High: We've eaten at CFA at least 3 times. Maybe more. Sometimes I lose count. Not cooking or cleaning up is always such a blessing these days, and the kiddos certainly love their chicken. Good thing we've got a steady supply.
Low: On Tuesday evening, I went to clean out Lily's lunch box. The plastic insert was already washed out, which was weird, and I noticed that there were a few ants crawling on it. Then, I noticed that the outside of the lunch box had ants meandering all over it. Sick.
When asked, Lily told me that the basket with all the lunch boxes had accidentally been left outside all afternoon, and the ants had been discovered right before school had let out. It seems that Lily's box had the worst infestation, and she kept saying how it was the "Worst Day Ever." (I never did figure out if hers actually was the worst, but she seemed to feel singled out in the incident.) Every other day this week, she has come home and when asked how her day was, replied with, "Good - there were no ants today."
High: Though John has had a busy week, he still made time to play with the kiddos. We all love this scenario.
High: Every afternoon, Bella and I head to the bus stop together, and usually, she dons some sort of extraordinary attire for the occasion. It's always pretty entertaining, and she is quite serious about it.
High: Sibling love. The girls really love the babies, and the feelings seem to be mutual. I shared this pic on Instagram, but its too stinking cute not to share again. Also, please note the drool dripping from Violet's chin. This is ALL THE TIME.
Low: Last night, after bedtime but while I was still up, Lily ran out to the living room to inform me that Bella had thrown up. She had, and it was pretty nasty. She had given no indication of feeling queazy, and even afterwards, she seemed totally fine. Lily was a huge help during clean up, and Bella was also very sweet and helpful. Bella woke up feeling fine, so I think it was just a freak thing, but it was pretty pathetic at the time.
Low: We got some bad news about Lily's teacher, and she is out of school for a couple of weeks. We are hoping and praying for a speedy recovery for her!
High: We got some good news about the twins' birth family, and we are rejoicing!
Well, that's that. We have some fun weekend plans in the works, and I am hoping and praying for healthy children and all of the other stars to align to make it happen. As I told John today, God knows what we need. And though we may not always like what that is, we can trust that it will be good and for the best. That said, I really hope that we get to do what we have planned!
