It has been quite a while, I know I have a lot to catch up on ... I think I am going to post the current stuff and then backtrack a little in order to break it up into small manageable posts instead of one large post which will never get done. As expected Autumn has started fussing the moment I started typing hence the infrequent posting :)
All, except for Jace, had the stomach flu last week. Of course this has been going around our church for weeks but we conveniently decided to contract it during the busiest week of the month. We had something or other scheduled for everyday of that week (this week we have absolutely nothing!). Noah, silly clown that he is, came down with it during Jace's company Christmas party, after our long talk about being on our best behavior for Daddy and having good manners and not embarrassing him. That talk was effective!
Anyway, the party was at Main Event, a bowling alley, and Noah being very sick still beat all of us at our game of bowling! Noah has never thrown up before and he had the funniest look on his face before everything came up. Luckily, Noah is emotional but not at all dramatic like his sister. He threw up very quietly in a chair a couple of times and went about his business like nothing happened. When Jace questioned his coworkers about the event nobody had noticed a thing, even the people sitting right next to us! Praise God!
Our other exciting/interesting, if you can call it that :), event of the week was the baby doll birthday party we had 11PM last night. Ashlyn's cabbage patch, Skylar, turned 1 and she had been counting down the days till her birthday for a couple of weeks. We had been planning to put on her party clothes make her a cake and sing happy birthday. Unfortunately , due stomach flu, we had missed church which was my reminder of this momentous occasion. Ashlyn, of course, remembered it on the way home after a long day of cleaning, tiling and Christmas shopping. Jace and I had no choice but to oblige seeing as Ashlyn had had a thoroughly disappointing week overall - her bowling had been cut short, she had missed a long anticipated birthday party, and she had just recovered from the flu herself.
Noah, always wanting to emulate his sister, decided it was Suzie's birthday also. Suzie is his new favorite toy who he sleeps with and takes everywhere. She was my favourite doll from when I was little, was Ashlyn's favourite for a couple of years and has now been passed on to Noah who adores her profusely. We improvised a party with a birthday cookie, acquired from Friday's home school cookie exchange, with a candle placed in it :) We sang and took lots of pictures and promptly put the kids in bed!
That is about it for this week ... I'll do a belated Halloween and Thanksgiving post here shortly, Autumn permitting ...
