Yes, we have a champion in the house!!! The undefeated 4th grade girls Blackburn Bobcats won the Championship tournament on Sat am!!! They came out slower than usual, took almost all of the 1st half to get in their "groove". But they finally settled down and started making their shots. It was our lowest scoring game all season 17-6. Kat even scored, also had several turnovers, but "whatever". The girls were really tickled and so were the parents, as you might guess. We get to order a banner for the Blackburn gym with their names on it---so cool!!! They all are planning on wearing their t-shirts tomorrow that are marked "Champions" on the back!!! I can't imagine how nerve wracking to have a high school star, professional athlete or Olympian in the family. The 4th grade championship was pretty exciting!!
Unfortunately Mark missed the game. He had to take Abby to the dr at 7:50 am. She came home on Fri with a 103.5 fever. This was particularly odd since she had been on antibiotics since Monday and her double root canal. Plus M was coughing his lungs up so he let Dr. M look at him. He is on new meds and hopefully will feel better soon. Abby is still down, testing negative for strep, the flu and mono. I had a paranoid moment and thought about taking her across KC to Children's Mercy in the tornadoes tonight. Sometimes the internet has too much info. I will call the dr in the am and see what he thinks. I'm thinking M will be home too--yay.
Jess came home Fri night in time to watch the Harry Potter 4 with us. She still has PILES of laundry around. Don't know what she plans to do this week. It's good to have her "big ole laugh" around here.
The severe weather is gone now. Will Lysol some stuff before I go to bed. I'll update if Abby has mono or meningitis :( or whatever.

Whoo-hoo! City champs, eh? Way to go, girl! Make her a fresh batch of those good chocolate chip cookies and throw in some extra chocolate chips for me, would you?! My stomach just growled from just thinking about it. I'm hopeless....
Hey, that's serious stuff about Ab. You're a good mom, so I know you'll watch her like a hawk. After 5 kids, you know well how to trust your insticts. I still remember the time 12 years ago when we had to take Tim to Children's. It was a hard decision to make, but it was a good one. Hopefully Ab's fever will break and Mark will get over his distemper and you all can enjoy spring for a change.
Keep us posted and know we're warrioring for you.

Thanks, man! The dr called this am--he's so nice. He wants to see her this pm. He also said that M will have to "tough it out." Sounds better coming from the dr than the wife. lol Thanks for the warrior-ing. :)
I haven't had time to celebrate Miss Kat yet---I was fending off an urge to take her to Cold Stone Creamery (beware of the new one in Branson). Don't need the calories--don't want her to get a taste of the "good stuff" either---lol. Some mom.....we'll see. Maybe a Costco yogurt. lol
