Man it was great having 5 full days away from work, with the kids and just taking our time honestly. We didn't rush to anything, which was great.
Kids were off school Wednesday through Friday... Wednesday they were a little bored, but in the afternoon, Kayson had a few friends over. The weather was great, so they played basketball for a couple hours. I know he enjoyed that. Cora and I kept busy doing this and that... then unfortunately Wednesday evening she started getting really quiet and tired. She was running a low fever. So weird!!! We just took it easy, pumped her with meds and she slept.
Thursday was Thanksgiving Day - Cora woke with a fever still, but lower than Wednesday night. We decided to go to my sisters, and she just sat all day... kept away from everyone. The whole time, she said she felt fine, just tired. Her fever hovered at 99 all day. But regardless, she did well... and the rest of us enjoyed our time with the Hardy family. There's always plenty of laughs there... it's just funny how much we laugh! ah. We headed home about supper time... hit the sack and Friday was a new day.
Friday --- Cora was completely fever free, and was back to herself by late morning... sassy and dancing around. I mean how weird is that? I don't know what the heck that was.
Anyway, Friday we just hung out and it was great. We got the Christmas decor out and the two trees. Cora was a huge help, which I enjoyed. The weather was great too... so we went for walks, and just enjoyed the day. Friday night Cora had a birthday party to go to in Ankeny... she begged to go, and we let her as she was acting fine. It was a dance friend's party, so we rode with Michelle and Cora A to save a trip... Michelle and I grabbed supper and walked around Target for a bit while the girls were at the party. It was a very nice night.
And then all of the sudden it was the weekend - those three days went fast! We headed to Creston, as Blair and Martina and kids were there for the day. We had lunch and the kids played and played. Again, great weather, so I think the boys were outside most of the time. Fun with those kiddos.
We headed home late afternoon and just chilled Saturday night.
Sunday the kids and I went to Sunday School... then back home and did our normal Sunday things. It was a nice day and somewhat went slow.
Overall, great 5 day weekend... it was nice to have a little break. Now we have just about 3 1/2 weeks until Christmas! The kids have a ton of time off for Winter break, so I'll figure out some time off for me and hope to have another nice little break.
