of Barf and Bags but not Barf Bags

Barfing Report:

A scene from yesterday:

The children mostly slept all day. Today my first inkling they're mostly better was the energy being back. Including the energy to play and shout and bicker with enthusiasm.

Since ~ 2 am this morning, we have been barf free.

I spent the night on the couch to be a First Responder, and still jumped up at every cough and bump all night, but was able to sleep longer stretches in between and at least get some sleep. That was nice.

However, the bug seems to have about a 2-day incubation period, so we will not be officially out of the woods until late Saturday night. And if the 19 month old is any gauge, there may also be an eye of the barf storm which seems to be "better" but is not. So, I'm hopeful but not holding my breath.

BUT!

Yesterday I got the most lovely surprise in the mail! My friend Becky sent me a beautiful hand-crocheted bag that she made herself! In Kim Colors! You can tell a color is good if it matches my kitchen! LOL!

I have to say I'm in awe, I have no idea what it takes to make such amazing things.

This morning my 5 year old said "is that a hat?" - he was sick during The Great Unveiling yesterday and hadn't seen it yet.

What do you think, could it be a hat, too?

"No, is a bog!" said my 3 year old. Bog means bag, in LittleD Speak, by the way. He wasn't fooled.

The bestest surprise was the beautiful bag held fancy pantsy chocolate!

Thank you so much, Becky! You're the greatest!!
