Eleanor was sick

Our poor baby was sick last week. We didn't do much but cuddle and let her rest. I did take her to the dr and she didn't have an ear infection or anything, just a virus. She did receive a blessing and I was grateful she slowly started turning back into her happy self. She was sick for a solid week - Monday to Saturday. I hate when my babies are sick. 

Before I tossed these pictures, I decided to take a picture of them for our memory book of when we went to Chuck E. Cheese together.

On Monday morning, Eleanor work up with a high fever. :(

Our family home evening lesson was about putting on the whole armor of God. We found these costumes at the dollar store and the boys wanted to be knights for Halloween. I put together our FHE lesson and it was a hit. Aaron shot marshmallows at the boys once they had on all their armor. 

The boys made jello for dessert and we felt fancy with whipped cream and sprinkles on top.

While Eli was at school, Austin made these robots out of legos. He made one for Eli too. He's a thoughtful brother and still misses Eli when he's at school!

I held Eleanor all week. She was so, so sick.

One day we needed to get some fresh air so we went on a little walk. I laughed seeing Austin with two different shoes - at least he had them on the right foot!

Alex and her kids were still on fall break so they came over for the day. When I ran Eli to school, Alex stayed with Austin and Eleanor and I was able to see the firefighters visit Eli's kindergarten class that day. I love being able to be at the school whenever possible!

Friday night I ran to get some groceries and picked up some ice cream for Aaron and me. Our date night!

I felt extra exhausted last week and this quote made me smile. It was from General Conference and I made it the backdrop on my phone.

Saturday morning I was able to go to Denver and go to Time Out for Women with Alex. We loved our sister time together! We enjoyed the day listening to the speakers and going out for lunch. We need to plan more sister time! I felt guilty for leaving because Eleanor had been so sick, but Aaron (and Mary Beth!) took great care of her until I got home.

Spencer and Mary Beth and their kids drove to Maryland and on the drive back, they stopped at our house! I got home early Saturday evening and was happy to see the Volks! It was a quick time together, but it's always a treat seeing family!
