Healthy and Busy

The boys are finally healthy! They did miss school on Wednesday and Thursday, though. We did not have school Friday, so that gave them a free day to rest. I am very hopeful that we are done with this junk for a while. And, no, Lizzie did not end up sick.

On Friday, the kids and I headed to town for some shopping and lunch. We went shopping for gifts to put in our Operation Christmas Child boxes. The kids loved picking out things to send to their "friends." It does my heart good to see the kids getting so excited about giving. We also browsed the toy section and made their Christmas lists. After the massive 1 and 1/2 hour trip to Target, we decided to get some lunch. Zach wanted Fazoli's but the little ones were not excited. We went there and now we have three Paragi children who are in love with those breadsticks.

Lizzie was eating double-fisted - a breadstick in each!

On Saturday, Zach had a basketball game. His team won 25 to 15. It was their first win. Zach was disappinted that he only got to play for 10 minutes. I tell you what, that was a wise choice on his coach's part. At the end of the second 5 minutes, he was really gasping for air. He had basically been lying around sleeping all week so his stamina is shot! He did well during those 10 minutes though. According to him, the stats were as follows: forced 2 jump balls, 2 outright steals, and 3 assists.

Warming up before the game.

Jacob and Lizzie enertained themselves very well during the game. When they weren't cheering or eating pretzels, they read books.

Today brought Sunday School and church. This afternoon, we had a swimming party for the kids who have been attending Sunday School this quarter. Of course, our three fish had a wonderful time.

Taking a quick break for a picture!

This picture is so Jacob! He runs on a level 10 100% of the time!


Everybody is tucked into bed, and even though it isn't quite 9:00, I think Brian and I may be headed that way too! We are tired after a busy, yet very fun, weekend.
