100th Day of School

It's hard to believe the kids have been in school for 100 days this year! The 100th day actually was supposed to have been Wednesday but due to the two snow days last week it (and the corresponding kindergarten festivities) were pushed back until today ;) Here is Becca with her project, looking forward to a fun day of 100th-day themed activities. 100 days of Kindergarten down, 85 more to go ;)

My Latest Patient

So I finally got Ben back to school today after two days home sick with a stomach bug (and remember Caroline was home sick last Thursday and Friday with the same thing) and now here is my latest patient, just picked up from yesterday's knee surgery! I moved her crate into my office so I can keep an eye on her/ keep her as restricted as possible. I put the cone on her just now because she was trying to lick her leg. But hopefully she won't have to wear it too much. Poor girl :( For the next three weeks she is supposed to stay off her leg as much as possible, no walks / only go outside in the back yard on the leash to do her business and then come right back in. No running in the house, no jumping, rough housing etc of any kind. In three weeks I take her back for a follow-up, and she can have a little more activity after that, but not full off-leash running around until 12 weeks out. Wish us luck with that!

Monday State of the Union

So Caroline went back to school today. She has not had a fever since Friday night, and although she had diarrhea on Friday it did not last long. Her poop yesterday was dark green, which was very odd, but it was not diarrhea so... :) She was however very cranky when she woke up this morning and had about three time-outs before I managed to get her to preschool.

Ben began complaining yesterday morning that his stomach hurt, skipped Hebrew school, and spent most of the day in his pajamas. He rallied mid-afternoon and put his basketball clothes on and went to his basketball game where he scored half his team's points. His team is now 4-1, with the best record in the league (okay the league only has four teams but whatever). Once home he rapidly declined again, and is at this moment curled up in my bed.

So this means that my streak of not having had all 3 kids in school for a full day since last Monday continues :(

Super Bowl Sundaes

Poor Ben. His tummy hurts. But not having a sundae is not an option :)
