Handley's short-lived fever

Yesterday afternoon during rest time, Handley fell asleep on the couch (which never happens) and when she woke up she was burning up and seemed really groggy.  I took her temperature and it was really high, but after some Tylenol, two popsicles and a juice box, it came down and she perked up a little bit.  Her fever kept creeping up during the night, but this morning she woke up fever-free.  She stayed home from school today, and was excited to have a day alone with me since Harper was at school.

After Hudson's nap we made a quick stop by the grand opening of a brand new grocery store.  It was SLAMMED!  There were people everywhere, cars were parking on the curb because their were no spots left and I saw two old ladies getting into it over a handicap parking spot.  I should have just kept on driving, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.  It was a gorgeous store and it's really close to the pre-school, so I will definitely be making frequent trips there.  While we were there we came across several characters, which made Handley really excited.

When we left the store we got a quick lunch and then picked up Harper from school.  She's always excited to show me what she makes at school and today she was wearing it! She came home wearing a police hat she made and she was pretty proud of it.

This afternoon we spent a little time playing outside.  After what felt like days and days of clouds and rain, it was nice to see the sun shining.

He always has smiles for Handley

Handley seemed a little off today and not totally herself, but this evening she was bouncing off the walls, singing, and dancing around.  She is definitely back to the happy and healthy little girl we love and I am thankful that it was really short-lived!
