Happy President's Day!

Four score and seven years ago our fathers...established a day where kids didn't have to go to school, government workers could take the day off and retailers promoted the "Biggest Sale of the Year!" And how do we celebrate...?  Playing in the snow of course!!

 Ryan and the kids had a great afternoon playing at Hypoint Park. The sledding hill was fast and the snow was great for rolling and snowball fights!

Happy President's Day to our founding fathers and the others who have followed. Now, it's time for some hot chocolate.

WANTED...One Giant Bubble

Today's headlines:

Deadly Flu Charging Across the Nation

Had a flu shot? You'll be OK - Maybe

Flu: Saving your child's life

Flu deaths increasing in children

How does a parent NOT panic when all you hear are these headlines? You really have to dig deep to finally come up with a few that provide some, not much, but some comfort.

Cases down in some areas

But for me, it's just not comforting enough so I am here to admit....

I am THAT mom.

My headline wasn't a joke. If they sold bubbles I'd likely be one of the first few in line. I know there are others worse than I am but I have resorted to even having Teagan skip gymnastics and other sports where the facilities are just a bit too close for comfort. And this weekend? Yup, we're having a stay at home weekend! No playdates and limited shopping excursions. See? Told you I was THAT mom. :)

It seems to be such a fine line between just a cold or mild flu to the full blown flu curse. All the news stories talk of the quick attack and demise of the immune system. So I'm on alert and armed with lots of vitamin C, Zinc gummy bears, hand sanitizer and Clorox Wipes.

We will stay healthy! We will stay healthy!

Cheers to you and your health!

Trick or Treat - Halloween Fun!

Just a few shots of the Stupsky's annual pumpkin carving! Teagan was able to show Nolan the ropes this year!!

BOO!!

Then the big day finally came! Teagan and friends took on the neighborhood and collected all the sugar they possibly could! Nolan was just a spectator this year - but watch out next year!

Then our little devil came back and handed out candy to the big kids who were still trekking through the neighborhood!
