Down for the count

How on earth do we end up with colds on the second day of school and in the summer ? Oldest fought one last week at camp and now it seems the rest of us have acquired it. Thankfully, youngest was able to pull through and still do his school work and oldest is feeling better. Mom and Dad will trudge on. There is a birthday here on Thursday. I hope we are all better by then! Youngest is turning double digits and definitely doesn't want to be unwell on his birthday.
