For the past couple of days Miss Sarah has not felt her best, but could still run with the best of them. But today, that changed. She did not want to get up. She wanted to be held. She whined. Like a lot. Here she is on her pallet, giving a smile for the camera.

I went to get the thermometer to take her temp. Couldn’t find it. I looked everywhere. Sigh.
I really did not want to load the girls up and head to Wal-Mart with her feeling so bad, but I like to keep track of their temps when they are sick. So, out we go.

We are home NOT five stinkin’ minutes and low and behold Emily finds the “lost” thermometer.

So now we have three. Cause I bought 2 while we were out. One to use. Another one to use when we lose the other one.

Emily’s birthday is tomorrow. She will be twelve. She is super excited. Me & David not-so-much.

She asked if she could make her own birthday cake this year. Sure, why not.

David is taking tomorrow off and we’ll be celebrating throughout the day. Depending on how Sarah feels, I may keep her home for part of the festivities. Emily is still trying to decide what she’d like to do. So far, rock climbing, movies, putt-putt, go-cart racing and a couple other things have been mentioned. Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

I’ve been needing a candy thermometer for the longest time. But I am cheap and never wanted to pay a lot for one. While walking down the aisle at Wal=Mart I spotted this one. Not only for candy but for oil too. Ha! And only 3 bucks. Cheap.

I’ve only missed two days, that I can remember, of my 365 thingamabob.

Here are some shots from last week. In no particular order.
