My Lunch Hour Well Spent

Emma & Cate have had a lingering cough / cold on and off for the past few weeks now and they didn't really seem to be getting better. It was also partly my fault as I was home medicating them with off the shelf medication mainly cos I'd been so swamped with work. Friday last week, despite my undiminishing pile of work, I decided enough was enough and decided to take them to the doc's. Between the 2 of them, I spent almost $500 on medication! :O (I told you I should have been a pediatrician)

Anyway despite them being MUCH better today, I decided to keep them home anyway. In fact, to anyone else who saw them, they would be considered perfectly healthy. I was not going to be fooled though. I had let them go back to school after all the symptons had disappeared only to find that they would come home poorly again. This time, I was going to keep them home JUST IN CASE. This way I can also personally ensure long afternoon naps.

During my lunch hour, I decided to take them out to lunch. McD's. I know,.... what am I doing taking my sick children to eat fried, transfat,.... but like I said,... they were really well, PLUS I was craving some McDonald's which I hadn't had in a while.

They had SO MUCH FUN, I felt almost guilty taking them out of school. Check out the happy faces below. Cate with her very rare Apple Juice, Ems with her Hello Kitty Happy Meal toy.

My lunch hour well spent.
