Weekend Wrap-Up...

This weekend, we enjoyed our intermission from sickness here in the SPH... sort of.

Tyler did not go to work Friday- he came home from work Thursday very sick with the same cold/cough/fever/body aches thing that everyone else has been fighting. When he gets sick, he gets sick. Are you husbands like that? He was burning up, delirious, and could hardly move. He probably slept 12+ hours and felt relatively refreshed when he woke up later on Friday.

Sassy was feeling better (or so we thought...), so I took the girls to story time at the library, Sassy returned to school, and we even took the girls to see Toy Story 3 at free movie night. I hadn't seen it yet, and yes, it made me a little misty-eyed at the end. What can I say?

In between all the fun, we did a little bit of this...



Yep, the return of medicine fish. Or dinosaur. Or dragon. Or whatever he may be. To us, he's medicine fish.

Poor Tink just couldn't kick this virus without her lungs taking a licking. We were optimistic that we would make it through a winter season without the darned nebulizer, but it wasn't in the cards for us. I feel blessed, though, that we made it this long without it! Tink in handling her treatments much better this year now that she is a bit older.



And, not without the help of books. Many, many books...



And awesome custom I-Spy bags made for us by Shannon, who is super talented and you should definitely check with her for neat things like this!



Tyler returned to work Saturday, and I took the girls to meet some friends at the Wichita Children's Theatre & Dance Center for their production of Cuddle Bears. The girls enjoyed some pizza and chatting with pals...



...and some cuddling with their own aminals...



... and a rousing performance of the show. Yeah, it was special, all right...



But, it was fun for the girls, and that's why we went. We returned home, had nap/quiet time, and then I dropped the girls off at the high school for a parents night out from 4-8 pm! Woo hoo!

Tyler met Tom, Lynzee, and I at Playa Azul for dinner and then we went to their house to play Scattergories and A-Z. It was really, really nice to have some adult time and conversation!

Sunday morning, it was back to being sick. Drat! Sassy woke up with a fever, and spent most of the day lounging around. We did some grocery shopping and some house cleaning, and that's about it. Oh, and Sassy painstakingly wrote out her valentine's cards for her classmates that she was to bring to her Valentine's Day party the next day (that was not to be, unfortunately...)



So, that was our weekend, in a nutshell. More about our Valentine's Day bust to come...
