The week that was

I have to say, getting back on our school routine was really rough on Monday! Both Sunshine & I weren't happy to be getting up at 630 again! But we're back on track. Letters home to parents for the Book Fair were copied, stapled to the flyer & have gone home. Next week I need to give the teachers their Wish List forms & hang the sign up schedule sheets in the teachers lounge. Friday is set up & then we're in full gear for 5 days.

Sunshine woke up yesterday with a tummy bug that kept her home from school. You know your child is sick when they crawl into your bed, take a 2 1/2 hour nap in the morning & then a 1 hr nap in the afternoon. The nice thing about Hunter's schedule is he's done for the day around noon on Fridays so I was able to get my errands done. Sadly, Friday was to be Sunshine's "school birthday" so I had made 2 dozen cupcakes to be decorated at school.

Luckily she was so much better today & was able to run to Target to use a gift card fr
om Hunter's aunt to buy more Squinkies. In case you were wondering, the Gumball Surprize! Playhouse was the item purchased as the Cupcake Surprize! Bake Shop was sold out.

Then we ran next door to PetSmart to pick up Smitty who was being groomed. The funniest thing happens to us in the spring when we go to PetSmart on an adoption weekend. Today, this little girl came home with us. She's a 2 1/2 year old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix & is an absolute love. She's found her food & water bowls, has already snuggled Sunshine in her bed (she's there now!) & so far (knock wood!) is getting along with Smitty. We'll be going to the vet hopefully on Monday & I'm hoping she gets a clean bill of health. Isn't she so cute?!!!!

  1. The new puppy is adorable!

    Our kids are not allowed to bring in food to celebrate their birthdays (or really, food to share ever). It makes me really sad.

    I hope Sunshine is able to share her school birthday another day!

  2. A lot of schools are going toward a "no outside food to share" policy. We have a couple nut allergies in our class, so that's the only restriction, for now. Did you see that a school (or schools? I can't remember) in Chicago are banning lunches from home? Sunshine would starve at lunch time as she's not a fan of school lunches.
