Friday’s Roundup (2 Comments)

Filed under: Uncategorized — The Spider Herself @ 2:45 pm

Another week has zoomed by. Hans is excited because tomorrow is Saturday- partly because his Dad will be home and partly because he gets to watch cartoons (a lot of them).

Illness: It seems to be receding but is still here. Kirsten says she has a “funny, little voice”. It is rather squeaky. She is bothered by stuff in her throat and her nose is still runny. Talia is pretty chipper but has a runny nose also. Both girls are giving me no trouble at nap time- going right to sleep so you know they are tired. Hans is better but still some nose stuff. Brett is slowly improving also but has had trouble sleeping, partly due to a stuffy nose. I keep thinking that maybe I am getting something too but still am keeping it at bay. I am sleeping really soundly and quite a bit too.

Surprises in the mail! One was a fun “pic-a-nic” basket from my friend Boo Boo yesterday. A touching card and green Crocs (clogs). They have been quite comfortable for my picky feet so far. There are nubbies on the sole to massage the feet- feels really nice! Then today a nice long letter from our harvesting friends in Kansas. What fun to catch up on all of the goings on. Makes me feel like I am right there. It’s the little things in life that make it fun.

Walks: I got up the gumption to insist on a walk again today. The sun is shining! Yeah! Praise the Lord! It so helps the spirits when the sun is out. It shines in the windows and warms the house as well as my soul. It stated out pretty cold this morning but was up to 32 when we went out for the walk. There was a slight breeze but the sun felt so good. The kids didn’t fight too much about going out- I think the sunshine helped with that. We just walked down and back- didn’t do any extra because I think everyone is still not totally up to full energy. It felt nice!

Now on to the weekend!

  1. Glad you got them! I’ve got everyone I know here hooked on them, including Ian! They are antibacterial and the patented material they are made from, Croslite, conforms to you foot as your feet warm them. There are several knockoff brands which look similar but are not at all as comfortable. And yes, the massaging nubbies are wonderful!
    Did you figure out that the strap can flip forward so they can be worn as easy slip-on/slip-offs, or it can flip back behind your heel to more securely anchor them on your feet. My preference is flipped forward. Most everyone I know wears them that way.

    Glad everyone is on the mend!

    Love you BooBoo

  2. I had the strap the back of my foot at first, just because they came that way. BUT, Little Miss Fashion Statement amended them for me. I think so that they would look more like her “Logs”. They work well either way, I thought I’d have more slippage this way but that is not the case.
    April!
