While Joe's Away: WHAT NEXT???

Since Joe left, which has only been a month, we have had the cold that lasted a good solid two weeks, the girls had strep (of course staggered) and now Melody and it looks like Bethany is starting to get it too, they have hand foot and mouth disease. They will be contagious for the next couple of weeks. So, out of the 6 weeks that Joe will be gone, we will have been confined to the house 5 of those weeks. So I ask.... what next?
At least the girls got their appetites back today! They ate good at their meals. Here are a few pictures from today. Bethany woke up about an hour before Melody, so we hung out and played. She woke up around 6 and Melody around 7. They slept the whole night!
Here is a clip of Bethany playing:

Here Bethany is telling me about her bug bites:

The girls are getting ready to take their medicine. Since their throat does not hurt any more, they like to take their medicine.

The girls were reading a book with a rainbow in it. They made me sing the rainbow song they learned at story time. Of course I don't know many of the words and I have no rhythm.

If you look closely, you can see the rash/blisters around Melody's mouth.

She has them up her legs, a few on her bottom, and only a couple on her hands. The paperwork made it seem that the rash they get within the first two days is what they will have before it starts to go away around day 5-7. I hope that is the case since hers are not too bad. I saw pictures on the Internet of some nasty blisters. She doesn't seem to have any in the mouth either. Hopefully Bethany does not get it bad either.
