Sleeping Beauty

Both Mommy and Madison took an epic nap today - just about two hours long.  Daddy was at work the entire time, but he heard about it later.  Basically, they're both recovering from a tough week and needed the rest.  It was cold outside, and there wasn't much in the way of homework, or other things that needed to be done.  Monday is actually a federal holiday, so it made for a relaxing sort of day today anyway.

When Daddy got home, it was time for supper once again, a delicious soup that Mommy prepared with mushrooms and potatoes.  It was delicious and warm, just the right kind of meal for a cold night like tonight.

Unfortunately for Daddy, he got whatever it is that's been plaguing Madison all week.  Symptoms are stuffy head and runny nose - all that stuff.  No fun!  He was up all night long.  Fortunately, Madison seems to be on the tail end of this.  It's terrible hearing her cough at night, knowing there's not much else you can do to help her.  No wonder she slept for a good part of the day.  Fortunately, she hasn't had the big fever that comes with these sometimes.  I think that may be because she's had her flu vaccination earlier, or at least that's my hope.

Tonight before bed, she chose to watch "Sleeping Beauty," which is kind of appropriate, isn't it?  She wanted to see the story of Princess Aurora once more, so we all gathered on the couch and piled the blankets up high.  We popped some popcorn and watched a movie together on the big screen.

Daddy's probably calling in sick tomorrow, so I'd say more of the same is in the forecast.  Sleep, sleep, sleep - just like Aurora!
