The Weekend

On Saturday, My SIL, Ellen, and I decided to take all the children to the zoo - it was a beautiful day and all the children were SO excited and had the BEST time!!!! At least 3-4 times, someone would stop either Ellen or I and ask if they were ALL ours - I guess 7 children 8 and under is a lot, but we think nothing of it!!!!

It was not crowded at all and the children LOVE animals!!!!

We got a good view of the giraffe - can you tell what the older 3 are doing?

They are taking pictures of everything with their DSi's!!!! Too funny!!!!

We took a train ride of course!!!




And then drove straight back to T-Town and went to Ellen and Will's parents' house for mine and Stan's (Ellen's husband) birthday dinner!!!!! The children went straight outside and played HARD - we CANNOT wait for spring!!!!!

It's obviously winter-time with all that static!!!!!




Wilson had on a costume at all times, as usual!!!!

Sunday morning we went to early church and left the children in the nursery, on our way back into the Children's building I was stopped by the preschool minister. Henderson was throwing up and had a fever!!! He was perfectly fine just an hour earlier when we dropped him off. We got him, worked out our other obligations (teaching a 2 year old class) and went home. By the time we got home, Henderson was even hotter and his temperature was 103.8. I put him straight to bed and he slept about 2 hours. After he woke up, it was down to 101.5 and he was a completely different child. They played outside all afternoon and he ate well, never vomiting again. By 10:00 that night, his fever shot back up to 104.2 and I gave him some T*lenol and he went back too sleep! He woke up this morning perfectly fine - who knows????!!!! Praise the Lord it wasn't anything worse!

I have enjoyed a day at home with the boys!!! Henderson slept in Wilson's big boy bed for his nap and never got up once!!!! He slept nearly 2 hours!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!! They are growing up WAY TOO FAST -I really don't have a baby anymore - so sad!!!!!

Tonight Emma Claire and I will be working on a poster for her Book Parade tomorrow at school! She is dressing up as Fancy Nancy - we'll see if she can walk in those high heels!!!! I hope to get lots of cute pictures!!!!
