This week was not what we had planned! Monday afternoon took us by surprise and kept on coming! I was ready to head out the door to go to aerobics and suddenly didn't feel so well.
I will spare you the details but I'm so thankful Matt was home because I began throwing up and throwing up some more...ugh! I laid in bed that night praying that this would be my one time of the stomach flu for the season...please Lord! Anyway, then Matt followed suit on Tuesday and then Cooper on Wednseday and oh so thankfully Ava did not follow!!

So this week needless to say we missed several nights of taking time to put leaves on our thanksgiving tree. The kids have looked forward to doing this every night after dinner. Even Cooper loves it although I'm not sure he really knows what I'm asking him each night as we write on his leaf:) It's been great for me to think about what I'm thankful for and how I want to give God praise! We love hearing what Ava says each day...some days it is the same as the day before but some days she really seems to put some thought into it.
After too much time inside this week.....there was TODAY! It was so sunny and warm!! We didn't miss out! We had a whole Saturday with NO plans! How often does that happen?? We really thought hard about going to the zoo because we love the zoo but that would cost money in which we are low on at the moment...so back to the drawing board....we went to one of the great parks in this area that we haven't explored yet....the Cox Arboretum.
These are some of the pics of the day! What a great way to end the week!
