Happy (& Unhappy) 4th!

We started last week with our first ever movie at the theater! We went to see Monster's University with our friend Honor. We did have some popcorn and some Sprite (big deal for kids who don't drink pop!). I was a little worried, especially with Parker, for how he would deal with everything. He sat with Honor and he asked lots of questions and talk about what was happening a lot. For a movie that's almost 2 hours,  he did really well until asking to go home the last 20 minutes or so. Payton did just fine, except for asking lots of "what happened?" and a few bathroom breaks. Having it be characters they already know and like I think totally helped. Movie success!

Monday afternoon we were taken out of our movie high by getting the call that Payton had spiked a fever of 103.

She spent the next 2 full days home from school and having a rolling fever. Then what started as a good morning on the 4th of July...

quickly turned into her being a wet noodle again and a trip for her and I to the ER. She was quite the hit with her fancy 4th of July dress. Her strep test was negative. They decided she had a virus and a seriously monster case of thrush. She's better and no fever but she's still being a little goofy so I'm guessing we'll be in to see our regular doctor this week.

Friday everyone was back to school for the day, where they had a little 4th of July hangover and finished up some special crafts for the week.

Here's hoping for a quieter week!!!
