Week In Review

Daddy is home after a 12 day trip for work. He's home long enough to drop off laundry and head out again for a shorter jaunt next week. These trips come up a few times a year. We dread them and I'm looking forward to having him home for good. 

And I'm looking forward to this plans this weekend that definitely include a babysitter!

All I can say is TGIF!

Here's our week in a nutshell-

Monday- SNOW DAY, Mommy stomach flu
Tuesday- Big Brother gets dropped off in the ice and snow while it's 9 degrees.
               Comes home from school with a fever.
Wednesday- Big Brother stays home with fever and cough/congestion
Thursday- Big Brother home again- fever and congestion.
                 Daddy returns home from 12-day work trip...
                 Little Brother's fish dies
Friday- Verbally attacked by Fish Nazi at Petsmart and denied the ability to buy a replacement fish!

This is our cute fish tank that I've been told is a toxic environment and full of horrible chemicals that created an ecosystem incompatible to life- or something like that!


Since we couldn't leave the house for a good 4 days straight, there was lots of this:

(He's not the only one- but really the only one that is cute enough to share on here when he melts down. My meltdowns are definitely not "blog-worthy!")

And lots of finding activities to keep the troops happy:

A toilet paper roll castle we made for the Star Wars guys. Pretty cute!

and a lot of messes!

We survived! Looking forward to a little R&R and family time this weekend! Have a good one!
