Poor Pooks came down with a fever on Friday that lasted through Tuesday early afternoon. It went up and down but never disappeared and at one point hit 104 (which caused me to rip the thermometer out of her mouth before it beeped and yell ok enough of that out of sheer fear of the numbers increasing). Normally we would head to San Jose, however she was running around and acting way too normal for such a high temperature so naturally i was convinced the thermometer was broken (even though i tested it on myself and it was normal) and sent Will to the pharmacy to get a new thermometer and some fever reducer. The new thermometer had the same results but Pookie felt “fine” according to her and didn’t want any medicine so we waited it out one more night (this was going on night 4) and thankfully she woke up the day before her birthday and her fever broke! Pookie has officially made it to 5 years old without ever taking medicine or antibiotic…hopefully we can make this claim again next year, and the year after, and so on. Here are some pics of the little peanuts cuddling, watching movies, and drinking smoothies at different points during our 4 day hibernation with Pook’s illness. 

Pooks: Hey Dada, good job making the money.

Dada: Melt.

Me: Hey Pooks your two little buddies (the two girls she has been sitting with each art class) aren’t going to be in class today.

Pooks: Oh hmm wonder why

Me: I don’t know.

Pooks: I’ll ask my teacher why.

Me: Oh ok so do you still want to go?

Pooks: Yea, maybe i’ll sit with the boys or pretend i know them and talk to them.

Me: Ok good idea.

Pooks: Or if not, I can just make some new friends!

Me: Bah, wish i was as cool as you.

Sabsy new pose she’s been practicing around the house  – she so gangsta

Dada finally shaved again! Sabsy was afraid of him for the first five minutes but now she is digging his new style. Sophie is glad b/c he shaved his chest and he can’t walk around threatening her with “hairy nipple soup”. Yes that really happens. Normal family.

As i post this they are on the same pillow, watching the same movie, and this time Pooks has her arm wrapped around Sabsy. I think i’ll take another pic. Beautiful little moments.
