Day of Fun!

May 2, 2022

For Christmas the kids all got an experience. The boys got tickets to see the Falcons and the Mavericks. Samantha got tickets to see LOL Live on Stage! It was going to be so fun…until it got cancelled. Thanks covid. So, we came up with a plan B! The kids were out of school on Friday so she got to invite two friends to do whatever she wanted – and what she wanted was a jump park and roller skating!

Spencer didn’t have any plans that day so Samantha nicely said he could tag along! 🙂

They jumped and bounced and flipped!

They jumped until they were tired and hungry and in need of milkshakes…

Then it was off to the roller rink! Samantha got skates for Easter and has been practicing in the driveway a bit so she picked it up really quickly. Spencer and the girls were slow at first but, by the time we left, everyone was skating pretty good! I even put on some skates and was pleased that all my Saturday mornings spent skating at 8Wheels served me well. I was cruising around that rink!!

While it wasn’t LOL Live on Stage it was still a SUPER FUN DAY!!

Hip hip hooray!

Scouts

Maxwell went on another scout campout a few weeks ago and had a great time! Robert joined in on this one too.

They were originally supposed to go on a two day campout that included some sort of hiking but that got changed so they ended up at the indoor climbing place to work on that badge. Maxwell wasn’t complaining!

Spencer also completed his Bear year but I have no photos of that so here’s a pic of him in his uniform back in November that I don’t think I ever shared!

Samantha continues to do Girl Scouts!

Hope they are all learning to always be prepared!

Hives

April 27, 2022

Spencer has always had sensitive skin and really bad allergies. The pollen this season has been out of control but he’s actually been handling it well…until last week! He came home from school saying he was itching all over. He took off his shirt and he was covered in hives!

I gave him some Benadryl while waiting for the doctor to call me back. He said Benadryl is fine but better to just rotate other allergy meds – Claritin, allegra, zyrtec, etc – twice a day. I was hoping he’d be better by the next day but this is what he looked like the next morning…

Poor buddy! He was COVERED. His entire legs were basically one giant hive. I took him up to the doctor and she said it was just allergies and the hives are worse when your body gets warm – which makes sense since he had been snuggled under his covers all night. We continued the twice a day antihistamine and also added in a pepcid because that also blocks histamine. By the next day he was much better and back to school!
