And back to Ace

Happy Thanksgiving first of all! We’ve had a nice time at home. The kids were all well enough to enjoy our meal of turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, watergate salad, and green beans. They all ate without complaining and even got some apple cake for dessert. After lunch, we headed out to get our Christmas tree in anticipation of being out of town this weekend for dad’s football game and visiting family.

However, after naptime, Ace started looking puny and his temp was going back up. Needless to say, our plans have changed and we’ll enjoy a weekend at home getting the house ready for Christmas and finishing up “the girls’ room” for Zoe and Ceili Rain (except when I went to Micheal’s this evening, I couldn’t find three ‘i’s for her name on the door…that’ll come later).

We’re flexible and pretty much used to someone getting sick on the holidays…so it’s not that big a deal.

I hate missing my dad’s game. If they win, this will be his 300th career win. This is also the team that knocked them out of the playoffs in the quaterfinals and this is the quarterfinals. It should be a really good game and a good challenge for his team. I told my mom to call me after every quarter so we can keep up with the score! I’m also going to try and find a way to listen on line. Ain’t the internet great!!?

You know it’s a holiday when…

one of my kids is sick!! This long standing tradition on my side of the family to have at least one child sick. I’ve inherited this tradition it seems.

So, it’s Ace’s turn. He woke up a little groggy and still but perked up through our pillow diving event and then went back down hill. No fever until right at bedtime. I knew he wasn’t feeling good when he didn’t care to see the pictures in our Little House book. He also climbed into bed and went to sleep during family worship.

Poor guy…I’ll keep everyone posted.
