Our Thursdays

Normally, Thursdays are great. All the kids go to MDO from 9:30 - 1:00 & I run errands or work on the computer (really - I do work on the books!). However, this has been a day. Poor Will woke up sick at 4:00 a.m. & Claire got up at 6:00 b/c she could not go back to sleep b/c she saw a skunk in her room (?). Faith got up at her normal time, 6:45 a.m. & made herself a waffle & watched Curious George while I held a crying, feverish baby. Craig? He was at the store b/c we ran out of wet wipes, which is a necessity. I held Will all morning & he finally took a nap about 11:30. Needless to say, it was a wacky day. The girls played Polly Pockets, Barbies, baby dolls & we played 2 games. At lunchtime, Craig brought us hamburgers & the girls were estatic. Faith wondered if it was ok b/c she did not have 20 stickers on her chart yet. I assured her that Daddy had prior approval. After lunch, Will woke up & he was sooo happy to eat but his fever set in again & he was fussy all afternoon. The girls had gymnastics so I took them & Craig stayed w/Will, normally I bring him b/c Craig has to work but he cancelled outreach due to major rain. I was so glad for his help! Gymnastics was from 5:30 -6:30 & then we went to Taco Bell (Yes my kids ate out 2x in a day, quite a record - Faith found this very exciting, she said it was her fave day of the summer??? what?!?!?!?) I told her I was so pleased that I had made her happy. She said the next best day would be our visit to the dentist next week & then our trip to Hot Springs. (think the 2 will compare?) The pics are of the girls are after Gymnastics & Will in his high chair (this pic is from last week but I thought I would post it b/c this is how he feels when I come home)...aren't I loved? All in all, it was still a great day :>)
