Well, it's been quite a week! Last Sunday Sophie came down with a stomach bug that kept her home for half of school on Monday. Tuesday she was fine most of the day but had a rough evening, which led to her staying home again on Wednesday. Charles stayed with her both days due to my schedule at school that involved an 8th grade field trip to EMES and the Greek awards show with the 7th graders on Wednesday. Sophie was happy to be able to return to school Thursday and even drink milk, as evidenced by this picture she wanted me to take as proof:
Notice her "Happy Birthday" sticker she's wearing. Thursday she celebrated her half birthday with her classmates. She took in white chocolate covered pretzels and a book to read. Dad was supposed to read the book on Monday and then again on Wednesday, but the icky sickies led to numerous reschedulings.
While Sophie hung out with Dad on Wednesday she dove into his big box of architectural legos, which led to both girls playing with legos the rest of the week. Here they are with their dad on Saturday morning:
They've also been very into singing and acting out the songs from Frozen. We managed to capture a couple of them on video this weekend:
And finally, a shot from this morning, just to show the wide range of electronic devices they now have: iPods, headphones, Kindle, speakers for iPod, and Chromebook -- all being used at the same time!
As I type this, Charles is taking a nap in an attempt to get over the cold that both he and I have been fighting this week. I had a two hour nap yesterday, followed by some time with the Yalla ladies for dinner out at Taste of Thai. This evening's festivities will wrap up with me hosting book club for a dinner of chicken chili and cornbread. Here's hoping this week is healthier than the last!
