Another sick day, though it seems she’s on the mend:) Meryl has luxuriated in her solo-kid-hanging-out-at-home lifestyle…using scissors and markers with abandon. She made pumpkin window art yesterday and pumpkin necklaces today.

We might be getting too good at this. Practicing is the journey after all, though I’d rather not have to practice this much. Meryl was the next to stay home sick, so off we went to the testing site today. With any luck, she’ll return to class just in time to get tested again at school this week:)

We figured we might as well get hot chocolate on the way home:)

Fishing, reading, sleeping…with Red!

Ode to our health!

Happy Bat Mitzvah, Ruby!

YES! We took it easy today to hopefully knock our colds and promised the kids a movie tonight before dinner. And when Meryl asked to watch Mary Poppins, I literally jumped up and thought it was just the spoon full of sugar we all needed:) And cheeseburger pasta. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

We made it to Friday!

We took advantage of one of the last good weather nights to grill and eat outside. Meryl’s pizza (play) dough was never cooked in favor of an end of week kneading need:) Holmes’ dough barely made it to the grill.

#1 meal preparer can’t be beat:)

A big Thursday was had by one:)
