Week in Review

 It was a good thing we had a third week of Christmas Break - Cora was home in bed with a fever for several days of it.

Luckily, she had her trusty cat Spencer to keep her company.

Cora woke up Monday feeling bad, and her fever rose as the day went on. Nothing too serious, just a good reason to sleep, read, and watch shows for a couple of days.

 Tuesday was my birthday, and thankfully Cora felt well enough to go out in the evening for dinner.
Melanie met us at my favorite restaurant, Wolf Creek, home of the World's Best Olive Dip. (My Mom and Dad were on a cruise, lucky ducks!)

 We had a lovely dinner, and it didn't hurt that Tuesdays are half-price for bottles of wine.

(While Cora looks great here, she was whispering to me that she felt bad and wanted to get back to bed. Such a trooper, loving her mummy so well to attempt a birthday dinner!)




We had a low-key Wednesday, as well, with just a trip out to the orthodontist and hair salon for Cora.

On Thursday, we got together with Violet's friend Camryn at an indoor play place - these two first-grade friends are so cute together!

 Cora worked on her violin practicing, and Stace strummed the guitar with Violet.

Violet got the crafting bug, Googling lots of ideas of Valentine's projects she wants to make for her classmates. I am not naturally crafty, so it's funny to see these interests pop out in your kids.

 On Friday, Cora felt well enough to go with Sophia to a climbing gym, full of rock walls. She loved it!

Can you spot the fourth-grade friends, way up high? Thanks to Sue for the photos, and for taking Cora along.

We had such a wonderful three-week break from school! Back to normal life now...
