5 up, 5 down

Cook homeschool is closed today due to the flu. All four students hung their heads over the toilet some time early this morning. Dad is staying home from work--having taken up residence on one of the sofas. So far Mom, Aaron, Julie and Betsy and I have been spared--spared to clean toilets, tend animals, and heat up soup. I was especially sincere this morning when I asked the Lord to bless my bowl of cereal to my good.

  1. I pray the five that are down will get up and the five that are up will stay that way! 10 up!

  3. I'm so sorry, Amy! We'll say a special prayer this morning that all Cooks will be healthy as quickly as possible! ~ Love, Betsy O.

  4. It's not much of a story behind the photo. The Larsons gave us the Amish dolls that they bought at a garage sale. We set them out at the blueberry stand by the road for decoration. I snapped a picture, and when I was looking for something to post this morning (since I knew a picture of the toilet wouldn't be appreciated and my sibling probably wouldn't like me flashing the camera in their bloodshot eyes) I decided the weather-beaten Amish couple on a broken chair would work.
