Sunday Snippets

Our Week in Review 

November 19-25

• Got a call from the school nurse saying Alivia had a fever of 101.  Apparently there is a bug flying around her school.  She's been lethargic all week.  She shared her germs with Isaac now I have two sick kids.
• Derik's car refused to start again.  Luckily his friend Ryan came over and they tinkered around and got it running again. 
• The kids and I put the Christmas trees up Friday afternoon.  I opted to go very simple this year.  Since most of our Christmas tree ornaments have been broken throughout the past 10 years and I refuse to buy more until I don't have toddlers, our trees are adorned with just a string or two of lights, but the kids love them just the same.  I often find Miss Alivia curled up under the front room tree.  She plugs in the lights and just lays there all day it's really sweet.

 

• I spent my weekend building a bed frame out of wood.  I'm just waiting for one more part to arrive in the mail, so that I can finish it up.  Dylan's friend came out in to the garage while I was sawing wood and asked my why I do all the hard work around the house.  It made me laugh.  I kindly tried to explain to him that I choose to do all the "hard stuff" because I think it's fun, not becasue Dylan's dad makes me! 
• Teeth are falling out all over the place here.  Alivia lost a tooth and has one that's on it's way out.  Dylan lost another tooth too. 
• The Mr. had the week off.  It's been nice to have him home, he and Isaac have had a ball playing catch, running around shooting each other with Nerf guns and getting slushies at Sonic. 
•  I had mentioned to Derik that I thought it was weird that I hadn't ever felt this baby hiccup.  Famous last words I guess, because it has been hiccuping like mad ever since. 
• I think it's to early to call it nesting, but I certainly have had the fire to get projects around the house done.  Now I need to really focus on freezing meals and actually preparing our home for another baby.
