Let's see...how do I begin...I guess Friday is a good enough place to start, huh?
It has been an amazingly beautiful weekend weather wise. We went to the park on Friday afternoon and the boys hung out.We were with Andrea and the girls (but of course) and then we went to their house for BBQ and bonfire. Spring in Montana!
Can anyone tell me what the heck this is? Roy's mom swears it's a dog but I'm just not too sure.We got a little bit bored after marshmallows so Roy pulled some fun out of the closet. Oooh, that sounded dirty...
Yesterday was sunny and warm again and off we went to a giant easter egg hunt at some friend's house.
There were 3000 eggs hidden on their land. There were about 200 kids. You do the math. Each kid had an overabundance of eggs. Nothing like spoiling them rotten!
It kind of went downhill from there. Little Boy has been sick off and on for the last 5 weeks. He's had tonsillitis and ear infections two times and two rounds of antibiotics. He started acting a little bit off on Wednesday. Not wanting to play with his friends, whiny, clingy, etc. He seemed to be warm occasionally but I had never actually checked his temperature. After the hunt, he got super tired and really hot. He wouldn't turn his neck and was saying his eyes hurt. When we got home, we took his temp and it was 102.4. We gave him tylenol and put him down for a nap. 45 minutes later Joe checked it again. He was sleeping so Joe used it under his arm (remember, you have to add a degree to the temp you get). He was at 104.9. 106 degrees for a 4 year old is really not a good thing. Joe called his mom (a retired nurse) and, after talking to her, off we went to the E.R. By the time we got there, the tylenol had kicked in and it was down to 103.8.
His eyes still were hurting and they were worried about meningitis because he wouldn't move his neck. Flu test, strep test and a chest x-ray were where we started.
He was perking up little by little. Joe did a great job entertaining him. He's a good dad.
He thought the x-ray machine was fun. This picture cracks me up. After much time and a now very perky boy, we found out he has strep. So this is 3 times in 5 weeks that he's on antibiotic. We have an appointment with his pediatrician on Tuesday. I am thinking we'll be getting tonsils out soon. Poor kid.
We still had a bunch of people over to watch UFC last night.
This is a horrible picture but it shows our evening. Our very very buzzed evening.
Today started early with me singing at church. We had Roy and Andrea over for dinner and did egg hunts in the back yard.
Now I'm sleepy. And you're bored with reading. So I'm done.

You are right. That is NOT a dog, but a bloated hamster.
It was cold and crappy here. Where the heck is your nice weather going anyway? It's not in Chicago as they had snow yesterday again, and it's not coming here as it's barely been over freezing.
Yuck.
Nothing sucks more than a sick toddler. Hoep he is feeling better
