Monkey was sick last week. Oh, yeah, I told you.
Well, it wasn't a 12 or 24 hr bug as I had expected. In fact it took a whole week to kick this weird virus. Not fun. My little monkey usually doesn't sit still much, but he spent most of the week on his Couch Bed, and feverish:
Poor buddy. Thank goodness for:
Convenient dr's offices.
Downloading free demos for the PS3.
Netflix.
Awesome Nana-made quilts to snuggle in.
It was a long week. And I'm afraid he got used to the excellent service (begging him to eat ice cream for lunch and as many video games as he could handle) and this week he wasn't in the mood to be back to normal. As in, he'd write 'No Skool' on our whiteboard.
He doesn't see the irony.
In other news, this cool girl posted about camelcamelcamel, and I tried it out this week. It's a price checker on Amazon. Good stuff if you shop ahead/shop amazon frequently, both of which I do. Just today I got an email saying that this thing I was looking at ($70 usually) was down to $50 today. I also looked up this snap circuit set I was thinking of getting someone for their birthday, and by checking the camel site, I found that it is at a rock bottom price right now. Excellent. This is a great resource.
I designed my...13th? Shutterfly photo book. When they give me a free book deal or a great coupon code, I take it. So far I've done 6 photo 'yearbooks' which we give to the grandparents for Christmas. I've been trying to order extra copies of those when they go on sale, so that someday the kids will all have their own set. I've done a cousin book, two books for Monkey, one Legoland one for Thomas, a mini beach book and now 3 big beach books. I think that's 14, actually. I love those books and my kids go through them all the time.
Hopefully we actually get some snow this weekend - it's been a ridiculously mild winter. Unfortunately it's the weekend that Aaron has to take some scouts on a Klondike campout. Well, they'll Be Prepared. I just worry about the roads.
Have a great weekend!
