A dentist or a tooth fairy?

2/8/08

Connor had a visitor at preschool this week. He said it was the tooth fairy! Then I looked at the pictures in the daily log they keep there and saw it was a dentist! LOL! He was so excited about his new funky looking toothbrush! Connor has had a rough 3 weeks with his health. A nasty intestinal virus, a sinus infection, croop. Nice upper respitory issues. He was doing so well this winter for the longest time, and then boom...3 weeks in a row of this. His little body is just worn out and I am lucky if I can keep fluids in him today. His disposition is still upbeat, so I guess that is a good sign. He is a trooper~

Colin did end up making All-County for his trumpet. The guest conductor turns out to actually be the band teacher from my school, Mrs. Passemato! Angela was so excited to see his name on her roster! He received his report card with a 92 avg this week as well. He was a bit disappointed, but it's a new quarter! He travels to Sectionals for indoor track this next weekend. How cool...another runner from his race in Kansas, a friend of David Goldstone who ran neck and neck with Colin, found this blog and sent his regards! It is so neat how the world is smaller....He was such a nice young man, too! Great sportsmanship. Colin can't wait to meet up with them again.

Today we went sledding, did barn chores, and built legos for hours with Connor! Colin got in on the action, too. Tony took a picture of what Connor's room looked like during Legomania...can't wait to get them developed and up on this site. It was the first weekend we did not have to be somewhere, and the hours got spent just relaxing, hanging out and playing games. We had a list of things that needed to get done onthe house, and we did none of them. It felt good!

Aunt Cathy saved the day and mailed up a cake mold in the shape of a pirate ship for Connor's birthday next Friday! Yahoo! Connor was speechless when he opened the box! Lynee, Eleni, and Megan are coming during the February Break from Maine and we can't wait! We are having a pirate birthday...pieces of 8 treasure hunt outside, pin the crow's nest on the ship, dress-up like pirates, and much more!

Happy Valentine's Day to all this week! Tony, the kids and I will make homemade chocolate lollipops and molded candies. Married my best friend, and glad I did! He sure is a great dad and is our favorite Valentine. Should have seen him on his skis today! Now Colin knows where his speed comes from! I am in IEP writing mode and will be typing my hands off the next 3 weeks into the wee hours! Hope all we love are happy and healthy!
