Crazyness

This week has been a little crazy. Owen is slowly starting to be himself. We took him in on Sunday because we thought he had an ear infection but it was just a cold/sore throad and teething. So its been a couple of rough nights. When he lays down he cries and gets upset. We propped his matress and that seems to help with the cough at night.

Last night we went to the T-Rats game with Eric's work. It was a nice time. We did dinner before the game.

Congrats to the Sell's on the new arrival! Very exciting : )

Owen is walking.... he is getting really good at it. He falls alot but he can go quite a ways on those wobbly legs.

He also learned to say "hi" so he repeats is a million times. Its cute, for now ; )

Its Friday!

Happy Friday All,

Its been one of those weeks and I am sure glad its Friday. I have been fighting a sore/scratchy throat for a few days now, have been extremely tired and achy and have no clue whats up with me (NO I AM NOT PREGO). I overslept today again... I made it to work on time its just crazy in the mornings when you have a little one and you oversleep.

Eric has been cutting down dead trees the last few days, its looking better in the yard. He has also been splitting and stacking wood for the winter. I cant belive August is almost over which means summer is almost over. Crazyness....

Busy Week

We have a busy week ahead. Tonight were taking Owen to Bay Beach for a work outing. Free dinner catered in and free ride tickets all night long. It should be a fun time. I am not so sure Owen will enjoy it. We took him to Menomine park on Sunday with some friends and he didnt care for the carousel very much so we will see how tonight goes.

Tomorrow is our 3 Year Anniversary! Wow, three years already, time flies... Were going out to dinner (place to be determined). Any Suggestions?!?! Eric wants steak...

I have a 1/2 day vacation on Thursday and off all day on Friday for vacation. Were having some friends over Friday night so I plan on "deep" cleaning my house. Its been way too long since it had a good clean. When you have kids your lucky if you can surface clean most of the time. Mom is keeping Owen on Friday so I can get all my stuff done. It will be so nice not having to clean with Owen clinging to my legs : )

Saturday we have a wedding and Sunday is going to be a lazy day (I hope)

Overslept!

I overslept yesterday. OOPS. Erics alarm went off at 6:00 which is the time I am supposed to leave the house. Neadless to say I threw some clothes on and threw my hair up and Eric got Owen fed and ready and we were out the door at 6:20 a.m. I got in my car and my gas light was on, UGH. Of course, that would happen. So we stopped for gas and made it to moms by 6:30. I stayed there for a few minutes to enjoy a cup of jo and was on my way to work. I made it with time to spare.... whew. I hate when my mornings start out crazy like that, it just gets me all worked up for the rest of the day.

The Weekend!

I cant believe the weekend is already over. It didnt even feel like I had an extra day off. Friday we ended up staying home. I ran and got some groceries in the morning.Saturday we had a graduation party and just hung out most of the day. Eric was also home so I ran some errands and helped mom move a desk upstairs. I also went to Aunt Kellys for a bit.Sunday was the Firemans parade and the UW marching band performed as well. They are so awesome and full of energy. It is always a treat to watch them perform. It was Owens 2nd parade and he wasnt really excited about it. He really didnt like the candy being thrown at him.

Back to work

I took off yesterday to take care of Owen. He was not himself and slept quite a bit of the day. Today he has a rash (roseola) that is common when a fever breaks. Poor little guy just gets one thing after the other. At least the rash should not be bothersome to him, so they say. I feel so bad for him. He is in good hands today, Grams has him so thats always a plus (thanks Gram).

Were planning on going to the Milwaukee Zoo on Friday as long as he is feeling ok.

Owen is under the weather!

And so is Mamma! Owen has had a fever since Friday night. We have been giving him Tylenol every four hours but he was burning up (or so I thought). Apparently 104 is considered high, WHAT! Have you felt a kid at 102.... that is HOT. I ended up calling the Dr. on Saturday night to see if we needed to do any more. Sunday we encounterd a few other minor issues so we called and they wanted to see him. So we took him in today at 11:00. Turns out he has the common hand, foot and mouth disease, which had brought in lots of kids the last week. It sounds scarier that it really is. Basically he has a sore throat. So keep up the Tylenol ever few hours, etc. He has been sleeping most of the day today and slept quite a bit Saturday. Well see what tonight and tomorrow morning brings. I may not be going to work...

Saturday we had girls night and Owen had his first sleep over with Alex. Both boys were up at 3:00 (UGH). Eric made an awesome omelet breakfast for us. Kayla brought her boys over and we all ventured out to Harbor Fest. It was a poor turnout but was nice to be outside. Three moms and 4 boys under the age of 2... Picture it!
