This past week is one I'm ready to be over with!
I had a sinus infection a couple weeks ago, which turned into something worse (at least it feels worse). Long story short, I saw my doctor twice this week, got two nebulizer treatments, 4 medications - two of which are inhalers (and a use your rescue inhaler if you still need to) and a diagnosis of "mild persistent asthmatic bronchitis." I hope I am on the mend from this because this is going to be a busy week and we are leaving town on Friday. Annndd as I write this, Shawn has been in bed since about 6 (and on the couch for the rest of the day) from some sort of stomach bug. He said it might be because he at like 6 pieces of pizza last night.
We are praying this ALL goes away soon!!
Despite my sickness, we went ahead with Caleb and Amelia's Roller Skating birthday party last night.
They both wanted to wear white so when they shut the lights out and turned the black light on, they would glow.
Some of our friends from down the street - Kyle, Carter and Ryan.
Some of Amelia's friends from her class - Antino, Hunter and A.J.
We had the entire place to ourselves, which was really nice.
I think all of the kids, and most of the parents, had a great time!
They even got in a little Limbo.
Getting even lower.
For some reason I love this picture, because I'm pretty sure it depicts her personality to a T. Her teacher told Shawn the other day that Amelia was going to be a teacher when she grows up….probably because she's pretty bossy:o).
Caleb's friend, Ollie, from his class.
He's thinking hard about blowing that candle out.
My totally easy gift bag idea….from Pinterest of course.
Instead of gifts for the kids, we asked that everyone bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Tots. We have a great stack of toys to donate….and some of their friends still brought presents for them, too.
I think you forget how fun roller skating can be once you get older. The kids had a blast, even though they were laying on the ground more than standing up. They both said, this was the best birthday ever!
