Chubby Hugs & Sticky Kisses

Every September, Levi and I jokingly make bets on when the first kid is going to get sick with some virus they’ve picked up at school. Not that we think it’s funny that the kids get sick, we don’t. At all. Because I’m always the one who has to look after those sniffling whining people. With three kids though, we’ve learned to have a sense of humor about accepting the inevetable.

I placed my bet at three and a half weeks from the first day, Levi placed his at five weeks. Traditionally, the sniffles and scratchy throats start to appear around the end of September/beginning of October.

Terran came home with a fever of 102F on Wednesday. Maddie has had a scratchy throat since Thursday, and Connor spiked a fever Saturday evening. 

School was in for less than a week before it hit us.

It’s going to be a long year.
