Rock Around the Clock

There's a lot of fun to be had when you have/had the chicken pox.
Fox example, some dancing:



Or, other ways to pass the time:
Dress in your dad's shirts...
Eat cookies with milk.
Draw yourself with your friends
Make "ESTELIOTT" playdough characters...
Have endless "Galette de Roi" parties. (Estelle has been to 3 already and missed 2 others due to the pox). Here we are at Xavier and Valerie's villa on Sunday... notice my American brownies next to Valerie's homemade Galette de Roi (Frangipan) and the traditional bottle of cider with bowls.



More fun: Make your own King crown to go with your King Cake.
Eat mini ice-cream comes to sooth the pox on the roof of your mouth:

Go to the park with Eliott.
Other fun things to do - watch Eliott's dad Arnaud throw himself down a chute slide in an effort to convince Eliott to do it. Estelle needed no persuasion.
Commandeer an airplane.
Eliott drives a jeep.


In other words, chicken pox didn't slow her down....just us! All is well now and we are back to normal after coming thru what we realize was a VERY mild case. It was just the fever before that was awful.

Glad to hear that Estelle is over her chicken pox and that life has returned to normal.

She looks like she had lots of fun during her pox!

I have a question- did Estelle draw those people on the Etch-a-Sketch toy? If so, that's amazing...!
Congrats for coming through on the other side of the "POX"- hope it was a severe ENOUGH case......How are you feeling, Julie?

I don't remember the chicken pox as being so much fun.

The photo of Estelle with the magnadoodle drawing is funny. It looks like she's really telling a story about it.

Glad she's feeling better.

Adorable!! Glad it wasn't too bad a case...sounds like the lead up fever was worse than the pox itself. Seeing all those pics and dancing just makes me miss her!!
