Saturday started off nearly perfect. Maggie woke up at 7:30 and I told her if she got up it would be a nap day since she had gone to bed so late. She went back to sleep and ended up sleeping until 9:45 - I think she was lacking on sleep. We got up and ate a late breakfast with intentions of hanging out by the pool all day. Molly was ready to swim as soon as she woke up, but we were able to convince her to wait a couple of hours. While Mike was fixing breakfast, we got a call from the Scrugg's house - the Shriver family was inviting us to come over around 2:30 to go swimming. Maggie was excited at the idea of swimming with Molly (even if she couldn't remember her). The girls got in the pool at home for an hour or so and then we got cleaned up to head over to Libby's house. We made a couple of stops along the way and Molly finally fell asleep in the car. She was so tired (at least we thought). When we got there, Molly took right to Tommy (he had her favorite jelly beans). She was even willing to go downstairs with him alone. Maggie was her usual shy self at first until Mark offered to take her out to feed the ducks. Maggie and
Molly both enjoyed that a lot. Jeanie got back from the store about 15 minuted after we arrived and Molly Shriver was all smiles (she is precious). We went out and joined the duck squad and Maggie was so excited to finally see Molly. We headed to the pool where the true entertainment began.. Molly put her arm floaties on and stayed in the pool for about five minutes ad then got out and climbed into my lap where she never moved from again until she convinced Daddy to get in with her for a few minutes and then it was back to my lap. Mark was a riot - he had the kids playing sharks and minnow (there was a boy named Alex at the pool visiting from Virginia). He didn't give Alex or Maggie and instruction on how to play, he just kept telling them where to be. Maggie was being a good sport, until Mark decided to get in and let all of the kids be minnows. When he decided to make an attack on Maggie, she climbed out of the pool and declared she was done playing. It was too intense for her. Jeannie went and got Emma up from her nap and brought her to the pool, but she wasn't all that excited about the idea of swimming. I tried to convince Molly to show her how to use the arm floaties by tossing her in so she would have to swim back. She cried (which should have been a big sign) and Mark said that will really help Emma want to try them out!! Shortly after that Molly was done - ready to go home. We left there around 4:30 and headed home. Molly slept a little on the drive home, but woke up before we got there (of course we are still thinking she is just tired). When we got home, my whole family including my Aunt Peggy and Uncle Bobby and his crew was here. We took Molly's temperature and it was 103. Mom took her downstairs so she could see Papaw and a few minutes later, she threw up all over my mom. We put her to bed and she slept until 7:15 this morning (she woke up at 9:00, 11:00 and 4:00 when her fever would start to spike again, every time to 103 - her magical temperature). I got her to lay back down with me this morning and she took a short little nap. I think now her temperature may finally be down or even gone. In case you read this Cacki she drank two cups of juice through the night and I fed her a Popsicles :-). Today we plan to just hang out all day at home!!
