This was not a routine day for any of us.
At the Tomball house, GGM is recovering from her sickness but she is still very weak and needs lots of rest.  Barbara has some aches and chills and headache so she is not at her best.  And at her house, the new wood floor installation stared at 8:30am.  She is happy to find out the workers will be able to finish two rooms completely in the next two days.  That means this weekend those two rooms (my bedroom/toy room and the Lolita room) can be put back together.  Doing the upstairs will take 3 days.

Mimz has volunteered to take care of me the rest of the week, so I won't be underfoot at the floor installation until next week.  I remember Quintin and Sparkie.  I remember Sparkie making a claw with his hand and growling at me.  That was fun.

Anna Kate was the first person to get sick on Monday.  Kristan was hit with it on Tuesday and missed work on Wednesday.  Too bad she got sick since she has so much to do at the end of the school year.   PaPa and Grandma volunteered to take care of Anna Kate today at her house.  So Barbara won't have her underfoot today either.  Barbara appreciated everyone helping her with child care today.  She has been stressed this week trying to keep everyone from getting sick.  The one good thing is Anna Kate never felt bad.  She was happy all day every day.

Well, some bad news.  Around noon, this "sickness" hit Mimz hard.  Barbara is back to normal, so she picked me up from school.   We had Panda Express Black Pepper Chicken for lunch.  So far I like everything I have eaten from that store.

I enjoyed getting reacquainted with Quinton and Sparkie.  They remembered me.  I helped a little.  Quinton showed me how to measure.  He explained about the tapping block.  I handed him a few pieces of wood flooring. 
 I stood back while they ran the saw.
 I found a piece of wood that I pretended was a rifle.  I am pretty good at entertaining myself.
But most of the time, Barbara insisted I stay back, out of their way so they could work at a faster pace than they can with me underfoot.  

GGM thinks she feels better, then it hits her again.  She might get up for a few minutes, but then she is so weak she has to go back to bed.  Hope GGM and Mimz both recover very soon.

Mommy and I helped Barbara and GGF move lots of our belongings into the one room that is completely finished.  I was really into helping with this task.  I worked hard and pretty fast.  GGM helped for maybe ten minutes, then she said she was sorry but she had to go rest.   After we did that, the workers will now only have heavy items to move out of their way.
