Chicken Pox House - Day One

Guess who has the chicken pox?
Contrary to what it seems, Sawyer and Tristan do not. Yet. They are playing parts in an elaborate game that involves boats made out of pillows and phrases like "Are you awake, friend?"
Here she is! Chicken Pox girl. I anticipated the outbreak (from Todd's shingles) and had all the kids on 1000mg Vitamin C and Ambrotose for two weeks now. It seems it worked! It's a mild case. It started yesterday with "I don't feel good". Later that night small red bumps appeared the size of gnats. Within only an hour or two they were fluid filled tiny bumps the size of millet.
She slept well, and today was feeling well enough to do this:
Sawyer thinks playing puppets means joining the gang. Kiki and Tristan think playing puppets means biting Sawyer's squirrel as hard as they can.
Last night while Kiki slept, Daisy stayed by her side the whole time. She's a faithful, loyal, intuitive dog...
The boys woke up and started a game of "Guns".
You win if YOU see the other guy first.
"I got you!"
Later on it turned into "boats".
Which was fine except that Sawyer chose a Daisy toy as his oar.
Daisy! It made for a crowded foredeck.
