Topic 1: Spring Break
We've been on Spring Break this week and, sadly, we are at the end of it. It has been so much fun just hanging out with my girls. We didn't plan any big trips or big activities, but it has been relaxing and just the break that I needed. I did something this week that I very rarely do. I made special breakfasts every single day. We had muffins in the shape of cute bugs on two different days and we had pancakes on two different days. It was fun to make the girls something special. We've done lots of other fun things too, like...
eating lunch and having ice cream at Chick-fil-a,
shopping for new swimming suits (yay for summer!),
going to see The Lorax (we loved it!),
playing at the park...alot,
playing dress-up and having a fashion show, and...
making homemade pizza and peanut butter cookies!
We've had such a fun week! Sadly, my car has been in the shop for the last two days, so we've been stuck at home, but we've tried to make the best of it! As usual, I'm sad to see our Spring Break come to an end, but am loving the weather and the fact that summer break is right around the corner! :)
Topic 2: A Change
For the last year or so, we have been talking about making a change at church. We love our church and have been there for years. We met there, got married there, all of our babies have been loved on by the great people who minister there. Our church has been growing in many ways. They've opened up a campus in Southlake and their newest campus is in West Fort Worth. I think we both really felt led to try out the West campus. We love it and decided to make that our home campus. This would be "our church", but just at a different location. This change also meant getting up on Sunday mornings to be at church. We loved ourselves some Saturday nights at the main campus, but have loved doing Sunday mornings too. This campus is a bit smaller, but we are really hoping and praying for a way to serve and be way more involved here. We LOVE the worship time, the girls are loving Power Kids and their Sunday school classess, and we love that we are getting the same preaching we were getting anyway. We really feel like God has led us here and can't wait to see how he might use us. 
The last couple of weeks at our house (and my school) have been full of germs, flu, and strep. Molly was hit first. Kelly, our babysitter, texted me at work to let me know that Molly had thrown up in bed and was burning up with fever. I'm so thankful that I was able to leave and get home to her. She was so miserable. She slept on me the rest of the day, which is a sure sign that she was really sick.
The next day she seemed to be feeling a lot better (and she stayed better), but then Gracie Claire started saying she wasn't feeling very good. She had a low grade fever, but woke up on Sunday morning fever free. By the end of the day, though, she was running a higher fever than before, so I called to get a substitute, typed up sub plans, and got ready to be home with my sick girl. We headed to the doctor on Monday and it was strep AND flu. My poor, sweet, girl. I ended up staying home with her on Tuesday too. She felt so much better once she got some antibiotics in her. The week went on as normal and then I started feeling a little inkling of a sore throat on Friday night. I ran a low grade fever over the weekend, but headed to work on Monday. (It is so much easier to go to work when you aren't feeling well than having to prepare for a sub. Teachers aren't able to just take a day off. Taking time off means a couple of hours of extra preparation. I'd just rather go to work.) Sadly, I wasn't feeling so great when I got home, I was still running a fever, and so I headed to Care Now just to be sure. You guessed it...strep AND flu. I had to miss the next 2 days of school. Those two days included Open House and a crazy, crying phone call to my principal. Being sick makes me a little crazy. :) We seem to be completely better now. I'm so thankful that Sydney and Paul have stayed healthy!
Well, I think that catches me up! This concludes my Blog Topic Mish-Mash! :)
