Whew... What A Week

So last week stared out like this....

And ended like this....

... and I'm still recovering.

Gavin was spending a couple days with Mimi after the weekend so she could watch him and get stuff done at her house. I don't know that she really got much done. He got sick and she ended up taking him to the doctor and then brought him home early. She said he would just say "Mommy Mommy" so sad. Asthma really stinks. Gavin is usually fine most of the time but the minute he gets a cold it's like he's been hit with a truck and he can't breath. It's not fun watching your baby work so hard just to breathe.

Why does he sleep with his eyes half open when he's sick? It's a little creepy lol.

He insisted I hold him or hold his hand... he had to make sure I didn't go anywhere.

When he has to work that hard to breathe he gets really sweaty.

He fell asleep on the floor on day two. He was starting to do better you can tell from this picture he wasn't quite as sweaty.

 ... speaking of baby I can't believe he's going to be two in less then two months. That means I've got to get going on this party planning. I have a few different ideas for birthdays. He loves so many things. Bike's and Motorcycles - both called bikles, Beedoe's - minions, balls, hockey, bayball, baket ball, coucolate... just lots of things. 

We did do a few fun things in between sick kids. Wednesday we had our pizza party. We were bummed one of our scouts moved that earned his arrow of light and missed out on his pizza party. 

Saturday after getting some things done around the house we went to Red Robin for lunch and then to Sephora to use my birthday gift card from Amy. Oh how I love makeup :)

If you sign up as a beauty insider with Sephora you get a free birthday gift.... um awesome!

We then hung out at Grandma and Grandpa Draudt's house for a while while Daddy and Uncle Matt went to Autozone to try to get the parts they thought they needed to fix Chris's car. They didn't have what they thought they needed... turns out the people at autozone thought they were looking for something they weren't..... fast forward to this week Chris replaced the things he thought were the problem and his car still isn't working. I am proud he replaced something on his car himself. Maybe this experience will help him become more car savvy :)

We also went to Scheels and got my birthday shoes from my parents. I got a certificate from Chris for my birthday to get some shoes but Scheels was having such a good sale on shoes that I basically got two pairs for the price of one. That means I can still get another pair of shoes... or maybe I'll just get some other running gear I'm in need of with the money I would have spent on those shoes from Chris. 

Neither of these shoes were on my list of shoes that I wanted... funny... but I love them!

Gavin also tried on some hockey gear at Scheels. Chris is beyond excited for him to be old enough to play hockey.

When we got home Saturday night Brooklyn said she didn't feel good and that her tummy was hurting. She had some rice since we thought that would be easy on her tummy. She said she felt like she was going to throw up but didn't before she went to bed. 

Brooklyn does this thing where when she gets up in the middle of the night she'll just stand next to your bed and with her super long hair it kind of reminds me of something from a scary movie... like the ring or something and it always gives me a heart attack. I was really worried she was going to throw up and then come stand by my bed and freak me out and I was more worried that my reaction would be not the best for a little girl that has just thrown up. So we stayed up with the tv on a little longer then I normally would have. As soon as I turned the tv off Chris asked if Brooklyn went into the bathroom and I said I didn't hear anything but sent him to go check on her. She was knocking on her door because she couldn't get it open. She had thrown up everywhere! It was disgusting. I didn't think she had that much food in her little body to throw up. 

Chris cleaned up the bedroom and I gave Brooklyn a bath. Brooklyn was still half asleep when she got in the bath and was singing. Brooklyn hasn't ever had the stomach bug at our house so this was kind of new. After her bath I made her a bed in the hall. She slept through the night but was sick all the next day. I felt so bad she was sick and thankfully she is feeling better now..... and school started today!

I do have to say thanks to Brooklyn being sick my house is now cleaner then it's been in a long time :)

Saturday morning Brooklyn braided my hair. She did a great job.... and it always feels great to have someone play with your hair :)
