Sick Kids and Fall Time

Just when I thought I'd have an opportunity to blog, a million other things came up.

I decided that it was definitely fall, which meant it was time to decorate for Halloween.



We haven't gone to the pumpkin patch yet and aren't totally done with our decorations, but here is what I have out, outside, at this moment.



Yesterday, the girls and I were out running errands while Ben was at school.  We took a break in between the errands and picking up Ben to play at the park briefly.


Everything is so gorgeous outside.  Seriously, this is my favorite time of year.


Sydney's "baby" got to experience the entire park with her.  She wouldn't leave her in the car.



I think the girls had a really good time, and of course, Sydney cried when it was time to leave.

We picked Ben up from school and he was not doing well.  He spent most of the afternoon and evening like this...


I called the doctor and they squeezed us in during the afternoon.  While he was so sick, he still managed to gather strength to hang from the garage door on the way out of the house.


Please excuse the mess that is the garage... I'm working on it, slowly yet surely.


The doctor ruled.  It's just a cold.  The good news is he doesn't have an ear infection, which we were worried about.  He has a tendency to get them every time he gets so much as a sniffle.

Today, I'm playing catch up with the house work that I seem to have been putting off.  I'm battling a headache and exhaustion from hardly sleeping the past couple of nights (being up with a sick kid and a baby will do that to you) and it's very hard to get motivated.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
