Good and bad

November 18, 2013

Happy Monday!  Well…one kid had a really good weekend and one kid had a really bad weekend.  Let’s get the bad over with first.  Poor, poor Spencey is sick.  He’d been pretty clingy in the afternoons all week…

but I just thought he was teething.  Well, apparently it’s more than that because Saturday morning he starting running a fever and has been miserable ever since.

After a rough afternoon, he did sleep Saturday night but woke up with a fever again Sunday morning.  Sunday he was just pitiful all around…

as much as I HATE that he’s sick, I do love the snuggles with chubby little guy.

I’m guessing he’s got an ear infection but I’m not sure.  Off to Dr. Walley we go!  I need to get my pitiful guy some relief!

On the good side, Maxwell had a GREAT weekend because he got to go to Lila’s birthday at the fire station on Saturday morning!  It was just Lila’s family and us…Maxwell was her one friend she wanted to invite!  🙂

They had such fun climbing all over the trucks and touring the station.

and then got to go get Steel City Pops after.  No better way to start the day for this little man!

Here’s to all good and no more bad this week!

Playing inside

November 13, 2013

It might be dark when he gets up from his nap, but that doesn’t bother him.  He just takes off exploring inside!

Then brother gets up and his free reign over the toys is over the fun begins!

We’re goin’ to the zoo!

November 12, 2013

The boys didn’t have school yesterday and Susan needed the day off so I just took the day off of work too and hung out with my boys.  Where did we go?  The zoo of course!  And we even got to meet our good buddy, Jack, there.  Getting to see the elephants and Jack all in one day?  Just perfect!

There’s a kid’s CD I have in my car and Maxwell’s favorite song on it is “We’re goin to the zoo!”

We’re goin to the zoo, zoo, zoo.

How about you, you, you?

You can come too, too, too!

We’re goin to the zoo, zoo, zoo!

It’ll easily stick in your head all morning at the zoo!  🙂

Monday!

November 11, 2013

Happy Monday and Happy Veteran’s Day!  It was a gorgeous fall weekend around here and we enjoyed every second of it.

Most exciting thing for the boys?  New carseats! Spencey finally got to move out of his bucket seat and is now sitting in the carseat Maxwell had…

and Maxwell is now in a new carseat that will convert to a booster when the time comes.

More room for everyone and everyone is happy!

And after a few days of some rough naps, this little guy finally woke up happy on Sunday!  yay!

happy baby

Hope you all had a great weekend too!  See you tomorrow!

Friday

November 8, 2013

Oh Friday, welcome.  I think I’m getting SAD due to daylight savings time.  It’s practically dark when the boys wake up from their nap and I get off work. I’m ready to spring forward already.  Plus, I think Spencer must be cutting teeth because he’s had some VERY fussy afternoons.  Wah-wah, huh?  Are you sick of hearing me complain?  me too.  Moving on…

1. I sent Spencer back to school this week after keeping him out for over a month with HFM, ear infection and just my general desire to have him home with me. 🙂 He’s done great and I think loves the interaction with other kids. But, man, does he ever come home dirty and tired!

2. Due to the early darkness, we’ve been spending time inside playing with toys…

bristle blocks

Maxwell loves to build planes and trucks with those Bristle Blocks and Spencer loves to eat them.  (thanks Jenny, Ronnie, Katie and Anna!)

3. We’ve gotten into some of these new Leapfrog DVDs that are great. (thanks GJ!) I think Maxwell’s going to be reading in no time!

4. Some funny pics of my couch potatoes watching the DVDs…

All is well…

until Spencey goes in for a snack…

Maxwell notices…

Uh-oh…

Maxwell nicely shares and all is well again…

until Spencey needs another bite!

ha! The pictures made me laugh. My funny boys.

5. We had a “Moe-mentous” day here yesterday! Spencer got his first Moe’s taco just like big brother!  If you’re a regular reader, you know Moe’s is a weekly occurrence and basically Maxwell’s favorite restaurant ever. I think Spencey liked his just as much as Maxwell did!  yay!

Well, that was about the most boring post yet. I’m going to try to get my real camera out this weekend and do better next week!  See you then!
