St. Patrick's Day (a little late)

Finally got the pictures on my computer!  I even found a slot for my SD card right in the front of my computer.  I knew it had to have one but couldn't find it!  I still have a lot to learn about this computer!


I had a hard time getting a picture of Andrew that morning because I made him put on his tie and he got very upset and started crying so his face was very red and he had watery eyes in most of the pictures.  He has to wear a uniform to school and since the tie wasn't even a uniform color it upset him and he was scared he would get in trouble.  The school is not super strict with the uniforms although they do have to wear them, we are allowed to buy the uniforms anywhere and they don't have to be a specific brand.  Andrew is very much a rule follower (like his mama) and while that is a good thing, it can also be a bad thing when we are trying to goof off and have fun!  He has quite a bit of anxiety about that!

So here goes:

Normally I make shirts for the holidays but this year it didn't even cross my mind. I'm just trying to survive day to day.  The day before Grace went to her babysitter's house and I wasn't sure if she was going to school so I dressed her in her only green outfit she had and then she got peanut butter on it during the day.  So, I went searching in her closet and came up with a rainbow dress!  Perfect for St. Patrick's Day!  Or at least I think so!  These are my lucky charms!

Still here!

Well, I really thought I would get some pictures uploaded but I haven't yet.  I wasn't feeling well at the end of the week (and weekend) and we had Opening Day for tee-ball on Saturday.  I wish I had pictures of that day but it was really cold and incredibly windy and impossible to take pictures.  I actually forgot my camera but my hands were so full and I was so busy that I wouldn't have had time to take pictures anyway. Today Andrew has had a fever.  He just finished antibiotics for an ear infection but I don't think it helped the sinus infection which may be why he has the fever. That and some of his friends from school are also sick.  He is acting fine since I gave him the motrin.  He is taking allergy medicine but I'm not sure if he is having allergy trouble or sinus trouble so I don't know what he needs to take.  I have no desire to go back to the doctor right now so hopefully it won't last. 

I just finished my 4th week of school today.  This week is going to be full of assignments.  I have an individual assignment that has 2 parts and will take a LOT of my time and then there is also a group assignment.  Of course I still have the 2 discussion questions and responses to get done.  Andrew is on spring break so we don't have to drive back and forth to school which is nice.  And now, with the fever it gives us a reason to stay home and get my work done!  The weather isn't that great right now either. It has been really, really windy for a few days and rainy.  Our wooden fence is falling down from the wind and my neighbor told me today hers is knocked down as well as their chain link fence.  They just put it up a few months ago so I feel bad for them.  The wind was brutal here.  I saw pictures of some trees down also. 

Well, I'm sure that was boring enough so I'll go.  As soon as I locate my camera I will get the pictures on here for you!  Oh, and since I don't think I told you yet, I'm typing this on my new laptop!!!!!  We had trouble getting my other computer fixed from the virus so we went and bought a laptop!  It's so nice to be able to sit on the couch with the kids and do my school work instead of being stuck in my room!
