The flu hit us hard this past week. Mack and Emma had mild versions of it, only being down for about 24 total hours. Ellie's symptoms hung around a little longer and she ended up missing 4 days of school. I am still struggling myself with some residual sinus issues which left me without a voice. Nothing else stopped for us though. We've had basketball games, the father daughter dance, school field trips, more basketball, and my 42nd birthday - which I spent feeling pretty sick. I'm so ready to get this virus out of our house, I can't stand it! Hopefully this next week will bring health and a return to normalcy for all of us.
These pictures cover the past couple of weeks, because I didn't really have enough pictures accumulated to make a post until now.

| The kids cracked open their frozen yogurt maker a couple of weekends ago and made some frozen yogurt. |
 |
| I thought Mack looked hilarious having some bench time at one of his games. I had to snap this picture. |
 |
| Mack's team won their first game! As of today, they've won 2 lost 3. |
 |
| Ellie had an overnight school field trip to Jekyll Island. She was quite exhausted when she returned. She got home, showered, and got in her happy place with her unicorn (if front of the tv.) |
 |
| Ellie is on safety patrol this semester. I never get to see her at work, because I have to drop her off early so that she's there before drop off starts. The other morning, I had a PTO meeting to attend, and I get to snap a picture of her out there doing her thing. It was so cold that morning! |
 |
| Mack had his 101st day of school. He begged me to make him some ears to wear. |
 |
| He's a nut. |
 |
| This was the first flu victim. This was Emma when she got home from school 2 Fridays ago. It hit hard and fast. |
 |
| I was the 2nd victim of the flu, then came Mack and Ellie. Mack was hilarious. He kept putting on this mask and watching tv with it. I asked him if he was trying to keep his germs contained and he told me "no." I'm not sure what his purpose was but that day, I let him do whatever made him feel better, because he was pitiful. |

I got to spend my birthday watching this cute guy play basketball. They lost pretty bad, but I love to watch him play!
I love watching Emma too. Unfortunately, due to having the flu, I missed all but one of her games this week. Her team is undefeated so far. |
 |
| Mama insisted on making me a cake even though I can't really taste anything still. I chose key lime and it was a monster cake. |
 |
| It turned out delicious! |
 |
| Once we had our cake snack, I got the girls ready for the father daughter dance. I'd like to say it was a lovely evening, but that little girl in the middle wearing the white dress decided to throw the biggest fit of her life - one that brought me to tears. Not my best parenting moment, but being sick, tired, and having no voice will leave you nothing to do but cry when your child decides to buck. Emma is stubborn, and when she digs her heels in, it's bad. We all pulled it together though and the girls made it to the dance and had a great time despite the debacle earlier. |
 |
| My kids save up their money to buy/order things, things like wigs. Ellie was thrilled to find said item in the mailbox when they returned from the dance last night. |
