Presidents Weekend With Ava

Where has this month gone?? Time is sure going by fast. I can't believe it is already the middle of March! I have a lot of blogging to get caught up with. We were lucky to have Ava come stay with us Presidents Weekend from Saturday morning to Monday morning. Unfortunately Kaiya was sick that weekend. I can't even remember the last time Kaiya had a fever, she hardly gets sick but this weekend that was not the case. I felt bad for the girls. With Kaiya being sick their ring leader was down and there was no one to be bossy and to make up silly games. Kaiya tried so hard to get up and play and when she was loaded with Tylenol she was able to get up and play a bit with the girls.
They LOVE to play dress up. Whenever Ava comes over it seems like she goes right to the playroom or the girls room to change into one of Kaiya's old dance costumes or something she had found in her closet. They also love to pose for pictures.









Ava and Ella wanted to go outside. It was pretty cold out so I thought...what the hay, they will only last about 3 minutes max with their swim suits they were wearing. So being the best mom in the world I let them go outside in the cold. With swimsuits on. I was wrong! They didn't want to come back in. The only thing that got them to come inside was when Ella fell in the rocks and mud outside. They were having a blast laughing and dancing.

Ava liked holding her little brother. Jett loved Ava too. She wanted me to take lots of pictures with her and Jett so she could take some home with her.

The whole weekend we just stayed at home and played. On Sunday Cirdan went to church and I stayed home with the sickies. That night we went to my parents house for some dinner. We were going to have a fish fry until Cirdan said we should have a fish grill instead (Mr. Healthy or should I say Mr. Likes to ruin all the fun). The food was good and Ava always enjoys being with Meema and Papa and uncle Nathan.

This is what Kaiya did most the weekend....poor girl.

Silly girls!

Sad news - Ella got sick that Tuesday/Wednesday with a high fever. Cirdan got a text message from Ava's mom on Wednesday night saying that Ava was in the emergency room with a 104 temperature. They tested for strep which came back negative. Within the next 48 hours the girls were all healthy.
