Weekend Fun

Another fun packed weekend with the fam. I had a three day weekend since I had off Monday, which turned out to be needed. I was so looking forward to the weekend especially after a long week with a sick baby. Lexie had croup and her second ear infection. She had the most pathetic hoarse voice and croupy cough. Luckily she bounced back quickly though and was feeling better by Friday. Though Friday ended up being a very crazy day in itself. It started off very early Friday morning with a screaming Caleb in the early hours. I never found out what woke him, but he was scared so I went to sleep with him for the rest of the night. It ended up being a very uncomfortable night since every time I moved Caleb would reach out and hold tighter to ensure I wouldn't leave.

I must have finally fell asleep because I was woken very early in the morning with a chipper Caleb asking "Mommy why are you still here? You're supposed to go back to your bed." As if he would let me. Then he asked "Do you have pee pee on you?" Me: "Why? Did you pee pee?" Caleb: " Yes, I wet the bed." Sure enough we were both affected. I knew then it was going to be a long day. Saturday we had Caleb's first T-ball practice, which he was

so excited about since his neighbor's Dax and Ace were going to be on the team too. He has become very serious about his T-ball and has been doing so well.

Then we headed to Frisco for an old friend's, Lukas's, birthday party. His parents had written that Lukas still talked of Caleb often and would love to see him again, so we made the journey for a small reunion of a few of the old friends from Caleb's daycare. Some may recall the names, Lukas and Claire. Two of his best friends from last year.

The theme was Curious George so everyone had a monkey mask. The kids were all excited about the bounce house and pinata full of candy. Caleb hit the pinata so hard he broke the stick. I guess baseball practice paid off.

They had a wonderful time together, we planned to try and keep in touch in the future.

Then we stopped by Ikea since we were in the area, and ended up getting all new game room decor. We tried to make it equally appropriate for each gender. I can't wait to see the final product.

(Baby girl is obsessed with her tongue. She is constantly sticking it out and making funny faces with it.) Sunday was church and indeed a day of rest. We did head to the pool Sunday evening for a dip and cooked out burgers which was nice. But so much for my day off to enjoy with the kids today. Caleb woke in the middle of the night with 102 fever and stomach ache. After Motrin, he seemed his normal self, but I knew something wasn't right when he wouldn't eat his always favorite fruit. So I ran him up for a Strep swab at his Pediatrician's office and sure enough he had Strep throat. Yuck. Another sick kid in less than a week. Luckily I was off today and Greg can be flexible with his schedule, so he gets the joy tomorrow.
