Sickies, sunny boys & scarves

I wasn't able to go to uni last week because Charlotte managed to end up with an ear infection, conjunctivitis and as asthma diagnosis all in the one week so I've been the ever vigilant mother with antibiotics, eye drops and the like to ensure I could go to classes this week. So last night I'm busily preparing uniforms and lunches for the day ahead. And then it all went pear shaped. Izaak woke up with a raging temp and is home from school sick. The weird thing? Well 2 things really - Izaak never, ever gets sick. This is the first since we moved here (15 months) that he has needed to see a doctor and of course it's the week that I really need to go to classes! 2nd weird thing is that Stuart has parked himself in front of the lounge where the above mentioned sick child has been for most of the day and refuses to budge. Izaak goes to the bathroom and within seconds Stuart is trapsing up the stairs behind him. Izaak goes to the kitchen for water... Stewie is right there with him.
We did go for a drive to see quilting mick today to pick up my goodies - 2 absolutely divine sunnyboy project bags and a drawstring bag which is really very roomy. If you don't have one of these already then head over to Buttontree lane to share in the goodness. Her work has drawn some attention lately as well which is great to see. My ravelympics projects are now safely stored away in these...
Finally in Ravelympic news I've done some work on the full size clappy and quite a bit on the scarf size clappy which I'm loving in the Noro silk garden ....

and some work on a new slouchy hat....

I'm hoping to have my moment on the podium tomorrow in the hat dash ;-)

Poor Izaak - hope he's feeling better. He's such a lovely boy. I get a real kick out of spending time with him.

It was so nice to see you both yesterday. Hope your Mondays get back to normal though!
