Nora Jane stayed home from school today. She hasn't been feeling great the last few days and last night she was up all night coughing. And sneezing, and kicking, and hogging the covers. I know this because she was sleeping right next to me. Just like she has been since Sunday, when her dad left to go turkey hunting. Needless to say, this morning we were both feeling a little tired and not our usual selves.
Oh, I could have made her go to school, but what's the fun in that? Once in a while, it's just nice to hang out at home with mom. So that's what she did.
We planted a few things:
a lilac,
a hellebore,

| Such pretty flowers |
a cute little boxwood, since Jack killed the last one, (I'll let you figure out how) and another tray of zinnias.
We also checked in with big sis to see if her zinnia seeds had sprouted yet. We received an enthusiastic text in return,"yes they have!"
We sat out on the grass and let the sun warm our backs.
This is how I checked on the tulips.
Hello there cutie:)
This is how NORA checked on the tulips.
Apparently, you get a better view from up there.
This was followed by further inspection.
And closer inspection.
And then she discovered the joy of pruning. After a few shrubs got a completely unnecessary haircut, I put the pruners away and we went back inside

where we did some knitting, (Nora's advanced from rectangles that vary in width from end to end to a dish cloth..woo-hoo!) and read from, yet another, chicken book. Then she made a robot. At least a robot head:

| K-Kid |
(complete with control panel)

| The K-Panel |
and since no sick day is complete without a little school work, she worked on her story.
I'm almost hoping she's still under the weather tomorrow. :)
