Three week Countdown!

The end of this school year is rapidly approaching. The boy's cough is finally going away. Things are looking good around here.

I drew this guy for hat day, but the boy ended up being too sick to come to school :(

The boy missed the next day of school also, so no international day jokes. The next day was both jersey day and joke day, so naturally, I went with joke. I thought this one was fitting given all the time from school the boy has missed lately due to his cough.

The next day was kindness day, and I thought about how good it feels when you get a piece of mail that isn't a bill. A random letter from a friend can be a simple kindness. They always brighten my day.

Friday was luau day, so I wanted to go with something Hawaiian themed to match the day. Besides the obvious punchline, Hawaii's state animal is the humpback whale, so I incorporated one into the doodle :)

Today's spirit day is Make a New Friend Day. Who makes better friends than Dr. Frankenstein, am I right?

Fingers crossed that the boy makes it through a full (short) week of school this week!

Slow Recovery

So, I underestimated the plague the boy brought into the house. He was down for the rest of the week. I was down for a few days as well. Thought he might make it back on Friday, even wrote him a joke and packed a lunch, but he didn't make it.

Here's the joke he got to read when he ate his lunch at home.

For his return last Monday, I decided to make light of the sickness, and sent him a joke about being sick.

One more sick joke for Tuesday.

We're doing ABC's of school spirit, so I switched gears on Wednesday from jokes about being sick to jokes that match the spirit theme of the day. Wednesday was exercise day, so I sent a joke about sports.

Thursday was fruit day, so I sent a couple of sweet little pears.

Friday was game day. The kiddos brought board games to school to play with their friends. I sent a game joke with the boy that featured a cute little bat.

Today is hat day, so I drew this friendly cowboy. However, the boy's terrible cough persists, so he's staying home again. I had already packed his lunch before he woke up and I heard how bad the cough was. The high pollen count is doing a number on this kiddos allergies and triggering his asthma something fierce.

Fingers crossed that a day of rest helps get his cough under control.

Rough Weekend

We had a rocky finale to our week last week. The boy caught a fun little stomach bug and missed school Friday. Had a low grade fever until yesterday. Seems to be on the mend though. Recycling Friday's joke for today since I'm a bit under the weather myself now.

Starting off this week with a lot of sniffles, but hopefully we'll all be healthy again soon.
