Quarantine = Fun!

Well it seems that it's not the chicken pox... What it is exactly we don't know. Sebastian still has spots but as of today there are no new spots and there's no indication that the spots he does have are going to change in their appearance until they fade away (not like chicken pox that become pus-like and eventually crusty - sorry to those who have wimpy tummies!).

However to be safe, we decided to keep things low-key today and stay near home as opposed to taking the trek to Binbrook, as we had planned, to celebrate birthdays with the Whitehouse clan. We also decided to miss music today, so to take its place we went out for a nice morning walk with Sebastian in his brand new Radio Flyer wagon that I bought him for Mother's Day.

After our walk Sebastian settled down for a 3.5 hour nap which allowed Jamie and I to do some much needed yard work in the beautiful sun. As I weeded, planted, swept and trimmed, Jamie finished laying the flagstone over what used to be our pond. When Sebastian awoke from his nap his new sandbox that Papa had built was waiting for him and the rest of our afternoon was spent playing in the sandbox (thank you Papa, we love it!! xoxo)!! We then enjoyed our first dinner of the season outside on the back deck with homemade hamburgers and corn on the cob. After socializing with Rachel, the little girl who lives next door to us, Sebastian had his evening bath and is already in bed for the night.



Needless to say the fresh air has done Sebastian a world of good and hopefully by tomorrow he'll be back to his normal self. As for us, we're going to do a little more yard work before enjoying an ice cold beer on the back deck under the stars.

Hoping everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather,
Kim
