To Sum it Up

To say that this past week has been crazy feels like an understatement. It started with me getting the stomach flu on Friday and ending up in the ER...and as the nurse said, some fluids and meds go a long way. It allowed me to rally and show up at four friends market on Saturday. Of course, I wasn't fully better and didn't even start eating again until Monday. Then Ian got sick. Not the flu, but more of an extreme exhaustion. On Monday night, Connor got the stomach flu and threw up every 30 minutes to hour all.night.long. This kind of threw off my whole week. I went into sanitizing mode and literally cleaned everything in my house to stop the spread, after all, it's Isla's birthday week. Then, I worked in both kids classes all morning on Wednesday. Yesterday, Callum woke for the day at almost 5am (so still in the 4:00 hour) and NEVER NAPPED. Needless to say, yesterday was fun. But today. Today is Isla's birthday!!! Woot, woot! So we rally. She has a school celebration in the morning and her grandparents are coming over for dinner. Then, her party is tomorrow morning. It's a mani-pedi party at a local salon. Should be nice and girly and lots of fun. Enough about my crazy week. 

Here's some things I came across this week:

If I wanted to spend a lot of money, I would buy one of these dresses. 

Hilarious parent tweets. 

Average grocery bills. I always find this kind of thing fascinating. 

"Body safety" tips for kids. I found this full of great ideas. 

And if you are sarcastic and want a good laugh about motherhood, look up Sanctimommy on facebook. Amazing. 

Alright folks, have a great weekend! We will be celebrating an adorable six year old, so it should be a good one over here.

Connor got in on the picture taking action this week. In fact, he was the official button presser/runner into photos. He did a great job. It was funny watching the camera move around as he tried to press the button hard enough. Then once he got the timer on, he would get so excited, come running over and slide into my lap. I have to admit, I think this little picture taking challenge is making for some cute and fun memories with my kids.

This week:

• I learned about buying chicken & meat in bulk. I am totally thinking about doing it. 
• Connor keeps complaining that his feet hurt. I am guessing that means his shoes are getting too small and it is time we go shoe shopping.
• Connor told me the sky was full of snow. I explained that those are called clouds. He said "no mama, the clouds are sleeping. That is snow." How could I argue with that?!
• Isla has learned to use the step stool to reach things on the counter. Awesome. Now nothing is safe. 
• I was reminded that sometimes the simple act of giving someone a hug blesses them more than we know.
• I really want a good rain to come so Connor and I can go out and play in it.
