It was a beautiful day! No wind and highs in the 50s. Mark and Mikayla decided is was warm enough for swim suits. Now I don't agree but I admire their enthusiasm. They got the trampoline wet and played with water balloons. Awesome!
It was also the day for Epiphany! I've stuffed so many babies in the King Cake that everyone finds one. Juliet is the only one I took a picture of.
I make the king cake a little different this year. I used crescent dough and filled it with sweetened cream cheese and strawberry jam. It was good!
And Merril tested positive for COVID this morning. He developed a fever and chills in the middle of the night. We isolated him to the spare bedroom and I brought him a pitcher of water, so he could stay hydrated. Hopefully, no one else catches it. I've had a sore throat for 2 days but I tested negative this morning. I'm hoping that my vaccine helps a little. The kids will have to stay home for 5 days and then go to school with a mask if they feel fine. Juliet is vaccinated so she can attend school like normal.
Update: Merril had a fever, chills and aches for 36 hours. After that he felt pretty okay. He got tested again on Saturday and tested negative. He feels a tiny bit weak but other than that, no other symptoms. I'm glad he had an easy go of it! Covid is so weird, I'm glad he was one of the lucky ones!
