BUSY Weekend

Friday evening my friend Kellie came over. We went to the mall and met Paul on his lunch break. I had a $15 gift card to Barnes & Noble I wanted to spend. I couldn't find anything I really wanted to I got the boys a Backyardigans CD. Which was a good move on my part because they LOVE it. Then when we got home Kellie fell in my house and skinned up her right knee and messed up her left ankle. She wound up going to the ER and it's not broken or sprained just bruised really badly. She had brought our ice cream in the house and put it in the freezer then was hurrying to help me with the boys and she missed the step from the laundry room to the mud room.

Saturday all three boys got hair cuts. David's 1st, Matthew's 2nd, and Daddy got one too. Then we got groceries. The boys and us all took a good nap then we went out to my niece Paige's 3rd birthday party. It was fun. She is/was still a pacifier sucker. Only at bedtime. She was not one of those kids that you see in the store that are to big to have them but do. I HATE seeing kids over the age of one out with a pacifier in their mouth. Luckly my boys never took to them. My sister-in-law and her husband have been talking to Paige about how 3 year olds are to big for them and on her birthday she had to give them to David and Matthew because they are still babies and they need them and big girls don't need them. Well her actual birthday is tomorrow. That's when we were going to do it. But before we left Saturday I asked her if she wanted to give them to us now and she did! I was shocked. We are still going to meet them for dinner tomorrow anyways.

Today there was a Susan G Kohlman race for the cure 5k run/walk downtown today. We walked in that. We didn't take the boys like we had planned to because it was chilly and with David just getting over being sick we didn't want to chance it. It was kinda warm down there though. I think they would have been fine. My face is sun/wind burned though.

Busy Weekend Ahead

Tonight my best friend Kellie (aka Aunt Kellie) came over. We went to the mall and hit up the Barnes and Noble store where I used my gift card to buy the boys a Backyardigan's CD. Then Paul met us for dinner. He works 2nd shift and it was his lunch hour. When we got home Kellie carried some stuff in the house for me and was coming back out to help with the boys and she fell. She missed the step from the laundry room to the mud room. She skinned up her right knee pretty bad and did something to her left ankle. Both are bruised and the ankle was swollen a little. Hopefully she doesn't have to make and ER trip.

Tomorrow (Saturday) the boys get their hair cut. David's 1st, Matthew's 2nd, Daddy is getting his cut too. Should be interesting although Matthew did great for his first we'll see how this goes. Then we have to get groceries and go to our niece's birthday party.

Sunday we walk in the Race for the Cure at the capital. It's supposed to be kinda cold. Partly sunny, rain late high 54. I don't really want to take the boys if it's going to be that cold. We were going to take the wagon but we might take the stroller because they'll be more bundled up. Or leave them with my Mom. I guess i'll have to talk to Paul about that tomorrow.

Finally

A week ago tonight I took David to the ER because he was breathing fast, his heart rate seemed fast, he had a fever and was not acting normal at all. He had pneumonia. They admitted him to the hospital. We were there until Wednesday. Luckly we were in an isolation room so we didn't have to share a room with anyone. That was so nice. We only had to worry about ourselves. By Tuesday David was feeling about 80% normal again and when he woke up Wednesday morning he was back to normal. It was so nice to see my baby feeling better again.

They let us go home on Wednesday. That evening I put the boys swings back out and let them swing. They were MAD when I took them out. Today Paul and I went to the 'walking park' that just opened last fall. It has lots of walking trails. We let them swing again. Boy were the MAD when we took them off the swings... sigh... oh well.

Other then that things around here are ok. We are finally realizing how much money we owe in medical bills and how much money we don't have to pay them. Time to start cutting back on stuff. Paul tried to get a small loan from the bank to consoladate them but they denied him. That shows how bad our credit really is. Hopefully by this time next year we will be sitting much better in that department. Now we just have to find a way to make some extra money without either of us having to get a 2nd job. It's just not possible for either of us to have a 2nd job right now. Not with me working 1st and Paul 2nd shift.

On a good note... The weather is finally much nice out!!!

Hey there

I've decided to start a blog to keep everyone updated on our family. Some people have subscribed to the care page but now that David is in the clear we may be closing that down. I want extended family and friend to be able to keep up to date on what the boys are doing so I've decided to start here. You should bookmark this link and/or add it to your favorites so you don't loose it. I can't guarantee I will update a lot but I will try to get the important stuff here.

Please leave comments because I LOVE to hear how everyone else is doing and I will also know who's viewing.

Love ya,
Sarah, Paul, David & Matthew
