Sad news

Well we had such a fun day on Monday, well Wednesday brings another story.  Z woke up today on her 16th month birthday with a 102 degree fever and it just went up each hour.  I called the Doc and we could not go in until 3 so she slept on my chest most all day.  Eating very little and drinking just a little milk, I was a stress case.  After a couple hours at the Doc getting blood taken, swabbed, ears, mouth, and lungs check my little girl has the flu.  :(

I am really hoping tomorrow will bring a little more health to my little one.  Watching her vomit took all I had not to cry, so I could be strong for her.

Also to boot, we had to hide in a closet for a while.  A huge storm come through and the Tornado sirens went off for about an hour.

It only rained for maybe 10-15 minutes and this is a few minutes after it stopped.

Perfect Toddler Day

Today was a "Best Day Ever".  We started the day playing with Blu in the backyard.  Poor old Blu he has so much patience with the girls.  The it was inside to mess up the playroom, we figured we would get that task out of the way early.  Then we had a little more running around outside before lunch.  They cleaned there plates and even went after the spilled food.  

After lunch they took slept for 2 and a half hours!  Yay!

We raked some leaves in the front yard for a little bit before heading down the street for a playdate.  We walked down to see Tripp and check out his Trampoline.   They had a blast.

When we got home it was time for some Pirate Booty and some "The Animal Song" on Youtube, accompanied by dancing.

Loving the Spring like weather.

We headed up to Mammoth Cave on Sunday for a hike.  Its been sunny and in the 60's so perfect for a nice walk in the woods.  Zoë has been on a good amount of hikes but she has alway rode in the backpack.  On Sunday she made it a good ways then just sat down.  The end of the trail was a few hundred steps and she did all of them!

Saving some picnic for later.

Big Girl!

This photo makes me happy more then I ever thought possible

The hike made her sleepy.

Super Bowl!

Zoë and I were very excited for the Super Bowl half-time show with Madonna so she dressed in old school Madonna style.

No Flash Mama

Last Day of School.

Since I lost my job we had to take Z out of her school that she loves so much.  I kept telling her that she only would be going a few more days and I wished that she understood on the last day that she would not see her teacher for a while or her buddies.  When it came time for me to pick her up for the last time she was not interested in long goodbyes she as usual saw me and headed for the door.  So in the photos I snapped she was kinda cranky.

I am hoping we can send her back next year at least one day a week.
