The One Where We Got Lice

We had a horrible surprise around 8pm Monday night - we found lice in Harper's hair!  This set off a major panic!  We all had a small amount of it.  Alex went to the store and bought every over the counter lice treatment option.  We all did home treatments.  I furiously washed, vacuumed and cleaned everything in the house.  Lulu and I stayed up most of the night.  The kids missed out on school and their activities on Tuesday.  We decided to just pay the crazy cost to have the lice treated 100% at a lice clinic in Charlotte.  Alex and Ethan were clean after the home treatments.  Harper and I required further treatment.  So super gross!  At least we are now lice-free!
         
All the lice medication!
    
Lulu and I spent hours on laundry.

Rainy Weekend

Lulu had her first vet appointment Friday afternoon.  She ate lots of treats and was a good girl with her shots. 
   
   
    
The kids had their last curling practice on Saturday.
   
   
   
    
After curling, we met up with friends at a park.  Unexpectedly, the sky let loose with hail and rain!  We got soaked!
   
    
We decided to go to an arcade instead.
    
     
We had tickets for Monster Jam Saturday night.  None of us had ever been and I wanted to check it out!  Harper loved it, but Ethan was terrified of the noise.  We all had earbuds as it was very loud!
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
         
It rained all day Sunday so we had a lazy day.  Harper's friend came over to play and meet Lulu.

A Week of LuLu

We have been enjoying little LuLu this week!  She is so very sweet.  Harper doesn't put her down and Ethan has a lot of tough love to share.  She tolerates the kids very well!  She spends every night snuggling with Harper.  She has been the perfect addition to the family.
           
Couch snuggles!
     
She was curious about bath time.
    
She enjoys story time.
    
   
        
I left work early on Friday to eat lunch with the kids!  When you eat lunch with your child, they get to bring two friends with them to a special table.  It was so fun!  Luckily, they eat lunch at different times.
      
       
   
LuLu got her own bed.  She loves it!
   
   
Harper's soccer team won their game on Saturday!
    
      
We drove to Cary after the game for our family to meet LuLu.
    
   
   
    
The kids stayed with Lisa Saturday night.  They had a blast!
    
    
We celebrated Claire on Sunday with a bridal shower from the Regans.  It had an Italian theme.
    
    
   
   
   
   
   
    
   
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
     
LuLu made the drive to and from Cary entertaining.  The kids could not get enough snuggles.
