     Another few weeks have passed by in the Fisher house.  Let’s get caught up on what has happened.  McCabe is recovering from a bacterial infection received from wrestling.  It started out with a sore on his neck, then arm, then chin.  I took him to the doctor’s office thinking it was impetigo, but the doctor said it was some sort of bacterial infection.  While at the doctor’s office, McCabe was measured, and it is official.  He is now taller than is mom.  He measured 5’10 ½” and mom only measures at 5’10”.  He has waited a long time for this moment.  He got a big smile across his face.

    Xadia made a beautiful castle for one of her school assignments.  I was so impressed with her creativity.  She made stain glass windows and glued flowers and moss on the outside of the castle.  She also created a little throne inside the castle which can be seen when you look through the doors or the windows.  I am so pleased with how much my kids are growing.  With growth also comes sneakiness.  The other day, I walked into the office and Xadia was eating one of Tim’s special peanut butter pretzel treats.  When confronted with her actions, she just smiled and then tried to hide the treat behind her binder.  But it was too late.  The chocolate on the corners of her mouth made her guilty.

    When the older kids go to mutual, Teagan and I get to spend some time together.  When asking Teagan what he likes to do, he likes to play Star Dew Valley or hang out in the sauna/steam room listening to the Star Dew Valley soundtrack.  So we put on our swimsuits.  Put some essential oil in the steamer groove and turn on the steam.  Teagan finds the steam room very relaxing.  I like it on a cold day.  Teagan also had a birthday this past week.  Tim and I stopped by his school and surprised him with some balloons and a little gift of pencils, erasers, and candy.  There were enough erasers to share with his classmates.  I think he really liked it.

    Jacinda stays busy with work, Guys and Dolls, and school.  She is also planning on going to prom with Seth.  I suggested making her outfit.  She sent me a few drawings and finally decided on one.  This will be really fun.  I also tried to convince her to let me do her make-up but she wants her friend, A.J. to do it.  Oh well, can’t win them all.  

    Fozzie is our favorite family dog.  On cold winter's day, he wears his home-made shamrock vest.  When he is done wearing it, he brushes along the couches to get it off.  He is such a silly dog.
