Week of 8/31 and the next one too ;)

Noah & Nick at Dr
This last week has been nothing like I expected it to be. I decided earlier this year to school 6 weeks on and 1 off. This week was our first week off. I had planned on letting the kids enjoy their time and spend time with free reading after visiting the library :) On Thursday we were suppose to leave for Georgia and visit some of what we had been studding in history previously.
   The first part of the week went pretty well. I cleaned and got things moving in the right direction. Monday 4 of the kids had dentist appointments which went well :) NO cavities!!!
just before surgery
   Tuesday was more Dr appointments :) Noah had his check up and all was well there too. After the doctors, Brie and Noah had TKD and we came home to a sick daddy :( This is where our nice-fun weekend turned a tad ;). Wednesday night we thought Big Tony had a stomach but, but by the morning we realized something was really wrong. He had pain in his lower abdomen that just continued to grow. By Thursday morning his mom took him to the ER. Since his pain was in the lower part of his abdomen I thought it may be his appendix, and it was. That evening he was headed to surgery to get it removed.  Thankfully, he already had Thursday-Monday off for vacation because we were suppose to leave on the following day. Unfortunately, after all the planning he did, he didn't get to go :(
   Thankfully the surgery went well and he is recovering nicely :)
Amber!!!
    Since our family "vacation" actually had a purpose to it, (Mimi had to go to French embassy in Atlanta, GA) we still had to leave. That was probably one of the hardest things I have done, leaving my dh behind, but my parents took care of him and he got some great quiet time. Also, my friend Amber was able to come with us so that was nice having a little extra help ;0)


   So, since we went to Atlanta, we had a great time ;) It was also my mother-in-law's b-day during the trip ;) Since it was a quick trip I took the kids to a park downtown while she was out then we went to Lego Land!! The kids had a blast here. There was a great big play area for babies/toddlers that the little ones enjoyed, a 4-D movie theater, rides, and all the legos you could play with :) It was a great adventure. Thankfully we are home now. Tony is doing better. We did unfortunately have a stomach bug go through our house the following week, but plan on having a nice and normal school week this coming up week and Tony should (fingers crossed) be going back to work :) I have loved having him home, but ready for some normalcy to return to this household :)
