Before I get into Silverlicious, I’ll back up and recap Friday and the doctor appointments. I was feeling fine Friday morning. I called and cancelled my appointment since I felt it would have been a waste of time for the doctor to look at me. Warren’s ears were still a bit cloudy. We changed him to Augmentin from amoxicillin. There seems to be a big change already with his ears/nose drainage.
Saturday was originally going to be a scrapbooking day for Mandy and I. I then saw in an email that Borders was having a Silverlicious launch party for kids. I knew Laura would have fun. Mandy and I changed our plans to include taking Laura to the party. We started our day a little later than we normally would, and made pizza for lunch. Once lunch was finished, we headed to Borders.
They read Pinkalicious, Purplicious, and Silverlicious. They girls could then decorate either a wand or crown. Laura chose to decorate a crown and glued on various shapes. Once the crafts were finished, they provided small bites of cookie bars and a small cup of hot chocolate to the kids. We stuck around and Laura got 4 stickers and 4 pencils (pink, purple, gold, and silver to go along with each book in the series). On our way back to Mandy’s, we stopped at Dairy Queen for some ice cream. I got Laura her usual strawberry sundae and I had a twist cone. Laura decided she liked my cone and left about half of her sundae.
Once back at Mandy’s, we watched Ratatouille. Mandy took a short snooze. :) Rather than come back home to cook, we decided to go to Perkins. Laura loved the pancakes with sprinkles.
I was originally a little disappointed that I wouldn’t get my full day away from the kids on Saturday like we had planned. But then I started focusing on the fun we would have and the memories that would be made. It is so nice that Laura is getting to the age where she can miss a nap once in a while. To be honest, I was surprised at just how much fun I had with her on Saturday. Laura was loving that both Mandy and I were doting on her. I was quite surprised that she didn’t get whiny with how long and big of a day it was. When we were eating she started acting a little tired. I felt her forehead and she was warm. She is running a slight fever now. :( On the other hand, she’s had a cough for so long that it is kinda nice to have another symptom show up. If I take her in to the doctor, I can now say that she has a cough and a fever.
This morning there was a pancake breakfast at church. I took Laura while Robert stayed home with Warren. The little boy was still not feeling well, and Robert didn’t get much sleep after 4 am. That way when Warren napped this morning he could too. There was also a bake sale going on at church. Laura wanted to buy some cookies to share with ALL of the kids. I convinced her that we could buy some for her to share with her Sunday school class. Laura did really well during church as well. She is also going up on her own for the Children’s Sermon. I love the independence she is starting to show. 
Time to clean up some dishes and switch laundry again before bed.
