I've been slugged by the flu, so with the exception of Gina's planned excursions for the kids, we've been homebodies for most of the last week. Nate still loves his lego sets and recently set up his own admiring line (of people and then later snakes) as he made a jet. Outside, Julie is always eager to give pillbugs rides in the backyard. After one particularly feverish day, Gina encouraged me to look outside: Nate and Julie drew our dining room in chalk in the classic "squished perspective" mode. It was clever: windows, table, chair seats, forks, spoons, and a very 3-D acorn/mulch soup for the plates. Apparently my plate is empty since I haven't felt like eating lately.
