Just Random Stuff

 We all got sick last week, so I had to stay home from work for a few days. That's what sick leave is for, so no big deal. Eliza puked in her bed Sunday morning, then Yogurl got sick Monday morning, then Sabrina threw up in class Monday mid morning, then Clark threw up in bed Monday night. I managed to stay well until late Tuesday, by which time everybody else was on the mend. I was back at work Thursday, and back to normal by Friday. Not sure what happened, an early flu I guess. It was probably viral since Sabrina was in the middle of a run of antibiotics for pink eye and an ear infection. We are all doing fine now. And on to some random pictures!

I think they said they were going to work. 

I've done this with the older kids, but I think this was the first time Eliza got a straight comb "shave" with real shaving cream.

Clark said he wanted me to use a real razor, so I went ahead and gave him his first real shave. I used a gentle soothing after shave rather than giving him the "Home Alone" experience.

Clark started taking Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lessons. He really, really likes them so far. They cost a little more than gymnastics lessons did, but it is closer to home and he is really into it. We still don't know how to tie his belt on.

We are famous!

We went on a date to the chocolate festival, which is always a lot of fun, and my wife was so beautiful that they had to put her on D Magazine's website!

Clark is way ahead of Sabrina on losing teeth. I'm pretty sure she had only lost one by time she turned six. Clark has lost 5 with another wiggler. Losing the top front teeth is the best. I still giggle every time I look at him.

I found some really good poutine in Dallas! It is at a restaurant called Moxie's. I heard about it and rode my bike over there to eat at lunch time one day. Turns out it is sort of like a high class Hooters, so I probably won't go there too often. The poutine is really good, though.

We found a live cicada on our tree. Normally we just find the shells and the kids stick them on our clothes when we aren't looking. This was a live one, though. We took turns holding him, and he held very still for some pictures.
