The sickies!

So we said in an earlier post that early Valentine's morning Ashley woke up with a high fever.  Mommy took her to the doctor right away for convenient care hours only to learn her peds location didn't do that.  Well, lucky for us our pediatrician Dr. Oleyami saw us and said he would see us after a short wait.  Her strep test came back negative but she tested positive for Influenza A - so much for that flu shot LOL!  

We picked up a Rx for Tamiflu and went home to rest.  She only got a little Tamiflu in before throwing it up is we decided to forgo that medication.  Mommy intuition at hand, she would take Motrin though!  We had a great day working on projects, watching TV and playing games.  

She missed her Valentine's party at school but we were able to pick up her Valentine's when Mommy had to drop supplies off for Trevor's formal lunch.  Her friends are too sweet, all checking up on her and dropping off special treats!  

She stayed home Friday too.  When Mommy was showering to get ready for Trevor's etiquette lunch, Ashley fell asleep in our bed and slept for over 3 hours!  It did the trick because that was the last of her fever!  Her body really recovers amazingly fast.  Lucky girl! 

Trevor's Etiquette/Formal Lunch

A 3rd grade tradition is to take an etiquette class followed by a formal lunch around Valentine's Day to show-off what they learned.  Mommy headed up organizing the lunch for Trevor's class.  Turned out pretty cute and overall was a success!  They enjoyed a Sprite toast led by Mr. Johnson, appetizers, main course and dessert table.  They sat boy-girl and did a great job with pulling out the girls chairs and appropriate conversations and behavior.  All the parents were so proud!!!

Lucky duck Trevor got placed by his 'girlfriend' Stella who apparently is his 'wife' after a crazy week of playground shenanigans where they got 'married' LOLOLOLOL

Trevor and his buddy Carter!  So glad they got to have this experience!  Love our school!!!

Valentine's!

We celebrated Valentine's Day with the kids on the 13th because we don't have any activities on Wednesdays.  Thursdays are dance and hockey.  

Well we've been celebrating love a little bit every day when Mommy places a heart on their door.  One a day the 1st through the 14th!  Kids loved them!

The neatest thing though was when we got notes from the kids on our door too!!!

Kids loved their gifts!  All things Jojo Siwa, unicorns and rainbows for Ashley and a long-awaited scented donut pillow for Trevor and Krispy Kreme flavored jelly beans!

The kids gave us a large poster card that they made!  Heart melting :) 

Valentine's morning was a little chaotic - Ashley woke up at 2:00AM with a super high fever - thermometer (that runs hot) said 105.1.  YIKES!!!   So we knew she wasn't going to school in the morning and would be going to the doctor but we still got Trevor ready for his Valentine's Day.  He gave Mommy special Lego builds of a heart and a rose.  But Mommy could tell he was hoping to give the rose to his friend Stella at school so off he went.  Heart breaker :). 

First though we surprised the kids with tiny donuts that are specially made here at one of our favorite bakeries.  So yummy!

At the doctor we learned Ashley tested positive for Influenza A so no dance for her.  But we had another surprise for them before Trevor headed off to hockey - pizza cookies from our Clubhouse!

Praying Ashley feels better quickly!!!!  

Should have known! Sickness is coming!

Ashley was not having hockey today.  Not whatsoever!  Look at that scowl - so not like her!  

 We should have known that isn't like our happy girl, so something must have been up.  When we got home we took her temp and she had fever!  Called for napping on the couch - for Daddy too LOL

 Ashley is very good at listening to her body and resting when she needs to so she had a weekend of rest.  Her fever broke with a bath and never came back.  Wonder what that was about?

Trevor's U10 Squirt Hockey Team

Great group of players and coaches to help guide Trevor during his first hockey season!  Go IceHogs!

Ashley Starts Hockey!!

Ashley is not afraid to try anything so it came as no surprise when we asked her if she wanted to try the Dallas Star's Learn to Play hockey program like brother did last year, that she would say yes!!  She sure looked cute in her uniform!

 All smiles, ready to get on the ice!

 She scooted her way to where she wanted to go!  Smiling the whole way!

 She tried out her stick to shoot!  

 Completed drills!  She liked the falling one!  

 Trevor had his Squirts practice right after so we got a quick pic of our two little hockey players!  So proud of them for trying something new!!
