Week 45: Warm and nice

Last week was mostly enjoyable for everyone except Frank. He had a bad cold the whole time (he's still feeling it), making him miss work Monday for feeling awful and then again on Friday for losing his voice. Zach and Gabe both had an off day on Thursday; Gabe got a scratch on his head from the playground fence and Zach ended up with a fever. I had to pick both of them up from school. So we had some crazy days but also some nice ones. The temp was in the 60's every morning and 80's or near it in the afternoons. Zach got his copy of the new wimpy kid book and read it in about 2 hours. Gabe read his first book for kindergarten homework and he was so proud. He practices sight words every day and eagerly points them out to me when he sees them written somewhere. And Charlotte walked up to the bus stop for the first time. She was cooperative for most of the journey. We hit Barnes & Noble and Chili's for some fun on Saturday.
