We survived the flu! It was bad. Steve didn't feel good last Friday night and Saturday night-Sunday early morning I was blessed with tossin' my cookies. Man it was bad. So bad I couldn't get out of bed all day on Sunday. And Piper still had the diarrhea all day on Sunday so Steve had to deal with that by himself. I felt bad for him but there was nothing I could do! Then on Monday came the sittin' on the toilet. So I decided to stay home and keep Piper home with me for another day. It was a wise choice - we both just took it easy. Before lunch she grabbed her shoes and brought them to me. Then she went to the kitchen to the chair I put her in to put them on and I put them on her - then she grabbed her coat and started dragging it around the house and crying because she wanted to go somewhere! She is a true Weber. Can't stay home - has to be on the go. So I gave her lunch and then a nap. Then we went over to Jefferson Pointe to check out the little playland area. She played for about 30 minutes and then we took a ride. I guess that was good enough for her!

Then the rest of the week was busy! Busy at work - busy at home. Wednesday night Ashley had her choir concert. So we went to Albion and watched 6-7-8 choirs perform. Then Thursday night it was Riley's school program. So, Steve took the kids out for supper(our visitation night) and then went to Riley's program. Riley was Raggedy Andy in the play..... boy we won't forget to tell his girlfriend that!!! Then before we knew it the week was over and it was Friday. The boys went to get their haircut last night and we ate supper at home and watched the new Harry Potter movie. Well, we didn't get all of it watched.

We are suppose to get a bunch of snow today and tomorrow. I guess I get sick of the outrageous predictions and then we don't get much. I guess I just get to where I don't worry because I don't believe them!!! We went out to the mall again. We ate lunch at Applebee's - it cost 60.00 for our family to eat there. That is crazy. I told Steve that is also why we are eating supper at home tonight!!! We are hoping to go over the Franke Park and do the drive thru lights tonight. Piper has never seen them. I think she will like them.

Piper did something really smart the other night. Now, I am not saying she is smart (hence some of the things she does do) but I have Rudolph the Red Noise Reindeer stuffed animals that she plays with and she was watching the movie. She got the most puzzled look on her face while Sam the Snowman was on the screen - went around the back of the sofa - found the stuffed Sam the Snowman and came back and watched the rest of the movie with "stuffed" Sam the Snowman with her. I was impressed! She made the connection - that hey - I have seen him with the stuffed animals.... I just hope she is so smart - she can take care of me and I can quit my job!!!
