This has been one of those weeks. More stinky weather, threatened school closings and oh yes, the flu. Technically, I am the only one that has it, but Alan came home from school early on Wednesday with a fever and was all around miserable. On Thursday I called his pediatrician who said just to wait and see if he develops anymore symptoms before bringing him in. That afternoon I went to my appointment and found out that I had the flu, so I came home grabbed my boy and ran him to the closest Urgent Care. After 2 hours in the lobby with me wearing the mask of shame, we went to the exam room.
Ala was a real trooper during the swab test ans just cuddled in my lap until we got the results. His test was negative, but we went ahead and got Tamiflu for him. So far today he seems to be back to his regular self and doing well. I still feel like I lost a street fight with a chain smoker, but hopefully that will end soon.
One interesting thing was seeing how much he has grown. It seems like Alan is taking after his sister by being one of those "off the chart" kind of kids. He is 49 inches tall and 50 pounds. He is getting to be such a big boy! I guess that explains why he eats so much. I am nervous about the teenaged years.

Snow Day!!
The unbelievable happened! It snowed in Central Texas!
Ok its not really unbelievable since it has happened every year for the past few years, but it is still extremely exciting and a rare treat for the kids. Alan and Ashley had the day off from school and David was out of work. then entire town shut down in anticipation of the massive snow fall we were expecting. People flooded the stores to stock up on supplies for the coming blizzard.
A friend of mine posted this picture that I think basically sums up the atmosphere of Central Texas on the 4th.
The kids went to bed on the third expecting to get up and make snowmen and snow angels. The excitement was in the air. At 6:30 in the morning they woke up to this.
Yeah it wasn't overwhelming, but they had a good time making snow angels in the driveway and scraping up what they could get into teeny tiny snowmen. I even got to use the matchstick carrots as noses and jellybean eyes. They had fun and are eagerly anticipating another snow day.
