Blame it on the FLUtes


My post to Facebook after Tristan's doctor appointment on Wednesday morning and all the comments that followed.  The whole absurdity of the situation makes me laugh!  Tristan is starting to feel better.  He's been in his bed since Tuesday night.  Today he came out for a bit to watch a movie with the little boys.  His fever has come down for the first time.  All his plans for the weekend are on hold and we are hoping he can go to school on Monday for the Drum Major clinic.  Crossing my fingers!  And, of course, hoping everyone else who is sick gets better really soon too.  What a way to end the year!  Or maybe that was the plan all along, to get out of the last three weeks of school.  Those darn band kids!!  

Just thought I should let y'all know that my son, as well as three other band kids, have tested positive for Type B Flu. They were all on bus #3 for the trip to Dallas. Hope no one else comes down with it, but be on the look out for flu symptoms! It's easier to deal with if it's caught early.

Breakfast in Bed

A few weeks ago, Jackson asked if he could have breakfast in bed with a tray.  That reminded me that my mom had given the kids some television trays several years ago and they were put up in the closet in the laundry room.  I got them out and the boys have been having so much fun using them.


Jackson writes a menu before he goes to bed and puts it on the fridge.
After I get all the other kids off to school, I make him a tray.
This day he asked for cereal with milk, waffles, juice, and milk in a cup.


This day, Holden did not want to stay in bed, 
but wanted to eat in the living room and watch the news with Dad.


They love eating their breakfast in bed and using the trays any time to eat off of.


Good thing I kept these trays,  They've been getting some good use these past few weeks.
