Month: February 2018

Ajax was well enough to go to school today (he’d been fever free for 2 days and had an appetite again).  He was also starting to go a bit stir crazy in the house.  While being sick his main concern was that he wouldn’t be able to attend his class party today. Well crisis averted!  Noomi was also happy that Ajax was feeling better as she was concerned about him being home sick.

I drove the kids to school since both had morning parties.  Ajax’s party was first. I’ve been a bit busy so I cheated and bought frozen, fully cooked sausage.  I threw them in the crockpot this morning and then we were out the door.  Ajax’s party was very nice, the kids were all polite and ate a ton.  Afterwards, I went to Noomi’s party and her’s was also an adorable party.

After her party I did a bit of PTSA work and then was able to have lunch with both kids.  I was worried I would embarrass Ajax so I asked if it was ok if I had lunch with him, if he wanted me to stay. And he enthusiastically said yes he wanted me to stay and no he wasn’t embarrassed.   Noomi’s young enough where I wasn’t worried about embarrassing her.  As a matter of fact we had difficulty because all the kids wanted to sit next to me, so I ended up squatting behind Noomi’s chair so that I could talk to everyone.

I had some treats for the kids when they got home and then an easy spaghetti dinner (their favorite).  Dave was late getting home as he had to go pick up over 100 Girl Scout cookies.  Should be lots of fun distributing them!

Weekend roundup.

Last week, Ajax stayed the night over his friends house.  Noomi was a bit out of sorts without her brother, but she enjoyed staying up late with us and watching TV (she also had a friend’s birthday party the following day so that helped even things out).  Ajax did great at his friend’s and we picked him up in the morning before swim class.  Both kids did great at swim class.  Ajax is continuing to advance with his strokes, and Noomi advanced to the next class.

This past week the kids had 2 snow days.  Two.   We’re finally getting a real winter and it’s been a while.  The kids have enjoyed all the snow and sledding, though Noomi keeps losing her gloves.

Today, I took Noomi with her girl scout troop to the Breslin Center to see an MSU Women’s basketball game.  We weren’t quite sure what to expect, but we ended up having a great time.   When we got home, Ajax had a 104 temperature, so I took him to Urgent Care and the Doctor confirmed it was the flu. First time we’ve had the flu at our house!  So Dave bought him ice cream and red Gatorade, and it looks like he’s going to have a week home on the couch.  Ajax is quite bummed as he may miss his Valentine’s Day party this week.  We’ll see how he does poor little guy.
