It's almost Thanksgiving! That means if I want to blend in with other Americans I have to have all my Christmas decorations up this weekend. Scary or what?
Things have been a little slower around here lately. Hera took part in her first Chess tournament last weekend. Kids who go to these things are usually really good so you can imagine how proud I was when Hera won one of her games out of the three she played. I would put them in more if our weekends weren't full of soccer, tennis, and super group (weekend chess).
Athena is finally feeling better after taking her to the doctor with a bad cold to have her tested for strep. When we had her tested the doctor said she was negative so I started teasing Athena that she was going back to school only to have the doctor say he was concerned that she had the first stages of pneumonia, put her on a round of antibiotics and said I really need to keep her home because she is really sick! He even wrote me a note to excuse Athena from school.
Isi had her shots this last week and started crying ' Sorry, sorry!' at the nurse as if to make her apologize. She couldn't have broken my heart more. Isi is also officially in potty training! I didn't expect her to be ready yet but thought I would let her wear her new princess panties a few hours a day to get used to the idea but now as long as she is home she wants to wear panties and is willing to use the potty. She has been using her own potty all week and even ran to it the other night without me asking and bringing her. We are so proud. Now to get her trained outside the house.
Ted spent the last week in Vegas and is slowly recovering. This week we are going to watch the LA Kings play the Coyotes. It should be a blast.
I hope everyone is doing well and
Happy American Thanksgiving!
Love The Sfikas Family
