Almost Friday!

Well, it has been quite a week. New Years did not go quite as planned. Jerold ended up with the flu and then Alex had it on Friday. They are both feeling much better now. I luckily have not gotten it. Thank goodness.
Alex spent the night at grandma and grandpa Meier's on New Years Eve. She had a great time. They had a slumber party in the living room with Paige and Grandma. The child did not go to bed until after the fireworks though. Talk about a long day on New Years. She was definitely a grouch. After she and her dad took naps, she was ready to go. We went and saw the new baby at the hospital. The Sancken's had their little girl on New Years Eve. She is just so sweet. It is hard to believe that Alex was that size at one time. Congratulations to the Sanckens. Alex is asking about daily to see the baby. She is on a baby kick again.
So, this week has gone by fairly slow. I am not sure why, but it just seems to drag. The kids are starting to get back into the swing of things. It has been a little rough getting everyone back into a routine. Two weeks off from school and routine can seriously mix things up. It is getting better though.
Saturday Alex is spending the day with Grandma Peg and Paige. Nikki, Kari, and I are going to go up to Huntley to go do a little shopping. Pretty much just return and exchange from Christmas. It should be a fun trip. The outlet mall there is pretty neat. It has a little bit of everything. Especially places for kids clothes. Hopefully everything will work out and the weather will cooperate. Saturday night and Sunday I think that we are just going to get caught up around the house and relax. Something that has not been done in quite a while. I am looking forward to that.
Well, that is about it. Hopefully everyone has a great weekend. Until next time...
