I think I jinxed it by saying my kids never get sick because we ended up with two down for the count this past week. Maggie was absolutely devastated to lose her perfect attendance streak (since second semester kindergarten!) with one day at home with a tummy ache. Tuttle had it the worst with three days out and the suspected flu. I never took him to the doctor because he had the flu shot and his fever never went above 100, but he was very pathetic all week and slept a lot.
By Friday Tuttle returned to the world of the living and was buried in makeup work. Fourth grade does not play around!
Maggie returned to gym on Friday for her last practice in the Brookhaven gym. In one week we will be in our new Prado location!
We tried a new family activity on Saturday and took everyone to the gym. Jay and I worked out for an hour while the kids hung out in the play area and lobby. Then we went for a swim in the pool. I was a little nervous to showcase Jacob's swim skills after over a year in lessons, but that boy OWNED the pool. We now can eliminate a Puddle Jumper from our house. All three kids are fish!
Our final day of the weekend was filled with celebration for my cousin Anne and her upcoming wedding. Matt already feels like a part of the family, but we loved showering the bride-to-be. Gram hosted at her home, and she knows how to throw a shower. I love her commitment to a classic southern party complete with homemade chicken salad, cheese straws, and Grandma's fruit salad. We cannot wait for the big day in March in Athens!
On a side note after almost 12 years in the family, Cat finally earned a room of his own. It also includes a heated bed. He is living the life and does not have to shoot Rosie dirty looks through the window while she is snuggled up by the fire anymore. :)
