I am the not so happy mother of a: fever running, non-stop croup coughing, throwing up, ear draining, take me to the urgent care at 10 pm & stay until after 11 before we go home, rash on the bum 1 year old!
Good times...

Toothless Ninnie
Well, my daugher is getting to be more of a toothless wonder every day! She pulled (much to my amazement) another one of her own teeth last night. Of course there was the usual drama surrounding and leading up to the actual tooth pulling, but she stayed the course & got it out herself! She's now missing 2 teeth on top & 1 on the bottom!
She wrote a very cute letter to the Tooth Fairy to leave with her tooth as well. The Tooth Fairy was kind enough to take time out of her busy schedule & reply to her cute letter. Sam asked her what her real name was and the Tooth Fairy told her that she's been called The Tooth Fairy for so long she can't remember her own name! Sam thinks that's pretty dang funny!
Unfortunately, she's home with a cough and a fever today. I seriously hope it doesn't turn into something major...

Another Week!
Well, it has not been a slow week at our house!
I had parent teacher conferences this week - blah. That was a fun filled 2 days with an extra 8 hrs of daycare to pay for! At least Friday was a 1/2 day for my kids at school!
A bunch of my students have been out with Swine Flu & one of our teachers has been as well. Yes, I am crossing my fingers & using a lot of germ-x & lysol!
We got word that Trav's uncle is getting married in just a few short weeks. We are excited for him and are looking forward to visiting in Manti over the Nov. 7th weekend.
Caleb has learned how to pull a chair out, climb on it & then get onto my table. Yeah, not so sure I'm thrilled about this trick!
Today Nash has met his 2 injury a day quota. I just love it when I get to call my mother for 1st aid assistance 2 times in a day!! At least no er visit was required for either injury! I swear, that kid is going to give me GRAY hairs!!! Unfortunately, his little brother is following suit!
I got to celebrate my 29th bday by doing parent teacher conferences. Not exactly my idea of fun. On Friday we had dinner/presents with Trav's family. Last night we had dinner/presents with my parents. Caleb sure does like the chocolate cake & cream cheese frosting Grandma Terri made me!
Trav comes home on Tuesday - YAY! Of course, we all know that week is going to FLY by way too quickly.

Ordinary Things
This picture pretty well sums up the day! Jack & Jade came to play for awhile. My basement is a disaster (nothing new) but the kids had a great time & grandma got a break!
We drove to Orem on Saturday to go to Prestin's 7th birthday party at Pirate Island. Long story short - 2 hr drive turned to 3 hr drive, Sam puked in the parking lot b/c she was car sick, my car started smoking, & it was after 9 pm when we got home. Kids had fun though. Pirate Island is basically a smaller Chuck E Cheese with a Pirate theme. Nash had 253 tickets & Sam won about 105.
My cute matching boys riding one of the rides at Pirate Island.
Caleb has found a new place to play....Apparently, he & his brother fit in here at the same time (at least when Dad's babysitting they do!)Tuesday, October 6, 2009
'Tis the season....Again!
I finished out the month of September by spending UEA weekend sitting in the Megaplex Theatre in Ogden for 2 days attending the Gang & Youth Violence Conference. That was SO interesting! I learned a lot and am really glad I had the opportunity to go.
We jump started the month of October on Friday night by dipping cinnamon bears, strawberries & raspberries in chocolate. Then, we made caramel apples with apples from my parent's apple trees...yummy.
Saturday I proceeded to smash my pinkie finger in the lid to my washing machine. On Saturday Nash also decided he was going to get croup - let the good times begin! Saturday night we went & saw the new Transformers movie with Nash & Sam & Trav's parents kept Caleb.
Sunday night all 3 of the monsters decided they weren't feeling too good. My parents came up & ate dinner with us & then we watched Race to Witch Mountain. After my parents left I put poor Caleb to bed. You could just tell he felt crappy, not to mention the temperature he had! After that I called in for a sub on Monday (the sub story alone is enough to make one pull their hair out - long story short...REALLY bad sub!).
Monday I called the pediatrician's office at 8 because I had it in my head that there were people in the office at that hour. Nope. Called back at 9 & had to wait 15 minutes for someone to take me off hold. By then, the only appointment left was at 4:20...sure glad I took the whole day off! I hauled all 3 kids to the dr. that afternoon to have Nash's croup confirmed, Caleb diagnosed with a sinus infection (no wonder his boogers haven't gone away for a month - poor kid, I kept thinking it was teeth!), and Sam's strep test came back negative (a smidgen of sunshine). Funny enough, after the nurse walked out of the room Sam asks "Mom, are they going to stick that big Q-tip down my throat? Because I feel a lot better now." Of course she did! It's amazing how quickly kids recover, isn't it?
Well, lets hope we've had our share for a day or two. Anyone else scoffing at this idea? I wouldn't be if Sam wasn't "sleeping" on the couch with a croup cough right now!
