She didn't have any of the stomach distress that I usually associate with the flu, and her fever was rather low (100) most of the time, with the exception of Monday night when it went up to 102+. She was so pathetic Monday night - really out of it, it was a sad sight. But she woke up Tuesday morning feeling much better! Not great, by any stretch, but better.
I've written many times about how disappointing this winter was for Evyn, who had been waiting for a *big* snow since, oh, last June. Monday morning, the worst day of Evyn's sickness, the snow started falling - big, fat, beautiful flakes. Poor kid stared out the window longing to get out in it! We ended up getting about 5 inches.
Tuesday evening, after much of the snow had melted and Evyn was feeling better, her Daddy took her outside for a little sledding.
In construction news, the new room was connected to our heating system on Monday. Tuesday morning Guy came to trim the room - windowsills, closet doors, window seat, etc. It's starting to look like a real room!
In life B.C. (before children) Scott and I liked to watch those cheesy home-improvement shows like Trading Spaces. Invariably, the show would climax with what we called "the big color reveal," when the designer would crack open a can of paint and the homeowners would either "ooo" or "eww."
We had our own color reveal moment Wednesday evening when we opened the paint we'd picked out for the new room - wow is it bright! I think it will look great when the whole room is done, and not contrasting against the white primer.
Here it is - what do you think?
It's actually lighter, and a bit brighter, than the background color of this blog. But pretty similar!

I love the color! It looks fresh & spring like.
Sorry that Evyn had the flu. Poor thing! I swear this winter has been the WORST we've had in a long time and I've heard of so many people getting the flu in the last couple of weeks.
I'm waiting anxiously on Baby M. as I'm sure you are too. :))))
