Origami

Micah taught Scout how to make ninja stars out of paper.  And apparently, he thinks class is an appropriate place to make them.  How awesome is his teacher, that when she caught him in the act, she told him to wait after school….so she could teach him how to make a piano.

Hit Hard

Two days later, and this girl is still sick as a dog.
Scout is out of the woods, Dash and Navy are still not 100%, but this girl is down and out.
I guess the first time you ever get sick, with no antibodies in tow, it’s going to be a doozie.

Double Ups

We call these double-ups around here.

Rainbow Toast

Look who’s feeling better!

And he said Rainbow Toast was the best medicine.

Three Sick Beds

Scout wasn’t feeling too hot yesterday, and then there were three.

Tweedle Dee.

Tweedle Dum.

And Frick.
(Frack hasn’t woken up yet…but we are probably doomed with her as well.)
-
The good news — Tweedle Dee is on the mend already, so I am hoping for a 24 hour bug.

UPDATE
Frack woke up!

She was a little dazed and confused, but seemed pretty good.

Until my non-cuddler got in my arms and put her head down for five minutes straight.

Make that 4 sick beds!

Comfy

As I went to kiss Scout before I went to bed, I noticed him in quite the comfy position!
With all of his blankets around his legs, I think he was just trying to stay warm!

Unbroken

img_4986-2014-12-16-at-15-45-20.jpg
I loved the book, and so Micah found these tickets to a special screening of Unbroken for me.
Merry Christmas to me!
It was the funnest night!
We had dinner, then went to the screening, then the best part — we got to ask questions of the children of Louis Zamperini and the producer of the film.
It was awesome, fascinating and fun all rolled into one!
Micah always gives me the best presents, but this is at the top of my list!

Puppet Show

Dash and I made some puppets this morning.

It was perfect, because he entertained Pippi while she was eating her eggs…which allowed me to get the dishwasher emptied without extra, unsolicited, help.

Christmas Sunset

On our way to go look at Christmas lights with the Seastrands, we stopped at the most amazing sunset for a quick kid pic.

Micah’s Soccer

img_4978-2014-12-13-at-18-43-26.jpg
Just a freezing cold Saturday night out at the soccer field.
#28 was fun to watch.

While #1 and #3 were having fun with the other kids.
#4 was in the car sleeping.
And #2 — she was MIA.
