Busy Week

It is one of those weeks where it's been go go go. Monday started out with getting Analise to school, and coming home to give the girls baths while I put my menu/grocery list together. I decided since it was a longer list we could go to Walmart. I don't go there as often anymore. We got home 11:45, so I began unpacking and making lunch at the same time. I then inhaled my food in order to make it to a meeting at church by 1:00. I got home 2:45, so it was time to go pick up Analise. It was then the after school crazies, and I took a quick minute to check my email; I learned that my Bible Study the next morning was back on, so that lead to a turn of events at our house. Sadie had been coughing all day - no other symptoms, just coughing. I originally planned to take her to the doc the next morning, but with Bible study meeting again, I knew I needed to take her now. I decided at 4:10, and I could be there no later than 4:30. The girls scrambled to get ready and go. Thankfully we didn't have to wait long. Her O2 levels were good, no fever and no wheezes. We think some drainage from a couple of weeks ago settled in her lungs, so we got an antibiotic and some cough medicine. (a side note - she weighed 26 lbs.) We are to continue breathing treatments. Really, it wouldn't be January without breathing treatments. We immediately left the doctor's office to drive trough the pharmacy, took Analise to music, took the other two to friend's house, back to music, back to pick up other two, home in quickly finish dinner and eat, Brandon got home 7:40, I left at 8:00 to get my haircut. Finally at 9:00 I sat down and talked with my husband.
Tuesday was Bible study, and after a friend came over to play with Maisie after preschool. Maisie doesn't have friends come over to play often, so she was super excited. The two girls played really well!  (Today the mom told me that her daughter said that Maisie is a terrific friend; pretty cute coming from a 5 year old.)  I tried a new recipe for dinner....spaghetti pie from Deceptively Delicious. It was semi-deceptive and more delicious to some than others. I left quickly after dinner for my commission meeting at church and got home 8:30. Everyone was in bed - even my husband. He has a crazy week as well, so put our week together, and it's kind of nuts.
Weds morning it started snowing a beautiful snow. It snowed most of the day and left several inches. We had school, and Sadie started back up with Kindermusik again. Church activities were canceled for the night, and that was great...a night at home with my family!
I went to Analise's class this afternoon to help for the first time this year. I loved being up there! I read with three kids (they did the reading), and it was so sweet. At the end I told the kids they did a nice job, and one boys said, "So did you." He then told me he liked my purse. :) How sweet!
I leave with a couple of pictures that are funny to me:  We came home from small group on Sunday evening. Maisie saw the leftover pear on the counter. She just helped herself to finish it. It cracks me up because after going potty, she didn't quite get put back together right. :) (Notice the tights. I offered more than once to her that she could take them off after church so she could be more comfortable. She didn't want to; she likes tights. I know she doesn't get that from her mother! And hopefully not her dad, either. :))

 The other day I was getting Sadie in her Pull-up for nap time, and she then put on Analise's Twinkle Toe shoes and walked around. To see it in person was hilarious.

Those kind of weeks are fun but exhausting! I am glad you had a family night home. We love those times. I love the pictures. Girls are precious. I am not a tight person either...
