Way Back Wednesday

This week (October 4) in 2014. He was so little!

Trying on some Harry Potter glasses. 💜

You Know What They Say...

Real men wear pink, especially when the pink is their mom's hair wrap. ;) He thought it was pretty funny.

Thunderstorm

We had a huge thunderstorm this afternoon, something that is highly unusual for our neck of the woods. Thankfully, the boys enjoyed watching the lightning show and were pretty blasé about the thunder. Now Gracie, though...she liked it a WHOLE lot less than the boys. LOL. Anyway, we managed to snap this shot of a bolt in the sky. 

 

Haircut

Jack has school pictures this week, so today he got a little trim to neaten everything up. He looks so cute!

School

Jack at school this week. He's wearing his camo shirt to help him hide from any more cooties. ;)

Friday Five

Well, Shawn continues to show zero symptoms or any congestion or fever. We had his COVID swab appointment today, which was a less than pleasant experience for all involved. Lol. We should get the results on Sunday. If they don't come then, he'll have to stay home another day.

The other two guys finished their school weeks off strong. It's hard to believe we are already through 6 weeks of school. I hope it keeps this rapid pace for the remainder of the year.

We have family pictures next weekend! Yay!

Jack has his school pictures on the 5th. Fingers crossed that we get good ones. We got the dynamic duos pics back, and once again they've left us wanting. I don't know why it is so hard for Jostens to take good school pics.

We've started Halloween costume discussions. Shawn is saying he wants to be his usual, so I'm going to make that happen for him. I'm in negotiations for Jason and Jack. I am pushing for something super cute, so I hope they go for it!

Sent Home

Well, it finally happened. 6 weeks into the school year, someone was sent home for COVID symptoms. Shawn was sent home this afternoon because he had symptoms:

• fever of 100*
• congestion
• fatigue

Oddly, he didn't have any symptoms when he left school. He wasn't feverish. He wasn't congested. And well, when you have CP and walk around a large school, you are bound to be fatigued. It was also 93* outside and Shawn had just come in from sitting outside in the sun. Still, this means he has to go get a COVID test and a negative result before he can go back. That means he's out for at least tomorrow, too, while we wait for results that we know will be negative. Sigh.

I mean, we get it. We have to be safe. It's hard not to be frustrated, though, especially when there are zero symptoms at home.
