What to do with sick kids?

Florence has had a low grade fever for the past 4 days. I’ve been going a bit crazy from cabin fever. Yes, we’ve watched movies; Sound of Music, Curly Top, Alice in Wonderland, but we need to do other things too.

So here are my ideas on what to do to keep you and your sick kids happy:

1. Bake something - I know you don’t want your kids germy hands touching food, but it’s going to get baked in a 400F oven so the germs will die right? Probably not the baked goods you should share, so please just keep it within the family. We made some awesome butternut squash and feta muffins this morning.

2. Go to Goodwill, but leave the sick kid at home please- goodwill doesn’t sell toys anymore, but there are plenty of great puzzles and games to keep kids entertained while taking it easy at home.

3. Put your kid in their stroller and go for a walk. the fresh air and sunshine is a great way to get rid of those icky germs.

4. Eat popsicles, especially ones with vitamin C

What do you do when your kid is sick? Do you have any family traditions?
