Ever heard of Fifth's disease?

Well we sure have! There was some sort of an outbreak at school - and I was terrified of the name alone, it sounds serious! But they sent home a notice describing the symptoms, which pretty much are cold symptoms for a week (this is when they are contagious), then the next week they get a splotchy rash all over their body, and their cheeks turn bright red. So you pretty much have no idea your child has it until the rash appears, but by that time they are no longer contagious - they probably spread all the germs the week before when you thought they just had a cold!

Tris was the first at our house to get it, here he is with red cheeks and splotchy legs, although you can't see it very well in these pictures. All the other kids, except Reese ended up getting it too.
