And we're down!

Alex has the flu. Type B in case you were wondering. It seems to be the question of the hour around here. Total bummer. He started having chills and then was hot, so I made our fourth doctor's appointment of the year.  Check the date. We are only 3 days into February!  We are going to be done spending our flex health spending account before the end of March at this rate.   He has felt pretty good all day actually.  Good enough to set up an entire army vs three cowboys and indians.  (Blah! Blogger won't let me upload a picture of Alex & his army).

Conleigh & Campbell are hanging tough. We went to swim lessons tonight. I am so thankful Conleigh liked it. When she first put her bathing suit on, she said, "It will feel good to get back in the pool."  That was so nice to hear.  She spent about 2 minutes in the pool and they realized she was way past the level she was starting at, so they zoomed her up to Level 2 right away. I know that made her feel good too.  Campbell worked hard at her station, but I don't think she was promoted to the next station yet. I think they can spend 7 lessons on one station before they step in and take a 'get it done' attitude.

School started two hours late this morning. The reason given was to assist with power conservation. Yesterday there were some rolling power outages in the city. What a lame reason to start late. No power outages today. Now we are starting two hours late tomorrow because of the possibility of snow & ice. I really hope the girls have school. I'm not excited about the kids wanting to play in the skimmings of snow tomorrow.

Conleigh & Peter are set to go to the Girl Scout Father/Daughter dance on Saturday night.  Wash hands. Sanitize, Don't spit on each other. That is the Hardin mantra right now. I really don't want the flu to fly through our house.

Have a good weekend. We'll be staying warm by our fire.

Love is in the Air

The time has come & gone for the Daddy~Daughter dance hosted by the Girl Scouts. This year Conleigh and Peter double dated with our friends Eric and Emma Schultz. The four of them went out to dinner before the big dance. The theme this year was masquerade in case you wondered why Conleigh was wearing her New Orleans mask.

I understand that multiple people complimented Conleigh on her dress. Peter said that so many people kept telling her about how pretty her dress was, and trust me, it made her feel super special!

While they were dancing the night away, Alex, Campbell and I had our own fun with the other part of the Schultz family. Liz & Hayden(Chicken) and the three of us went out for pizza and yogurt. Then we headed to our house where Liz hung frames on the wall in our family room. The same wall that had a shelf one month ago now has a beautiful display of frames. All the picture frames don't even have pictures in them yet, but I love the wall! Thanks Liz.

Spiderman!

Spidey is IN THE HOUSE! Our Alex loves spiderman. He has at least 4 sets of pajamas that have spiderman, 2 posters in his room, a scooter, and his house shoes that Granny gave him for Christmas. Tonight he was jammin' to the toy piano. He said, "let's rock & roll..." and he was a dancing fool. Enjoy his moves. HINT: to hear the music, press pause on the purple music list at the bottom of the page, and turn up your speakers.
