What to do...

If you don't know, all three of our kiddos have had tonsillitis. It started out as just sniffles and sneezes from experiencing new bugs from moving, but then those bugs ganged up on us! Their tonsils were huge, which limited eating. Sad. Then, the doctor told us not to have interaction with other kids for a few days because the antibiotic he was putting them on would not kill the whole infection, but would let their bodies catch up and do the work it needed to. So, given that our outside time is usually with other children, this momma needed to have a plan.

I wanted them to get fresh air, but we don't have a yard of our own to quarantine them to. Then, while I was having an evening to myself at a local craft store, I saw that the moon sand (well, the generic one) was half off! A flash of genius, and a turkey roaster later, and my kids were in business...on the patio. Sorry to the neighbors below--I did put a towel and a plastic piece under them, but still, some fell onto your patio furniture.
