we've got the fever

Mara has been sick. So sick. This is the first time she's ever been really sick, like with a fever and cough, etc. She has had such a high fever that we haven't been able to keep it down. Being sick, though, is no excuse for sloppiness. We demand beauty at all times. High heels are a must!
So is a tiara. She doesn't have lipstick smeared all over her face like she usually does. I'll let it go this one time just because she's sick. (She threw a big fit when we had to strip this dress off her later - because of the high fever.)
She wanted to go outside with the boys, but I told her no. That's okay. She just pulled up a chair and proceeded to talk to them through the window. I tried to talk her into wearing pajamas, but she insisted on her favorite dress with leggings. She also had two bracelets and a necklace, but she gave those up pretty quick. Smart.
I hope she gets better soon. Poor thing!
This little guy seems to be going downhill, too. I really hope he doesn't get as sick as Mara. Having a sick baby is so scary!
