weekend update

well ... we were on such a roll. and then a two-week drought. so, here we are with another weekend update. the intervening weekend will just have to be a lost one (but not in the vegas sense). suppose you can tell something about the level of chaos in our lives (or the wax and wane of the mania of the primary author). but no matter ... this weekend's update:

once again, hair wanted cutting. both jack and annie's. but first jack.

he woke up saturday, after having a fever on friday, feeling poorly and crying about a sore throat. so, we took him to the doctor to have a strep test. it came back negative and the verdict was "something viral" and the recommendation was for cold soft foods, like popsicles and ice cream.

so following doctor's orders we headed to starbucks for "shakes." and, between shakes and acetaminophen, jack was sufficiently perked up so that he was ready for the barber shop.

not to be left out ... annie too needed a haircut, so sunday -- after a run to target and a stop at mcdonald's for lunch to soothe some hungry, cranky children -- we went to the chop shop for miss thing too.

we rounded out our weekend with some pool time and family togetherness. ah bliss.

steady on.
