Happy Birthday Mom!!!
Today would have been my mother's birthday. I hope she is looking down on us and knows that we miss her oh so much. I hope that she knows how much she meant and still means to me! She was such a terrific person and a super mother! Miss you very much! Love you always!!!
So Hunt is still got a cough and some congestion. I'm on the fence about taking him to the pediatrician. Especially since one of his class mate's mothers took her son to the dr with a cough, only to be told they needed to continue with over the counter meds...no prescriptions needed. And in the past we have been told the same!
So for now I guess we will continue with our over the counter types. He hasn't ran a fever at all or anything like that, it's just the cough and congestion...oh and that wonderful hacking up mucus sound!
I did send him back to school last Friday and again today.
The rest of last week, other than Friday, was spent at home playing slap jack, spanish bingo, candy land and a few other games. We've also been finishing up the Thanksgiving lapbook, which I'll share with you when complete. Hunt and I watched one of the traditional holiday movies...a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
Daddy went to the lake house with Ken for the weekend, so the two young'uns and I made a few stores to pick up some stuff for Christmas gifts I'm making. And fabric and material for Emma's Thanksgiving dress and hairband/bow. I found a sale on some baskets which we needed so badly for our books to go in.
I also have to share this....
How many of you have more than enough on your plate, but still seem to keep adding to it? Like crafts or art projects. Maybe it's just me then! To start out with I have Hunt-4 and Emma-itty bitty. That alone is enough to drive you crazy sometimes!
