Just wish I was feeling better! I've come down with a sinus infection that's moving in to my lungs. So, I have a nasty cough, terrible sinus pressure, and drainage. How fun! Somehow, the Ferstle family managed to stay away from any illnesses all last school year. We won the jackpot on the healthy lottery. This year...it's not off to a great start. A heavy cold for Sean, this lovely sinus infection for me, an ear infection for our dog, and another "boil" for Evan. It has not been a great week for us all!
But, despite all that, our September has still been pretty fabulous! Sean is still doing really well at school. He definitely enjoys school and his teacher, which is a huge relief on our parts. He's just not a fan so much of the before care program. Soccer is going okay, too. Meaning we haven't had to drop out like our experience over a year ago at the indoor soccer complex. He runs on the field, he gives it his best effort, and he seems to be happy doing that. I think Evan wishes he was on the team too. Poor guy. Two more years, buddy!
Look at him getting in on the action and going for the ball! He had some great moments in this first game. The next two games...not as aggressive, but he ran like crazy up and down the field.
Go number 5! The Red Ninjas!
Soccer isn't the only sport taking over our house right now. Of course, it's football season. Which means, Scott's attention has just been cut down drastically considering there are games on Thursday nights, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday nights. I'm trying to embrace it this year and go with the flow, because I do love the Lions!
But, it's not my favorite when football leaves me stranded taking two kids to a birthday party over an hour away at CJ Barrymore's on a Sunday. Thank God my mom came along as backup! And she got to attend one awesome birthday party. Mini bowling, Princess Ariel came, face painting, balloon animals, delicious food and cake, and great favors! Our friends put on one heck of a party!
It was an added bonus that the entire party was Ariel themed. I mean, she is the best Disney princess! In fact, I want her job of visiting birthday parties on weekends. I just need to lose another 20 lbs. and find a sweet costume like this Ariel had and I'll be set!
So much fun! We have two more birthday parties next weekend to attend, but this one will be hard to top. I didn't realize we were friends with so many people who had little ones in the fall! It seems like our September and October calendar dates are booked with birthday events.
Not to mention, Mr. Sean will be turning 5 this upcoming Thursday! Let our own birthday celebrations begin! The gifts are bought (just need to be wrapped) and his slideshow is almost done (just need to add music and burn the DVD). He wants me to make him an ice cream cake like I did for Evan. I also need to figure out whether he can bring in treats or goody bags at school. I'm seeing a Target or Five Below trip in my future this week. It's a good thing I love shopping...
Well, time to get ready to start my day! Kids want breakfast, Sean needs to get ready for school and picture day, Evan has a doctor's appointment for his boil, and I'm hitting the road in two hours for Chicago!! Woo hoo!! 74 and sunny all weekend - it's going to be great! And the boys are heading up north today with Scott and his parents. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
