Hope you all are doing well and keeping warm! We're back to false spring here. Short sleeve weather!
Here's this week's news:
On Monday, John went in for a follow up with our new pediatric dermatologist. She took him off of the internal anti-fungal and gave him a different cream for his face. She also removed some of the little cysts that were forming. It was pretty painful for him, but he was a trooper! He was excited about his reward though, a LARGE size of french fries from Burger King, which, with the new recipe they unveiled, I understand are now gluten free!
Tuesday was piano, of course.
On Wednesday, John had scouts (I forgot what it was they did). Lyn went over to a friend's to finish up her National History Day project. They were supposed to present during the day on Wednesday, but it turns out that the school didn't have access to their website. Either they weren't told or they didn't see that if they wanted to do a website, they had to do it on Weebly (a free, student website service). So the teacher let them print out the different pages and put them on poster board, and present on Thursday. Good thing Lyn didn't have Activity Day!
By the way, if you want to check out the project, here's the link. As you can see, Lyn forgot a little piece. We haven't gotten the grade yet, so I don't know if she'll be marked down.
Thursday was ballet. Technically it wasn't Crazy Thursday, since John didn't have Chess Club, but it was a little crazy nonetheless. A friend of mine had a launch party for her new business, so Dan met us at ballet and got the kids some dinner, while I headed to the metro and into the district. Turned out my friend wasn't even there! She has moved to Uzbekistan and is doing the business remotely. Anyway, I met and chatted with her business partner and headed back home. It was a quick trip!
On Friday, I attended a business luncheon during the day, which was phenomenal. I was inspired to take my business in a whole new direction!
Friday night, the whole family went to the opening night of Man of La Mancha in McLean. I had auditioned, but alas had not been cast. Of course I always like to see who they thought was better than me! LOL It was pretty good, though it was a opening night, so it hadn't quite jelled yet. Dan said that the lead was better than I would have been. What??? I guess I'm a little too "angelic" to play a prostitute!
On Saturday, I had my third basketball game of the season, and we lost for the third time in a row. LOL I think the score was 51-22. We held them in the first quarter pretty well, but in the second quarter they jumped ahead, and though we held them pretty well in the 3rd and 4th, we just couldn't fill the gap.
Dan missed my game because he was at LTA for a production meeting of... hmm... can't remember. One of the shows he has coming up.
Saturday night I introduced some gluten back into John's diet with a some 50/50 spaghetti (half rice noodles). The dermatologist was quite sure that it wasn't having an effect on his rash, but I wanted to break him in slowly and watch how he reacted. He didn't have any trouble with it. Today, however, I made some 25/75 biscuits for brunch, and I definitely noticed that his rash was more red than it had been. So I think I'm going to back off again for awhile.
Anyway, speaking of today, we had church in the afternoon, of course, and then after dinner the kids and I watched Tuck Everlasting. John read that in class a couple months ago, so it was fun to point out the differences between the book and the movie.
Well, that's it for us. Have a great week!
