I Surrender!
Goodness! The last few weeks have been crazy!
We celebrated my birthday and Papa's birthday on the 6th, It was fun, we enjoyed a delicious cake that Nana made and it was great having family around. It's hard to believe that I am 34. Most days I feel like I am still in my 20s. On bad days I feel ancient.
The 7th we went over to Nana and Papa's and chopped firewood along with my brother's family. The girls and my brother's boys helped while the little boys played in the play yard. They got alot of wood cut up and it should be enough for at least the rest of the winter.
While the guys were doing the wood, I checked out an old wooden file cabinet that is in the old barn and we have decided we are going to clean it up and fix it. It's missing a side but it's just 1/4 inch board, so pretty easy to replace. It will need to be sanded and the veneer fixed. Then a coat of paint and it will be PERFECT! I love reusing old furniture that is built well.
When I got back up to the house and about the time the guys were finishing up I found a swingset on Craigslist for FREE. It had never fully been put together and it is huge! (2 swings, star cruiser, glider, sit and spin, and a slide.) The boys love it! God has provided once again!
Saturday night Micah seemed to not be feeling well and we thought he had wind burn on his face until we took his temp. It was 102.7 but he wasn't complaining of anything else. Sunday he was pookey, and was developing a red polka dot rash. Monday I took him in to the doctor along with Benji. Micah had full blown strep with scarlatina. Thankfully Benji just had a sinus/ear infection. It took till Thursday for Micah to be able to go back to school. He was so upset he missed the 100th day of school.
Benji had his Valentine's party at school on the 12th. Which meant while Micah was home sick I got to make cookies and valentines.
Micah and Josh had their parties on the 13th. Josh's teacher had sent a note to not send anything but Valentine's and the classroom mom for Micah's class asked me to make cookies.
I was very thankful that Jeff helped with the cookies. I will have to share the recipe later. He is so wonderful!
Britt made the softball team. Tryouts were the 5th and 6th. She's on Junior Varsity, but it's good since only 4 6th graders made it. (plus she's the youngest on the team being only 11) Her practices are keeping me busy. 3-5 M-F. It's worth it though. And it looks like she's playing catcher this year.
Everything else is just busy. Trying to get adjustments to schedules down.
Dental visits went well. No cavities in any of the 6. 1 kiddo needs to brush their teeth more and we need to think about braces with her. 1 kiddo is looking at having to have an appliance put in because he won't stop sucking his thumb and it's curving the jaw bone.
So much for a quick update huh? LOL
