Mom's Mardi Gras

Well, we've almost made flying solo without Jamie for the weekend. He went home to ride in the Joe Cain parade as he does every year. Saturday we went to the zoo and invited ourselves over to Scott and Kandi's for dinner. THANK YOU SCOTT AND KANDI FOR ADULT TIME! Sunday Carmen spent her first Sunday in daycare while I taught Aquiles and Alicia's class. Then we went to MacDonald's for lunch. The kids bought their own lunch with money they received from Grandma Holmes for Valentine's. Thanks Grandma! After lunch, we headed to Comanche state park and took the hiking (not much of a hike, more of a nature walk) trail to the library where the kids checked out books. Things got crazy after that trying to cook dinner and all the other things that need to be done. All in all things have gone smoothly; I just have to make it through tomorrow morning. Jamie comes home tomorrow afternoon.

Looks like we've made it!

Well thank God the past week is over! It was long, sick and disgusting. First Aquiles came down with a fever on Saturday and missed school Mon and Tues. His fever spiked to 103.5 and then Alicia did the same thing and stayed home Tues and Wed. The kids then had another fever Friday night/Saturday morning and yesterday was the first day they have had some energy. Aquiles came home from school Wed, Thurs and Fri and went to sleep straight away. To make life more interesting, Jamie and I contracted a disgusting flu virus (I believe the illnesses are all connected) and we were nonfunctional Sat and a good majority of Sunday. It was so bad that we had to call Anne and she came and took Carmen until late Sunday. Scott brought the kids food and drink and Kandi took over Sunday School. We are extremely grateful to our support group here and also that Carmen has not gotten sick!

Super Bowl Party or a bunch of weirdos?

We had a great time Super Bowl Sunday. First we played a game of kickball and then headed home for a Super Bowl Party. Everyone brought great food, but the company was the best!
