A little better!

Macie and Jeff both seem better today. Macie went to the doctor and has some virus. She came home and took a long nap and woke up feeling better. She ate a little and had energy this afternoon. Carson was miserable this morning. He wake up around 2:30 am and I don't think he ever went back to sleep. He could not decide if he felt like he could go to school. I took him to the doctor with Macie. The doctor thinks it is just the strep, but it was very sad. He was crying and saying he could not walk. Until the doctor came into the room and then he was perfectly fine. He ended up going to school, but he was a little off all day. They were both in bed asleep well before 7 tonight. Hopefully they will sleep past 5 in the morning! Maybe we will have fun and I will have some cute pictures for you tomorrow!

Not again!

The pictures are not related to the post. I just thought you would enjoy them!

Well, Jeff and Macie are now throwing up. Macie has a doctors appointment in the morning to see if she has strep. I am hoping we will get over this and be back to normal. I have had to cancel on my trainer more times than I have met with him the last 3 weeks.

Carson update

Well, he has strp throat. He took a long nap yesterday afternoon. When he woke up he had a fever, so I called the doctor. I wanted to ask about giving him medicine since he had been throwing up and had not eaten. They called back and said if he isn't better this morning to call for an appointment and they would swab his throat. I had already been asking him if his throat hurt. Since I had strep last week and one of his classmates had it yesterday as well, we decided to go ahead and make an appointment for this morning. This morning, he woke up feeling fine. No fever, no throwing up, no soar throat. But, he went to the doctor since he had the appointment. And, the strep test was positive. Hopefully the antibiotic will kick it fast and he will be able to play in his 2 soccer games this weekend!

My day

What does this picture tell you? It is Thursday at 11AM and this is what Carson is doing. He should be at school, but he is home sick. At about 2:30 this morning Jeff went in to see why he was screaming to find him throwing up. He threw up again at about 3, but then he was okay until he ate this morning. He could not even keep down one bite of a dry frozen waffle. Thankfully, he has kept down a few crackers. Hopefully it will be a short live illness. I made Jeff tell him he could not go to school today. But, Carson took it well and is spending the day on the couch.

Carson's athletics

I just thought I would share Carson's soccer picture for the Spring. We did not get to go to the actual pictures so I just took one myself. I think it turned out better than his Fall one made by the professional. This Saturday was suppose to be our last game, but with the rain we have make up games Sunday and next Saturday. Carson still is not very good, but he loves running around with everyone. Maybe we will try t-ball next.

Carson has swimming lessons today. He really loves the water. As a matter of fact, he always has. It is the one place where he has never really been timid. He was swimming short distances the summer he was one. He was always cautious, but would swim out to you without any flotation device. Most of the other kids his age have caught up with him in the skill level, but he really loves lessons. The place we go for lessons has certificates with 10 stickers. He has 4 right now. To get 10 he basically has to swim every stroke-including butterfly-the entire length of the pool. But, the kids is determined. He does not want to quit until he has all of the stickers. He is doing well with free style and is working on breast stroke and back stroke. Once our pool opens for the summer I will have to get a video for you. Where he has lessons, I can not sit close enough to video anything.

Helping herself

I promise I don't make it up when I say Macie is into everything! This is what happened when she wanted the milk on the kitchen table.

You know that commercial where the parents say it will be a miracle is she lives to be .... It is an old one, but it certainly describes Macie. In the 4 hours we were home and she was awake on Sunday, she managed to hit her head very hard twice. Once she was in Carson's room and we don't even know what happened. She has a bruise over her eye to show for it. Later, she decided she was done with her shower so she opened the door and walked out. The tile floor is very slippery so she fell and busted her head again. That time it scared Carson to the point where he was sobbing too. And, I continue to wonder why I don't get anything done!

Chatanooga

Saturday afternoon, we drove up to Chattanooga for Day out with Thomas. We had a great time riding Thomas, swimming at the hotel, sleeping in the hotel (Carson loved it!), and visiting the aquarium. Here are a few pictures.

Carson and Macie in the outfits I made them for the day.

Eli, Carter, and Carson walking down to the train yard.

Jeff and the kids with Thomas and the conductor.

Macie checking out the otters at the aquarium Addison and Macie. I can not get a picture of both of them looking at the camera!

It was nice to have a weekend away. I am finally healthy, but I fell off the curb as we were leaving and messed up my food a little. Hopefully, it will be back to normal in a couple days!
