Here and There

What we've been up to...

 

Last Friday night we had a girls night out and tried out Paint the Towne. Definitely would do it again, and hope to do a couples one with these gals and their men soon! It was fun and funny to be able to laugh at ourselves in our lack of experience painting. Lots of laughs and really good to catch up with these gals!

 

 

Caden and Gary hung out with Grumpo while I was out with the girls Friday-he had fun with the guys and got to have pizza which he loves! Last Saturday my sis-in-law treated me to a pedicure while the boys and kids played at their house. It's not often that we are able to step away just the two of us, so it's always nice to get that time in and catch up! We've been treating each other to pedicures as gifts for birthdays, etc. for the last year or so and I think we both like the new 'tradition' in doing that!

 

This week Caden had to be picked up from daycare early on Monday after waking up with a fever after naps. He kept a fever around 101 throughout the remainder of the evening and around four Tuesday morning he was 102, so I called into work and Gary set up a sub for the afternoon so that we both could be there for him and wouldn't have to miss a full day of work. After he tempted high Tuesday morning he was just miserable, and wouldn't go back to sleep in his bed, so I brought the little guy in with us and we all 'slept' more from there. He woke up once after I had rolled to my side, got confused and as I lifted my arm and started to turn saying 'it's okay...' he leaned right over me and fell asleep half on one side of me and half on the other. Between being tired/out of it and the humor of it I dozed back off with him like that for a little until re-arranging some more.

It was pretty cute though. Not our first go-to, we aren't co-sleepers, but not against it in these kind of situations either. He slept there until just after eight too, which hasn't been the case with his new bed-he's consistently gotten up earlier than normal so it was kind of nice.

 

That hair...priceless. Once he woke up he seemed to be feeling better and like the fever had broken. He loves sitting at our computer desk and typing on the computer, as it's off, and coloring in his notepad. We always ask him if he's 'working' when he sits there and he just simply replies 'Yesh. Workin'!'. The hair made me laugh, and then on top of that he insisted that he 'work' some right after getting up. 

 

We kept it pretty easy that day. His fever never got as high, but he still stayed around 99.8 until that evening, even with Advil, but still hung out and played pretty well. Skipped naps unfortunately, so that made for an earlier night, but whatever little bug he had didn't seem to last which was good! The following night he woke up multiple times crying out of discomfort, so he and I had a late start the next morning after I thought I may have to take him in not knowing what was bugging him. No fever, just kept waking up acting uncomfortable...but then seemed fine once he got up for the day so off we went!

 

 

 

Little helper making some homemade pizza...and snacking along the way! On the morning he was sick with a fever I took him out to enjoy a nice walk while the weather was still cool. Then later, partying in his bed. He has been really good at listening and obeying when it comes to the new room/big bed transition, but this time he stayed in bed, yet wouldn't nap. Halfway there, right?!

 

 

It's Talk Like a Pirate Day today, and according to a pirate dictionary google found this is the part where I say 'fair winds!'....Happy Friday!
