Twenty-one Months

(7/9) Work day for Dad & me, and Kathy had the boys.  C has Star Wars Lego Camp all week in the mornings at Willis Tucker.  Kathy said the afternoon everyone was pretty surly.  C has been complaining big-time about not being able to sleep in.  Seriously, our child is the one that will complain about going to Lego Camp!

(7/10) Ran all the boys out to Willis Tucker Park for Lego Camp.  We stayed at the park and the boys had the best time.  D *loved* the water park.  J really just wanted to throw rocks, but seemed to enjoy the rest of the playground just fine. At about 11:30a, J fell off the bike rack, where he meant to sit down, and just lost it.  They were both so tired that Sarah offered to drop C by once he was done.  I ran the boys home for lunch, and J fell asleep on the way, and had a hard time staying awake through lunch.  After that, they took a nice, long nap.  I managed to make a doctor's appointment for C for 2:30p, and with swim lessons at 3:15, I knew it would be a tight fit.  Nanan was going to take him to swim, and we'd arranged for her to come before 2:30p.   She came right as I was headed out the door with J to put him in the car.  I handed her J hoping he'd go back to sleep, but alas no.  I should have taken him with me since he's started coughing like C too. 😔 Double ear infection for C, so it's probably a good thing we missed swim.  I put the boys to bed a little early tonight and everyone zonked out. At least there was NO coughing tonight!


(7/11) Work day for me & Dad had the boys.  We had a new range delivered yesterday and the boys were fascinated by it.  Dad said they opened the doors, did pull-ups on the bar, and were driving him batty.  I asked if he'd tried bungee-ing the door and he said yes, so I asked if he'd bungee'd the children yet. 😉   J is feeling much better.  Hope he continues to improve!


(7/12) Work day for both of us and Kathy had the kids in the afternoon.  Poor J cuddled with Kathy for like 3 hrs today.  She wondered who that kid was.  He was feeling fine-ish this morning.  Poor bug.


(7/13) I made a ginormous breakfast for everyone this morning.  Eggs, sausage and hashbrowns!  It was delicious and kept us full most of the day.  Dad had to work today, and Sarah borrowed C so he could go swimming with them.  I thought about taking the boys, but with J not feeling tip-top, I decided a lazy day sounded better.  I did put them in the car and ran them out to Granddad's to borrow a hedge trimmer, and then out to Stocker Farms for apricots to make jam.  D threw the biggest fit when we left Granddad's and then zonked out on the way to Stockers.  J looked exhausted, but never fell asleep. Once we got home, I filled the little pool and let them play out back.  They had a great time and were totally ready to go to bed an hour later.  They slept until almost 4pm and then I fed them a messy dinner which resulted in a bath, and then it was bedtime.  Lovely day!


(7/14) Sarah & I ran away to Seattle this morning to run a half marathon.  When I returned before noon Nanan said they boys had been down for about an hour already.  They slept and slept and slept.  I think it was about 3pm when they finally got up.  J isn't feeling so great (no fever but just acting blah), so he may need to be run in to the doctor tomorrow.  Probably the same crud C has and DD has had.    Dad and our friends worked on our deck today - it now has railings!  Lookin' good, guys!


(7/15) After a bunch of wake-ups last night, we're off to the doctor with J.  Poor man spiked a fever last night.
