Mama and Daddy came down with the FLU this past week even though we all got the flu shot this year. It was a doozy for them and the timing couldn't have been worse with Purim - especially since we had costumes and big plans to celebrate. By Monday Daddy was already in bed but Mama made a valiant effort (can you tell who typed this) to get everything ready for the week and try to observe Purim. We put on costumes (Zoe is wearing a different one then shemodeled in the previous entry) and headed over the the Shul in the hopes that someone would see us. Only the handyman was there, but he did his best. An important note, Zoe was wearing a special outfit Aunt Rebecca had brought home from Thailand way back when Zachary was born but it never fit him at the right time to wear a costume.
After all the work to get to Shul Mama was pooped too so the kids got into PJs (no bath) and got to watch a dvd before bedtime. This was a rare treat and the kids enjoyed while Mama and Daddy rested a little more.
The day of Purim, Zoe enjoyed many treats for lunch from her Shalach Manot bag from school and we were grateful to have less work to do to make her lunch. She is also showing off her Queen Esther crown that she made. Needless to say, Mama and Daddy missed the Purim play at school and friends photos haven't yet arrived. We are all so grateful that Grandma Gaile came up from Florida to help out so Mama and Daddy could rest and the kids wouldn't be neglected and thankfully now everyone is doing better!
