My Poor Sick Josy

-
Poor Josy has had a rough few weeks. He is definitely teething. He chews on everything and he leaves piles of drool everywhere he goes. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these days I fall over because I slipped on a puddle of drool. Then a couple of weeks ago he got a cold and instantly stopped sleeping since he couldn’t breath. That was finally getting better when he got an ear infection. We fought that all of last week and then this week he’s got Hand Foot and Mouth. It been a rough month for the poor kid. He and I are home from school this week so at least we’re getting in a lot of snuggles. He doesn’t nap on my chest much anymore...



Oh and then last week Gabe fell at school and bit through his lip with his two front teeth. He had a nasty W shaped cut on his lip, which is finally healing. His teeth have hurting him too. The dentist said that he may have killed his one tooth, but it hasn’t turned grey yet. Maybe not? Anyway, he’s been having trouble eating because it’s hard to eat when you have a massive cut in your lip and you can’t use your front teeth. Interestingly enough “it hurts when I eat my lunch, but it doesn’t hurt when I eat candy.” Hmm...

So my boys have been having a rough time over here...

Easter Eggs and Cars

-

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
