My girls are sick. Today is much worse than yesterday. Avery's sniffles and cough that would occasionally lead to coughing up some gunk has turned into Sam not keeping anything down. YUCK!
But even with a cough yesterday we needed some outside time.
It is completely ridiculous that we can be cleaning up the back section of our yard in January (it should be buried in feet of snow!) but the girls loved playing in the leaves.
Today we may just go for a walk or throw a ball for the dog. I don't think Sam wants to move off the couch but we will see.
What outdoor play have you done lately?

I recently found this blog post from ActiveKidsClub and it is great to see that I am not the only mom taking her kids outside when they are ill! And she was given doctor's orders to do so!!
Your girls look really happy considering they were ill. I always take Goblin out when he has a cold. It amazing how alive he becomes when he's in the fresh air.

I was actually stunned to see how much perked up when we went out. It was my first time to "push" them with outdoor play when they are sick. But man I am a believer now because it did them both some good to be outside.
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!
