You Would NEVER Know. . . .
By the looks of things at our house right now, you would never know that Caroline is sick. She has some form of bronchitis. She was up half the night -- coughing and "snotting" on me. But, after going back to sleep around 3:15 a.m., she made it through the rest of the night until about 6:45.
As I attempt to type, she has a "tea party" going in the living room. I even brought her table & chairs from the sun room into the living room, because the sun room is chilly (no heat or a/c out there). She has a "dress up" scene going here in the office -- all her dress up clothes are either in a pile, or smothering Raggedy Ann. She's playing a piano concerto at the piano (also here in the office). And, I believe that she's got her Little People house and Airplane out in her room. . . probably with a camel from the Bethlehem scene flying the plane. Because, at our house, ANYone can fly the airplane. (even Baby Jesus)
There's laundry to do. . . dishes to put away. . .a bathroom to clean. . . and an entire house's worth of carpet to vacuum. But now, I'm enjoying some "peaceful, easy feeling" kind of time. I came up with an idea for a craft project for Easter -- and while I attempt to get her to take a nap, I may try to make a few and see how they turn out.
Oh. . . and while all this is happening on the homefront, Edison is climbing Mt. LeConte with the 8th graders from his school. And, although he's been looking forward to this for a long time, I am anxiously awaiting his arrival home. He took his new CamelBack backpack -- complete with the "bladder" to hold water.
This is a new side to Edison that I'm enjoying watching emerge. His rugged, outdoorsman side. He is going on a 3-day intensive hike in a couple weeks with some of the kids from church, and our youth minister. It will be his first backpacking/camping trip -- and I know it will be a great experience for him. It's just his momma that has to get used to these kinds of things.
I sent along a disposable camera today -- with the intention of him taking pictures of the hike, and his friends. Lest you get too excited, may I remind you--he's 14. God himself only knows what kinds of pictures will be developed after he gets home.
I do promise, however, to share any that are valuable!
Well, I probably need to try and get "little stuff" down for some kind of nap. I have no idea whether or not she'll comply and sleep. . .but one can dream, right?
Have a wonderful Friday -- and enjoy this first weekend of Holy Week. Our choir and orchestra are performing two selections on Sunday. Practice last night went very, very well. . .so I'm anticipating good things on Sunday morning.
I will do my best to check in throughout the weekend!!

i would much rather fly in a plane flown by Jesus at any age than the camel...hehe!
i hiked HALF of LeConte last winter with mark and sarah and it kicked our rears. halfway was as far as we could handle, but i felt impressed that i could make it that far! at least edison's got a little bit more youth on his side, but i bet ya he'll be sore tomorrow! that's cool that he enjoys outdoorsy stuff...i love it and i hope my kids take after me!
Oh, Edison's pictures will be valuable. One way or another. The big question is whether they will be sharable.
Sounds like you and Caroline are having my kind of day!! Although I do remember the mountain hikes also.
when katherine left for chicago i said photos i want photos of you.... for a trip this expensive i expect photos... hmmm we'll see... i tend to get back lots of photos of goofy faces, what they call "lottery photos" the "guess you had to be there" kind of photos
