Spring Break Post #2

Days two and three of spring break have consisted of Anna getting over a stomach bug. Yes, that's right, she got 'sick' Monday afternoon. We took it easy for most of the day Tuesday, so when I went out for a run (don't worry folks, I ran on the dead end street in front of the house), I figured it'd be ok for all the girls to play in the yard. Anna needed some sunlight, or so I thought. After my run, we just sat in the yard. I ran in to the house for something, and when I came back out, Warren was home. We chatted for a few then came inside for supper. (I SWEAR, I am in love with my crock pot. It has been used more in the six months we've lived here than in our entire married life!) Ha!

Didn't think Anna needed anything heavy, so we gave her some chicken noodle soup and crackers. She ate about three crackers and a spoonful of broth. After a few minutes, while the rest of us are finishing eating, Anna announces her tummy hurts. Oh boy! She did make it to the bathroom but did need a shower afterwards.

So far so good today, but bless her, she hasn't eaten much of anything. She seems to be better or maybe just bored, but she has had a bit more energy today.

Sorry for grossing out any of my readers (if there are any of you left), but I just thought I'd chronicle our week.

The biggest bummer about Nanner being sick is that we had to cancel out on a trip to the Memphis Zoo with some friends. They've posted some pics to FaceBook and it looks like they're having fun. And what a great day weather wise!!! Maybe next time...

Spring Break!

Well, today is the first official day of Spring Break. The girls woke up wondering where Daddy was; they just don't understand why he doesn't get a spring break. I know he wishes he did!

We don't have much planned this week. I think we are gonna head to the zoo one day with some friends from church. Too bad today has been rainy. If we have to stay cooped up inside, I'm gonna need to be medicated.

Will try to post a bit of our goings on this week!

Happy Spring Break to all of you who actually get to have the week off! ;)

Reese's 9th Birthday Party!!!!

Our precious big girl turned NINE on January 26, but due to MSU basketball, we couldn't get the pool at State until February 18. So, that's when we celebrated her birthday with a party!!! We had her party there last year, too, and I highly recommend it. It is a great way for kiddos with winter birthdays to have a pool party. I realize it is now March, but better late than never to blog about it, right?

I cannot believe she's already nine. Time has really flown by. She is not a baby or even a little girl anymore. She really is a big girl now.

Having fun with friends in the pool!

Being a ham for mama and the camera!

Presents!!!!



Sweet friends!

Our darling Ada girl came to party with us. We hadn't seen her since September. It had been waaaaay too long. Poor thing wasn't feeling well that day, but cake always makes things better, right?

I am so proud of my big girl. She has transitioned to our new town and her new school fabulously. She had all A's the last two grading periods. Way to go Reesie!

The Manning 5! I love my girls and my boy. I am truly blessed to call them all mine.

One tired big girl on the road home. That balloon made a good pillow. ;)
