Flying Foxes

December catch-up continued... Two weeks ago we went to the Waldorf School's Winter Fair. We were excited to finally check out the school because we want to explore the possibility of Spencer going there (if we win the lottery!). Anyway, it's a magical place and the Winter Fair was neat. You could go from classroom to classroom and do little crafts. Spencer made a pretty, glittery spinning top and two ornaments - one foil and one felt.

But the highlight was the Flying Fox - a zipline that Spencer and Daddy rode. This video does not do it justice - I wasn't in a good spot to film it. But they had fun and went so fast! We were proud of Spencer for being brave and wanting to try out this ride. He wanted to do it again but the line was miles long and we were starving.



Later that day, Spencer started running a fever and it got up to 104.5. That was the second weekend in a row he had fever, so Daddy took him to see Dr. Bayer first thing Monday morning. Turns out he had strep. Ugh! But luckily the little guy didn't really feel all that bad. He enjoyed having a few days of TV and couch rest. Unfortunately it meant he couldn't go to Piper and Beckett's birthday party or my Christmas concert. We were all so disappointed to miss those events!

And speaking of sickness, we found out our little Olive has hyperthyroidism and a bout of pancreatitis. Unfortunately, hyperthyroidism is treatable but not curable - she'll be on twice daily meds her whole life. She's feeling so much better and is back to her old spry self again!
