Life Lately

Weekends go by way too fast! I need a real break.

Aren't they the cutest?!

 

 Sick little Charlotte

This past week, Charlotte's sickness finally caught up to her. She had vomited a few days earlier (barf smelled like strawberries). She had diarrhea the day after. And finally, on the day of my field trip, she wasn't acting like herself and said she was too sick to go to school. She got a little corner of the couch and had all her panda buddies surround her as she snoozed away.

She told her teacher she wasn't feeling well so I had to watch her after school

 

Luckily Char just had a 24 hour bug or something. No one else was sick. Phew!

So... this story has to go down in the books. I have never in my life abused a church before. I noticed that there was a Harvest Festival in the morning on a Sunday. I thought it'll be cool to have the kids dress up and go since we had nothing going on in the morning anyway. When we got there, I didn't see the usual carnival stuff or what not. We walked inside the building and it just looked like a regular church service. It turns out it was a sort of outreach thing for newcomers; kids were able to dress up and have games, but it was seriously just an outreach. I asked Lucas if he wanted to stay and he said yes (I think they were just excited to be in costume). So, after we dropped off the kids and took a pager, we left and went to Starbucks and Ross for an hour. I felt kind of bad for abusing a church since they expected the parents to be in service. However, I was not interested in checking out this church and a part of me thought it's pretty cool how we accidentally stumbled upon free childcare! Hah! I've become one of those parents... (Note to self: never go to a Harvest Festival that starts at either 9 or 11 on a Sunday morning)
