Weekend
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
On Saturday it rained almost all day. Nicole took Parker and Zac to watch JJ play soccer in the morning, but I stayed home and caught up on a little sleep and did a few things around the house. We spent the rest of the morning and afternoon playing inside. Parker and Zac were going to spend the night at JJ’s house that night so they kept asking, “Is it time to leave yet? Now is it time to go? Can we leave?” haha. They packed their overnight bags and were ready to go! We dropped them off around 4:00pm and came back home to watch some of the UK game and to decide what we wanted to do the rest of the evening.
The forecast was calling for heavy snow and “blizzard-like conditions” beginning later in the evening, but we decided that we could make it out to dinner and back home before the bad weather started. We chose to go to Texas Roadhouse so we put our name down on the online wait list so we could stay home and watch some more of the game. When we got to the restaurant we only had to wait about 3 minutes before our table was ready…a win for technology! It worked out great because we got to catch the end of the UK game, which was very close. UK won and dinner was great! We stopped at Kroger to fill up on gas and use our points and then went to Whit’s on the way home for dessert It was delicious like always. It was a great date night!
On Sunday we shoveled the driveway because we got about 5 inches of snow. Then we drove to pick up Parker and Zac…they had a great time at their sleepover 🙂
Unfortunately, Zac’s eye was red and watery so we went to the Little Clinic to get it checked out and get some drops. It turns out he most likely has some sort of eye infection/irritation related to a cold/virus that he has because he was also running a low grade fever. The rest of the day we just played inside because it was too cold to go out and sled ride and we wanted Zac to rest because he continued to have a fever the rest of the day. The boys loved watching Adam plow each of our neighbor’s driveways with is Ranger…we’re extremely lucky to have the neighbors that we do! After dinner Zac said he was “freezing” so he went to bed early so that he could rest and feel better.
Today Nicole and I were both off work. Nicole took the boys to the dentist because they all had appointments in the morning. Mine is next week so I went out and got a haircut and dropped off some jewelry at Kay’s to add a gemstone to a necklace. Nicole picked up Amie and then brought McDonald’s home for lunch. We just had a family day today and stayed home again. Zac still has his fever so it’s been good to let him rest and try to feel better. Nicole was going to take a sick day at work tomorrow to stay home with Zac, but then we found out the Kenton County schools are closed tomorrow! The roads must still be bad in some really rural areas.
Back to work for me tomorrow…
