Our Weekend

Thursday morning we noticed Landon was developing a pretty nasty cough and snotty nose. He was running a low fever as well but overall was still acting normal. His cough had gotten worse by Friday and he was still running a fever. You could tell by looking at his eyes he just didn't feel good. He had been cooped up in the house for 2 days so we thought some fresh air might be good for him so we headed out to our favorite Mexican resturant and chowed down. Well, Adam, Adalyn and I did. Landon wasn't eating a whole lot since he wasn't quite himself so he just sat in the booth and talked to us and kept us entertained the entire time. 

Landon was so congested and the snot, oh the snot, was just pouring. He blew his nose for us everytime we asked but he obviously doesn't know how to "hock up a loogie" yet so the drainage was going straight to his stomach. Two different times he ended up coughing so hard, he threw up nothing but flim/snot. Which was a good thing. That's the only way he was able to get that stuff up and out of his system. Saturday morning I had breakfast with Hope and Holly then once I got home, Adam and Adalyn headed to the farm for the day. Landon and I played tractors, diggers, puzzles, read books, and watched Toy Story and Rapunzel. He took a long nap which meant I took a long nap, too. :) 

Sunday morning was the first morning he woke up without a fever since Thursday! That was a good sign but he immediately pointed at his ear and said, "My ear hurts." That caught my attention because he has never had an ear infection before and for him to actually tell me it was hurting made me think something might be up. Within the next 30 minutes of him being awake, he told us 2 more times that his ear was bothering him. We decided to call Dr. Eastham's office and take him in to get checked out. Since it was a Sunday morning, they were only seeing a few paitents so Adam decided he would take Landon and I went ahead and got ready for Church. Come to find out, he had a double ear infection due to all the congestion he was dealing with. The on call doctor prescribed an antibiotic for him and since then, he is 100% back to himself! He hasn't complained about his ear since the very first time he told us anything about it. He still has a cough but that will go away with time. But, when one sibiling gets sick, more than likely the germs will go on down the line. With that being said, Adalyn has a nasty cough now. No other symptoms and is 100% herself, but she just has a cough. Hopefully it won't develop into a snotty mess like Landon dealt with.

Since it was MLK day on Monday, Adam and I had the day off! The weather was beautiful and a warm 60 degrees! We took advantage of it and played outside throughout the day.

Here are some random pictures off my phone...

This girl right here asked for braides. So I delivered!
 Her hair is so so curly it was hard for me to grab all the pieces to make two braides but I made it work! It's not quite long enough to hang over her shoulders but it will be soon. She was SO proud of them and looking at her with braided pigtails reminded me of myself in high school playing softball. I wore my hair like that a lot! (and a sidenote, my walls are not that bright! Good grief that's ugly to look at.
Must have been the flash!)

I snapped this a few weekends ago. Landon watching Despicable Me with his sidekick, Singer, right beside him.

I let the kids take a bath in our huge bathtub. 

Poor guy. 

One day, you will be bigger than your sister.

I think this was before Church last Sunday night. She asked for her pony tail to be on the side. She loved it!

Adalyn before Church a few Sundays ago.

Is she not precious?!

Keeping the kids entertained while Adam was at a meeting at Church.

Adalyn asked that I roll her up in this blanket. 

Whatever Adalyn does, Landon has to do, so he joined her.

MLK Day was so warm and beautiful, we played outside quite a bit. We keep this swing on one of our big oak trees in the back part of our yard. Adalyn is way too big for it but likes to swing in it every now and then!

Until next time!
