Coughing, sneezing, fevers, snoring, puffy eyes, runny noses, thermometers, and empty tissue boxes . . . these are a few of my least favorite things. Unfortunately, they have been all too prevalent this week in our home. All four kiddos have been quite under the weather. And, as if feeling like a sicko weren't enough, poor little Emerson had quite the run-in with our sofa table. Madeline was such a sweetie--comforting and consoling Little One.
Though our dispositions were dreary, our artwork was cheery! This week I stole a few minutes to doodle and create (I go crazy if I don't get in some "Mama art time" once in a while). We took a brief hiatus from our art curriculum; and, the girls worked on a "fall leaf" line drawing with markers. We also prepared canvases for a fall yarn art project that I hope to finish this week.
Madeline had a make-up soccer game on Thursday night. We all gathered on a blanket under the lights to watch her play. It was the perfect fall evening for a game. Soccer season officially drew to a close on Saturday. Both girls played hard (Hannah was pumped full of Ibuprofen,as she refused to miss her last game.) and enjoyed special celebrations with their teams.
We began our soccer season with a family meal at Chick-fil-A. So, we thought it would be fitting to end things the same way. After a devastating Gamecock football game, we picked up our heads and drowned our sorrows in some chicken . . . and sweet tea . . . and waffle fries. Yeah, nope . . . still pretty upset. Oh well, the chicken was good!
Please pray for a speedy recovery for my kiddos, as we have family arriving on Friday.
