The Cure for the common cold

So today both of the men in my life were under the weather and at home. Mr. Fantastic went to work for a while, and came home after putting up the good fight. Boots, who had fever dreams last night about his stuffed animals moving around his room all by themselves, was well into his second day of fighting off this nasty cold when dad came home to join the sick and weary club.
When Mr. Fantastic was sick when he was little, he would lay on the couch and watch Star Wars, the originals, not the crappy doctored up rereleased versions. So today as luck would have it, the Lucas Empire, saw fit to rerelease the original unaltered trilogy, so Mr. Fantastic was in his under the weather glory as he filled his afternoon with this...
Boots was perking up a little this afternoon so we made a quick trip to the store for more medication, gatorade and found these....
How fun is this shirt? He loved it because it looks "Cweepy", and it glows in the dark, does it get any better? Oh wait,... it does, that is a tiny glow in the dark skeleton with ooz in a clear coffin, and a squishy spider. We LOVE halloween here!

Little P got off the school bus this afternoon all slouchy, with her little cheeks all red. With her a definite sign that she is not feeling well. I walked with her inside and told her to snuggle up with softy on the couch and I would get her a snack. She said she wasn't hungry and just wanted to go in her room. Little P is ALWAYS hungry, especially after a long day at school. I ran for the thermometer, and the Motrin. After a little medicine and some juice she seemed more like herself and by dinner time, she was hungry, so things are looking up for her.

Miraculously, I managed to avoid the majority of this germ fest. I am going to stand behind my completely unscientific theory that coffee is the cure for the common cold!
By the way, someone out there that I just adore will soon be receiving a special surprise and here is a hint......

(Only kiddin').
How are the sickies doing today?
Give them all my love and keep the caffeine flowing. I am a believer- hence the name Kuppa Joe (it does the body good).
