Our Spring Break didn't start off too great. Friday, just as I was leaving work, I got the call that Payton's temp was over 103. She had had a little bit of a runny nose and a low grade temp the day before, but I was hoping it wouldn't amount to anything. We don't ever get that lucky. I rushed to take her to Dyersburg to see Dr. Melton before their office closed for the weekend, and it turns out she had a severe sinus infection. They gave her a dose of tylenol when we arrived, but her temp climbed the entire time we were there, and they were concerned for her so they gave her a dose of motrin once it reached 104 and within a half hour it was down a full degree to 102.9, so they gave her a sinus cocktail shot and a prescription for antibiotics and let us go home. Saturday morning, she woke up grumpy but her fever was down, so we decided to go to breakfast at iHop and do some shopping. We got her a new Minnie Mouse nightgown, and as soon as we got home, she put it on and she was a brand new girl. Minnie fixes everything!
Sunday morning, we went to church. The weather was absolutely beautiful, so the girls and I spent the entire afternoon outside. Then Monday, the weather was similar, so we spent another day enjoying the sunshine. I worked on some housework and got some sewing done as well. I love Spring Break!
Tuesday, we went to The Children's Museum of MEmphis with Liz and Kaden. Our kids were decked out in green for St. Patrick's Day; no one wants to get pinched! ;)
We had such a good time at the Children's Museum. Payton got to do so much. I was afraid she'd be too small for a lot of it, but she really wasn't. They learned a lot and had so much fun doing it. I'm glad we've made this an annual tradition!
Thursday was Liz's 30th birthday, so I brought her over some lunch and we had a little picnic in her living room floor. That was a lot of fun! Then she kept Payton for the afternoon and Rylee and I headed to get our hair done.
Last Tuesday, Rylee had a substitute at school, and decided to pull a fast one on her and give herself a hair cut. She cut the front of her hair pretty short, and it couldn't deal with it being short in the front and long in the back any longer,s o we went to get it evened out. I cried and cried over it, but it really isn't that big of a deal. She looks absolutely adorable with her new haircut. I think it just made me sad because she looks so much more grown up now. Where did my baby go?!
After we got our hair done, we headed back to Liz and Brandon's for dinner. Brandon made chicken nachos and the kids decorated the house and made Liz a cake. We laughed and played and sang happy birthday. I think everyone had a really good time.
