My boys have been sick.
Again.
Husband got sick on his business trip and came home dragging. Normally an illness puts him down for oh...forty-five minutes or so. This time...it's been five days and counting.
Welcome to the real world.
Riley went down with this particular bout first on Saturday afternoon. Starts with a vicious headache. Turns into a fever and stomach pain.
On Sunday afternoon Sterling was hit upside the head.
Riley asked for my homemade chicken noodle soup.
Asked. Repeatedly.
Normally they act like I am trying to kill them if I offer them some of my amazing soup. I can't even spell S-O-U-P without them falling to the ground dramatically.
This must be serious.
I headed off to sprouts for the finest organic ingredients. (I left out the basil for this batch because I didn't want to hear boys complaining about floating green things.)
"That smells good," Riley complimented as it simmered.
Who is this child?!
Well, when it was done, I offered to get Riley some. Sterling was still behind in the illness and I wasn't sure his stomach could handle it.
Riley wanted a full bowl.
Which he ate.
And Sterling wanted some as well. He ate the whole bowl and told me it was amazing.
Who are these imposters?!
And how long can I keep them?
