Weekend News

We had Elkin's soccer game Friday evening and Abuelita (Mariela was able to attend). Only 5 of our 9 kids were there and Elkin was all over the field, but it was a very physical game. Elkin was knocked down, pushed, tripped and one time when he got pushed down he rolled over the ball on to the top of his head. Finally, he was knocked down about 5 minutes before the end of the game and he was done. We were very proud of how good he played even though it was a hard game.

After the game Gil stayed home with Esai and I went out on a dinner date to Chili's with Erico and Elkin. We had such a nice time! We colored in our coloring books, talked, laughed and had a great time! Thanks Gil for watching Esai!

In the middle of the night, we noticed Erico had a fever, a very high fever. So all weekend we had Erico taking Tylenol and Motrin, to keep his 102 fever under control. Usually, I do not like giving the kids medicine unless they need it, and since nothing else would get his temperature down, I turned to the medicine. Erico has not been sick for about 2 1/2 years, so I guess I have a been overly concerned.

During the time that Erico was feeling ok, we did some arts and crafts and I also baked whole wheat bread!

Also, I have finally got caught up on all of the laundry! I only have half a load that is dirty, so my goal is to was a load of clothes at least every other day, so that I don't get lost in a closet full of dirty clothes again!!

Erico is still not feeling 100%, so he stayed home with me today and I will probably keep him home tomorrow. Hopefully he will be better soon!
