Sick Day - dev's turn

So this year we woke up on thanksgiving with all intentions of braving a day of travel with our new little family.  This was Tova's first thanksgiving and we were going to test her ability to keep it together without good naps and lots of driving.  Well turns out we can wait until xmas to test her abilities. 

We should have known when Deven woke up at 8am (an all time record - not exaggerating) that something was amiss.  After complaints of a headache, hacking coughs, and a trip to the toilet we took the man's temperature and it was over 101 and soon reached over 102.  It didn't get any better by the time we needed to leave so we decided to take this official thanksgiving day off.  We curled up on the couch and watched Elmo and big bird all day - except for his 4 hour nap.  I made palak daal for dinner and we called it a night with a bottle of wine (that is nick and I not the kiddos :). 

It could have been better but could have been a lot worse (see this past post).  After a Saturday and Sunday of no temperature and feeling great he woke up again Monday morning and topped out at 102.3.  We're hoping he'll be back to school tomorrow after having 6 days off.  Cross your fingers.  The pics here are from various points through out the holiday/weekend/week.  As you can tell it hasn't been really fun for anyone least of all dev.
