5, 6, pick up sticks

We were supposed to go to the Busta's today to watch the Vikings game.

We knew we weren't going to make it 3 minutes after the girls were awake.  Such a bummer.
It's been nice to hang out with our friends lately and I was looking forward to another afternoon with them.

The girls haven't been feeling good and last night while at grandma's they had fevers.
This morning they woke up with runny noses and coughs.  We had a busy weekend and figured that the best thing to do today would be stay home and take it easy.


After the game the girls were starting to feel better and by tonight after dinner they seemed to be on the mend.   Fevers were gone.  Coughs were still lingering and the noses were under better control.

During dinner Hannah made a statement that she needed to hurry and eat so she can get outside and finish her job.

I found her outside a little while later picking up the sticks in the yard.
Dad told her he'd pay her $1 to pick them up.

She looked so small to me today while I was standing on the deck watching her in the yard.

I hope she never loses her willingness to help.

$1 for sticks?! What a good deal!
