Happy Monday, friends. I’m trying to have a positive attitude about this Monday. The sky is grey. The forecast is calling for storms all week. But, we are loaded up with good books and some of the nastiest allergies to make for a cozy and coughy week.
We had a pretty fun and full weekend. We finally watched Mary Poppins Returns for our family movie night on Friday. Emily Blunt is BRILLIANT as Mary Poppins. I cried when she returned. I cried when Dick Van Dyke came out. I cried at the end. It is so SO good, and all three kids loved it.
I sold our old wagon. We used to have this one. We’ve actually had it for 6 years, and it’s still in perfect shape other than lots of dirt. There just wasn’t enough leg room for two of the girls to ride in anymore. Thankfully, I know the family it is going to. Isn’t it weird how attached we get to objects. I guess it’s not the object, but the memories that go with it. We replaced it with this wagon that folds up. Two kids can sit cross-legged comfortably. We can load it up with stuff for the beach. My favorite part is that the side unzips, so the wagon becomes a bench! Super fun!
Scott had to work on Saturday, which was a huge bummer. The girls and I got out the wagon to walk to some garage sales nearby. It immediately started raining, but we kept going. We came back home to have a picnic lunch while watching Disney Junior. When Scott got home from work, we all headed up to visit my older sister and her family. We ate good Mexican food, and celebrated my niece making show choir!
Sunday, we had church. My allergies have been so bad this year. I coughed all through Sunday School. I am on the praise team, and I just kept praying that God would keep my voice strong and cough away through the music. As soon as we finished singing, I went out and made a cup of hot tea. I watched the sermon from the lobby so that I didn’t disturb everyone again. We all stayed home from church in the evening because of the terrible coughs and overall crummy feeling. Harper ended up spiking a fever, and I suspect an ear infection from all of the sinus crud. She fell asleep the moment her body was in bed last night.
Even with the yucky allergy problems, we managed to have fun this weekend. My body is so stinking tired, and I would love to tag in a substitute teacher this week. We only have 19 lessons left in the school year! We are so close!!
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
