Last week

• Earlier last week we had a play date with our friends Addie and Sadie that live across the street.  Emma wanted them to have an American Girl doll party.  Here are the girls with their dolls.

Ava wanted to be included in everything they did.

• This didn’t happen last week, it actually happened before Christmas, but I hadn’t blogged about it.  Wesley got his yellow belt in Karate.  Way to go Wesley!

• It had been really cold, rainy, and just down right miserable weather last week.  The kids really miss playing outside when it’s like that.  Eric and I got the kids one of those cardboard playhouses that you color on in the hopes that it would keep them entertained.  It did not disappoint.  They love it!

It was fun, but it was kind of hard for a one and a half year old to understand that you can color on the walls and doors of a cardboard house, but not the wall and doors of the actual house.

Friday night I took Emma to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D.  She wanted to wear her Belle dress.

Ava came over to get in one of the pictures.  Cutie pie.

Emma and her prince.  We had gone to lunch with Eric earlier that day and after we dropped him back off at work, she said to me, “Mommy, Daddy is the sweetest prince in the world.”  I have to agree with her. ; )

It was such a fun time with my little girl.

• When I got home Friday night I was feeling really awful.  My throat had been hurting for a couple of days, and it was REALLY bad! I ended up going to The Little Clinic on Saturday and they gave me an antibiotic.  I’m hoping it kicks in soon and I will feel better.  Last night Emma started coughing and telling me she didn’t feel good.  I felt like crying.  We haven’t gone a week without someone in this house being sick since before Christmas!  I have only been to church once since Christmas.  I’m trying not to get discouraged, but would appreciate your prayers that we will all be 100% soon!
