This week is so different from last week. I was hopeful that the cold bug wouldn't visit us this winter but we couldn't avoid it. Chris was sick a few weeks ago and we was quarantined to the bedroom for a few days and he's feeling better. I have a head cold that worked it's way down into a chest cold. I want to kick this fast and not miss out on events this week with friends.
Kellyn did some water paints last week at the Learning Village while Claire was at her Lego Club.
Claire was moody last week while we snuggled so I had fun taking goofy pics while she was watching a cartoon.
The girls and I had a lunch date at Chick-fil-a and headed to the library afterward. We picked up a bunch of books at the library and went back to get icecream cones. Once we got home Kellyn wanted to bundle up with blankies while wearing Claire's sweater and eat cold icecream.
The girls have been having a lot of fun with dominoes lately. Kellyn likes to line them up in different rooms and Claire tried lining them up into letters to knock over.
Kellyn likes messing around with this Eric Carle learning pad that Claire got from her friend in Oregon. It comes with several books and you can spell out words, listen to letter sounds or listen to animal sounds. She's pretty quick with it and as always it's fun to see her looking through books. She's our little bookworm.

The girls each got a new Lego set on Saturday after the Lego Friends build we went to. It was a lot of fun for Claire. She felt slightly nervous at first but warmed right up. It was themed like camp like the new Lego Friends camp sets. The kids were put into groups to think of camp foods they like to eat, camp activities, decide on a camp flag and color and to free build as a team. Claire was in a group with two other girls and they chose to be the purple unicorns just like Claire's shirt. They all built a tree fort together and had a great time.
Kellyn really started to not feel well Saturday and ended up crawling into bed on her own around 7pm. She woke up a little while later crying and upset so I helped her change into pajamas and got her settled back into bed for the night. I started to not feel that well that night too and felt worse on Sunday.
Unfortunately Valentine's day wasn't spent doing fun, lovey things together as a family or as a couple. Chris got me and the girls cards and he got me a coffee bean grinder which is totally awesome. I made breakfast for Chris and tried resting the rest of the day. Monday was a lazy day. Kellyn napped, I tried to rest, Claire kept herself very busy which was nice to see.
Today is similar to yesterday. Kellyn isn't 100% but she's full of more energy and sass. The girls have been busy with Lego's, watched a couple movies, played with Littlest Pet Shop stuff and Kellyn glued a bunch of paper together for me as a gift.
We are hoping to be well enough for NLA tomorrow but I will most likely drop Claire off for her 2 hour Explorer's class with friends. I asked her if she would be alright with being dropped off and I can pick her up right after. Usually when their class is over the big kids walk over to NLA where the Moms are with the little siblings and with Ms Joy. Claire says she wants to go over to see Ms Joy and to play with her friends still. I'm so thankful to have a great community of friends who are willing to keep an eye on Claire and help her out if she needs to while she hangs with friends for an extra hour.
