NPL

Morgan's soccer team is playing the NPL for the Spring season. Well, they are starting early! Our winter league hasn't even finished yet and we're already playing outdoor Spring league games! All of the NPL games are supposed to be on Friday nights played in Schaumburg at the Olympic Park. The first game was Friday night and it was a cold one! Avery and I didn't go because she had dance rehearsal and needed a ride.

It had been snowing/sleeting/raining during the day. The temperature during the game was around 29 degrees! Morgan played goalie half the game and in the field the second half. They played a really good team and lost 4-1. Morgan scored their only goal.

Variety Show

The Variety Show went great! The girls did an awesome job announcing all the acts and in their opening and closing numbers. And they had a blast! There were so many great acts and lots of talent at the show!

A couple videos from the show:

Variety Show Dress Rehearsal and School Show

Avery and Morgan are emcees for the Variety Show this year. This week they had a rehearsal at the Tivoli, a dress rehearsal at school and then a show during school hours on Friday. So, I think they are ready for the big show on Saturday at the Tivoli!

All of the Emcees

Morgan and Avery get to share the stage a few times

Reading buddies

Avery loves working with her reading buddy. They match the 6th graders up with younger kids and they meet up a few times a month to work on crafts, read books, etc.

Cookies!

Morgan was bored and hungry, so she made us some cookies! Yum! :)

Day 6 of the flu

This poor kiddo! I really hope she starts to get some energy back soon!

So much Flu A this year!

For some reason, this year is the year of Flu A. Seems like everyone is getting it! Morgan had it back in January and was down for more than a week. She ended up with pneumonia afterwards. Seemed like she was never going to shake it!

Then, after the Super Bowl, my mom got Flu A really bad and was out of commission for two weeks. I also had something that same week, but never officially tested. I assumed it was Flu A because I felt like crap and just wanted to sleep all week! Just as I started feeling better, I got a sinus infection that was no fun. I had such pressure in my sinuses and such a bad headache that I was so dizzy! I finally felt better after a couple days of decongestant, Tylenol and sleep! It just happened to be on the day the girls had off for President's Day. Morgan had a made a checklist of all the fun things we were going to do that day and I was just not up for moving at all. I felt so bad that we couldn't do everything! Btw, Matt did take them shopping to Kohl's to pick out some fun stuff at Sephora.

And now, just as I started feeling better, Avery ended up with Flu A. She started feeling bad Tuesday after Acro class. Then, by Wednesday morning, she had a high fever and felt terrible. So, she's been home sleeping and binging TV shows with me while I work. I bought some of the home tests because there's no reason to go the doctor for a virus. When we tested Avery, it immediately showed up as Flu A - like no waiting 15 minutes... you got it! Poor kiddo is doing better but coughing like crazy.
