Cold season

We had our first snow here in Rockford this week. It was unusually early for a 1/2 inch of snow, since most of the trees aren't even changing color yet. And the early winter weather brought with it the colds and flu because everybody in my family has some case of the sniffles. My strain is the sleepy kind. I just want to lay in bed all day doped up on cold meds. We also know Nicholas is sick because he's docile and quiet and wants to sit on the couch and watch Dora the Explorer all day. And eat popsicles. Mmm... popsicles. Maybe I should have one too. I am sick, after all.
