Date of occurrence:

Poor Lily. She is sick and had to see the doctor today.

She did not come down with one, but three virusses!

Norovirus, metapneumovirus, and rhinovirus.

They say all things come in three.

Let’s pray she recovers quickly.

Maybe in three days?!

Not Happy

Yes, Sophia is smiling really big in this picture.

That will not last long though.

Sophia has a doctor’s appointment today.

She will probably get a shot.

Last time, it took everyone to hold her down.

Mom doesn’t expect any different this go around. Poor Sophia.

She will not be a happy camper!

Happy Birthday, Sophia

Woohoo! Five years old today!

The festivities will take place another weekend.

She is with her dad and maw-maw today.

I am quite sure Sophia’s big day will be celebrated.

We sure did.

Happy birthday, SoSo! We love you!

April Fool’s Day?

Date of occurrence:
April 1, 2025.

Kc has been working for a food delivery service to make some extra money, since his part time job doesn’t  have enough hours for him to work.

We haven’t seen him for several days, but today he comes home after school with big news. He is accepted as an employee for an hvac company as soon as he graduates.

That is great and we are happy for him.

Suddenly it dawns on me.

Me:”Kc, is this an April Fool’s Day joke?”
Kc:"What is?"
Me:"You getting a job after high school."

Kc laughs and assures me it is not a joke.

Phew, that’s a relief.

I just had to ask, since each year he tells me he will get me on April Fool’s Day. Maybe he still did? Nah, I doubt that.

Needles to say, we are excited for and proud of him!

The Break-Up

Date of occurrence:
March 31, 2025.

Londyn is sick and bored, so she calls us to get some ideas how to entertain herself. Little does she know that she is entertaining us with her stories and wit. Like this one…

Opa:”How is your boyfriend?”
Londyn:"I broke up with him."
Opa:"Oh no. What happened."
Londyn:"He cheated and he lied."
Opa:"He cheated? "
Londyn:"Yeah, and she is ugly!"
Opa:"How do you know he was cheating?"
Londyn:"Because he didn't come around anymore and we had this rule that when you don't come around anymore, we break up."

That sounds reasonable.

At least Londyn doesn’t seem to be all broken up about it! lol.

Still Or Again?

Date of occurrence:
March 30, 2025.

And how is Bella?

According to Lily,

<===. this is what Bella is watching.

Me:” Hey, we just had Christmas!”

Lily:” It's not even close to Christmas is it?”

Me:” Nooooo. That is long ways away.”

It is quite clear where Bella’s mind is.

She is either still in Christmas spirit, or again! Grin.

Lily has a lot to tell. She shares that her and Londyn have been doing cartwheels a lot. Lily:” And one time I fell on my back and laughed so hard.”

She sends me a picture of their rats. When I say ‘ewww’, Lily assures me they are clean. She reveals they have 4 rats. These two are called Gus Gus and Jezebel.

She tells us what all she has been doing and suddenly switches gears. She plays teacher. She sure pays attention to her teacher, because she imitates her perfectly.

Then it is time to let us go. Thank you, sweetie.

We are up to date!

Looking Good!

Lily calls to show us some pictures she made. They are actually pretty good and I ask her:” Oh my! That is excellent, Lily. Did you draw that or trace it?”

Lily responds:”I draw it and trace it. I needed a little help with it.”

I am impressed and tell her I think she is quite the artist and that I am proud of her A heartfelt ‘thanks’ is her response. She really did a great job.

Looking good!👍 

A Blast Day

Date of occurrence:
March 20, 2025.

A while back, Londyn brought home a paper for a field trip to a farm. Mom was under the impression that she had about a week to sign it. Nope, she had only two days.

The result is that the paper didn’t get turned in and Londyn is not allowed to go. Mom felt really bad about it and decides to have a ‘field trip’ of their own.

So, mom keeps Londyn out of school that day. At Londyn’s request, they go to a store of her choice to buy some stuffies she wants.

Then it is on to the pet store where Londyn gets a kick out of observing all the fishies. The park is next where they enjoy playtime and a super duper packed lunch.

They finish off the day by visiting some more stores and then it is time to head back home.

Londyn loved the one on one time and all the things she got to do. She may have missed the field trip, but…

She had an absolute blast day! 

Happy Birthday!!!
