...Brought to you by the Letter "S"...

The past few days were filled with events and issues that started with "S"....and it was either unreal or I've been doing too many "letter of the week" activities with Ava for kindergarten!

We started our "S" adventure with Ava waking me up Thursday night not feeling well. I hugged her and said 'go back to bed'; only to realize what I had done hours later when I vaguely remembered her waking me up. :( She had a fever...she was SICK. This photo below was taken last November at the Dells--this is how she looked this past week:

But Ava wasn't the only Sick child....Jayna had a Sick event of her own--Friday night she woke me up minutes after I fell asleep...only to proceed to throw up every 40-60 minutes all night long. Jayna was Super though, as she Surprised us all by hitting the throw up bucket each and every time. Sweet.

However, Jayna being Sick meant that most of the family missed Andy's Mom's Surprise party on Saturday! She turned Sixty--and Andy and Ellie attended together for the day. This is the one photo I have of them:

On Superbowl Sunday, we were no longer considered 'Sick'...and Andy made a Snow maze with his Snowblower in our yard! What a Slick idea to allow Colin to Spend time in the Snow.

Since it was the Superbowl, we Started our morning with green/gold waffles that were Scrumptious and the children Sported their Packer Shirts. While I Scrambled to the grocery Store, Andy had a "Go Pack Go" photo Shoot...the kids loved it!

Shortly after the photo Shoot, Andy's cousin and her family arrived for the afternoon; they were in town to see Wicked at the PAC. We had a Super time with them and Andy Surprised us all by bringing out his Star Wars figures and his old Transformers. We enjoyed some Sweet food and the kids played, creating Sounds of Sharing.

Then, we Started our Monday with Ellie complaining of tooth pain; it looked like a cracked tooth...and turned out to be a NEW tooth! In addition, Jayna's new braces' wire is too long, poking the back of her mouth with a Super Sharp wire. She is being a Super trooper, waiting until we can get her into the orthodontist. Andy handled all of these issues with Stamina as the mouth issues all occurred as I was going to the hospital for Surgery.

Our Shananigans Seem to be Slowing down though; I am Sore and we are Super happy that we can move onto a new "letter" in the weeks to come....Shhhh... ♥
