is not looking so well in that last photo. It's no fun dealing with a fever, but even worse when it's summer!

On the bright side, that deck and patio set look very inviting! Glad you finally got your outside living space - even if it is 4+ hours away.
