week of yellow {day 3}*

so much for my long list.  i got a call from the school nurse yesterday, and have been home with a feverish girl ever since.  remarkably, she's in good spirits, but still, it's a bummer.  especially given that today is the 100th day of school, which is a very big deal in kindergarten.  we're making the best of things, though, and have already counted out ten small snacks in ten small bowls so that she'll have 100 little things to eat in a bit - pistachios and raisins and chocolate chips and the like.  and we've determined that 100 is most surely an even number because all of those snacks have partners.  not a lot happening here today besides that.  and snuggling.

wow, that's a really sweet idea. The 100 snacks. I love it. I hope it helped ease her spirits.

i kept sam home again today, which is a little bit of torture for both of us.

stay well, emily!

we missed the 100th day last year for an out of town trip. I'm pretty sure it'll still be brought up when she's 16 and I won't buy her a new car. "And we missed the 100th day when I was in kindergarten!"

Hope she feels better soon. Poor sweet girl on her 100th day.

Love the alternate title on your day, your lovely photos and how you turned a potentially crummy day into a special one. Great job! Wishing your little one a quick recovery.

We did 100 day last week. Those kids get crazy about it. I am glad she is mostly feeling ok though.

Lemonade can be pretty great.

oh, that is where we are at too today. Home sick with a nasty cough and stuffy, stuffy nose...Glad to hear you are making lemonade of it all :)

[charlotte]

yes, when life gives you lemons, take photos for yellow week!

[Amy]

snuggle tight! hopefully tomorrow your little girl will feel much better!

your post photos made me think of summer days when getting a cold or the flu are not likely possible...

it was 100's day at my kids school today too. the kindy's celebrate it with making a hundred's day t-shirt and very fun hat. My kids are now 8, 10 and 12 but I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Oh, we have had that same dreaded fever thing here too. Hope she is well soon. Ours lasted about 3 days, hope yours is shorter. But eating 100 snacks has to make it better. For sure!
