water-logged and over it 1/15/13

As of this past weekend, chest congestion and coughing has infected us all.  Jim had already had a touch of it a few weeks back, and I felt it coming the Saturday before.  Last Wednesday, Parker started waking up with a gooky nose, and I could hear Jake clearing his throat from his bed.  By Saturday, it had hit us all, and our only outing was to stock up on cough syrup and decongestant.  

Out of all of us, I think Parker has had it the worse.  On Sunday, he started running fever and had one off and on throughout the day yesterday.  So Jim took him to his pediatrician (He said his ears weren't fully infected but were definitely irritated, so he prescribed him an antibiotic for him to take for ten days.) and hung out with him here at home the rest of the day.  

Today I took off to make sure he stayed fever-free, got his appetite back, and stayed out of this nasty weather for one more day.  Ugh!  I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever see the sun again.  We're all wondering. 

This is the look he gave me when I told him it was still raining...which meant no "ide" (outside).

What were the dimensions of that ark again?
