February 25 - 101 Dalmations

My birthday weekend was busy with the region swim meet, the elementary school fair and the Superbowl. In belated news, thank you all for the birthday wishes. I celebrated by sleeping in, taking the dogs on a 4 mile walk and then watching the Superbowl at Tammy's with the kids. JD made me a delicious walnut cake for dessert. A perfect, relaxing day! And super funny, look at the picture below of who thought he was human and tried to join us for cake. 

The following day, February 12th, was the 101st day of school. The 1st graders dressed like 101 Dalmations to celebrate. So adorable! This was not a tradition when Julia and Luke were in school and I love this new addition to the school year. It was so fun for the kids! 

In other news (the same week), Luke tried out for the middle school golf team. Twelve boys tried out for 5 slots (5 total for 7th and 8th grade combined) and he did not make it, but I'm very proud of him for trying. The boy next to him (who also didn't make it) came with his own private golf coach. Wowsa!

The day after golf tryouts, Jillian came home from school and went to a dinosaur education event at a local elementary school with her friend Leeya. She left after 45min not feeling well and threw up that night. The next day she spiked a 105.5 fever and a quick trip to urgent care yielded a positive test for flu A. Never a dull moment!
