Ice Skating

Well after I finished work today we made the decision to take the girls ice skating. Kate said she felt upto it, although I'm betting maybe she didn't really, but she tried very hard to be better.
The session went for 2 hrs, but by the time we got there, nearly one hour was already up, which suited us fine as I didn't want Kate getting too cold for too long. Plus it was plenty long enough for Jonah, for Ruby who needed alot of help, and for Amie who had to keep stopping to feed Jonah. Ella was in her element and after going around once holding onto the sides, she took off like she had been doing it forever. Kate was pretty cold and wet afterwards, so we headed to the cafe for hotdogs and hot chocolates. We will definitley have to go again.

Poor Kate

Kate is not well at all. She has a strep throat which is causing her to cough and cough and cough some more. All day and all night until she vomits. She's on AB's which have stomped the fever out, pretty soon we are hopeful that the other symptons will subside. She also has either Swine Flu or a croup type virus that is going around at present. It's nearly the end of the school holidays. We have two things left on the list the kids wish to do. Swimming and Ice Skating. This afternoon is the only day we can go skating as Ruby goes to her grandparents tonight for the weekend. Dancing starts back tomorrow and they can't afford to miss any more classes with a concert coming up! School swimming lessons start on Tuesday, in term 4. Get well Kate, you poor poppet!
