Life with the Bussis'- 2.27.17

Well it's been another week of colds. :( Micah stayed home from Little Lambs on Tuesday and school on Wednesday because he was just coughing so bad. Jonathan coughed so bad at night that he threw up two nights. And then David was coughing so bad Saturday night he couldn't even eat dinner. They all seem to be better now but now Anna has a horrible cough (sounds so bad in her chest) and she woke up with a 104.5 fever. So I'm taking her in this afternoon to make sure it's nothing bad. She's had this cold for about 3 weeks and if it's settling in her chest I just want to have it checked out. So that's what we've been dealing with over here.

Anna is also still working on her bottom molars so her fingers are often in her mouth (which is probably why she keeps getting sick :))

She's starting to figure out puppets and it's so cute

David and Jonathan haven't quite figured out how you put on a puppet show :)

But then Micah came over and showed them.

Micah usually brings home these Elephant and Piggie books from the school library and we've figured out that we can act them out with our elephant and pig puppets.

I have to get my wedding ring inspected every 6 months and the closest jewelry store I can take it into is over 2 hours away, so the kids and I made a trip there on Friday. They all did so well in the car (of course having a DVD play really helps :))

 

The boys getting out some energy while we waited for my ring to be inspected and cleaned :)

Thankfully the mall the jewelry store was in had a kids play area. It wasn't huge, but it was enough for them to get some energy out of.

Anna enjoyed getting to play too

She climbed up there all by herself

 

She got some help at times (always unwanted :))

Taking a little rest :)

After the mall we headed over to Toys 'R Us. The kids had all gotten gift cards to there from someone from church for Christmas, so they got to go around and pick something out. Jonathan was over optimistic on how far his $25 gift card would go. :)

Thankfully they didn't take too long to figure out what they wanted.

 

At home with what they picked out.

I had a couple fun things waiting for me at home. My license plate frame that I had for probably 10 years had cracked, so I had ordered a new one and it came!

 

We bought a new refrigerator! I find it fun to get to organize and set up a new fridge :) 

 

Saturday was pretty fun. When my Mom came last month my Dad was suppose to come but he ended up not being able to because of problems on the dairy. So he decided to come this past weekend and he let my mom come again. I hadn't told the boys they were coming in case something happened again and they weren't able to come for some reason. So Saturday morning when they got up there was a video for them to watch from my parents on the plane saying they were coming to see them. It was pretty fun, they were pretty excited! So here we are waiting for their plane to come in (our airport has a fireplace, we seriously have the coolest airport!)

After we picked them up we headed over to Fuddruckers for lunch and games. Grandpa even got in on the games.

Anna wanted to play the piano game (on a side note, I got the high score on the game :))

Anna also greatly enjoyed her chocolate chip cookie she got

Grandpa helping Micah with some of his makeup homework he had from missing a day of school

They even got Grandpa to play Mario Kart with them. Thanks so much for coming!! (and I promise, my mom really came too, I just realized I never took any pictures with her in it :)).

Anna's not feeling well, but she's still silly and wants on of my exercise headbands on :)
