We had a very uneventful weekend, because most of it was spent just trying to get the kids to feel better. We had our first case of strep, and boy, is it rough. Poor Bennett was soooo sick. It came on rather quickly on Thursday, and by Friday he was in bad shape- fever, vomiting, and a horrible rash head to toe. Never once mentioned a sore throat. So thankful for the wonderful nurse at our pediatrician's office who had a feeling it may be strep and had me bring him in. The girls started with fever Friday night, but luckily we were able to get them all on antibiotics, which began helping immediately.



Today I took this big girl up to school to do some screening with her teacher. She posed in front of the school sign before we went in- so proud to be in elementary school now!!
(for safety purposes I don't plan on sharing her school name on the blog- you can never be too safe).
She was so excited to be back up there, and wishes she didn't have to wait a whole week for school to really start!!





We thought the last haircut was the worst hair cut ever. But this one definitely takes the cake. Poor Boss. Even he is embarrassed. My Mom best described him as one of those reindeer that people make out of logs, with the big heads and skinny, skinny legs. We had NO CLUE he was tiny under all of that fur. I swear he is invisible sideways!!!
He had some knots, so they had to shave him. Let's just say this is all the motivation we need to do a better job of brushing him!!!
We want our living teddy bear back! For now, he is a living cartoon character!

We plan to have a low key week this week just hanging out together, getting some last minute swimming in, trying to get rid of lingering coughs, and just hanging out before next week- when Elise will go to kindergarten!
