100.8

So, teach me to say that the sickness is finally gone....Tarin woke up this morning with a fever of 100.2 and by this evening it is 100.8....so she will be home from school yet another day this month. The question now is...do I take her to the doctor or not? This is debatable, becauses if I take her, I run the risk of the other two getting sick while we are there. So, maybe we will tough this one out at home, unless she starts complaining about her throat.

So this weekend was pretty fun. I took the kids to yet another birthday party on Friday. It was at a big bouce house warehouse. Walker LOVED it. Not so much the bouce houses, but the balls that were everywhere. He would hit it with his hand and then crawl and follow it everywhere. He plays fetch with himself, it is AWESOME! So, for his first birthday, he will be getting a ball, pretty simple, huh?

On Saturday Dan took all three kids on a hike with his brother and sister in law. It sounded like a great adventure. They took Willie too. There was a river and a waterfall and cliffs and all kinds of scary stuff. It was probably a good thing I wasn't there, however, if I had been there, we wouldn't have forgotten the backpack for Walker. Ben and Dan took turns getting a bicep workout as they lugged the 26 lb baby along the trail. They are crazy, but strong I guess. I must say that I don't know that I would ever be brave enough to take three kids and a dog on a hike without Dan's help. I am sure he was grateful to have the bro and sil there too....He didn't take the camera so no pics of this hike, but apparantly it was cool enough to go back and do again.

So, wish me luck this week as we work on not spreading whatever disease is in our house right now.
