Nothing like some croup times two to take the wind out of your sails. Michael had a fever when we returned on Monday, and by the middle of the night, had the trademark barking cough. He missed school on Tuesday (it's their last week) and I took him to be checked out. Mother's intuition proved right, it is croup, we got a prescription for Orapred, and the advice that when Emily comes down with it, just to call and they would call in more Orapred for her. She was already hoarse, so I knew it was coming. By Tues night, Emily was a mess, fever, runny nose, horrid cough. So now she is on Orapred as well. Finally last night they both slept soundly, and are feeling much better today, but there is no way I can send them to school with the coughs and amount of snot they are producing. Did I mention today is their last day?? Till the end of August?? And that I had planned to cull the toys in the family room and clean out the front hall closet while they were in school? Oh well, guess we will go to Costco and stock up on paper goods instead.
I'm nothing if not flexible.

No camp for Em and M, but Sophie does have 4 weeks sprinkled throughout the summer. 2 weeks of VBS at different churches, one girl scout camp and one swim camp. I have the library storytime schedule and the roswell puppet show schedule already, so we will do some of that as well. hope your beach week is great!
