Blah!
Sadly, this has been our life for the past almost week.
That picture was from Friday morning. A nasty cold hit this family (everyone but me) on Thursday and Paige had a fever so the kids and I stayed home until Wally got home from school around 1 and then I headed in to work for a few hours.
Paige is my fever girl. It seems that about every 3 to 4 months, she gets hit pretty hard. I know fevers are not necessarily a bad thing, but the temps that hers get to make me nervous sometimes. Luke had a fever on Monday, his first since he was 9 months old.
After another round of Motrin, Paige was up and moving on Friday night.
This one was not :( He fell asleep on the couch at 7:30. I couldn't even tell you the last time he actually fell asleep on the couch.
Paige took full advantage of feeling a little bit better and Luke being sound asleep. These videos could easily be titled "The Annoying Little Sister". So funny! Hopefully you can see them; they are a little dark.
Saturday I made the decision that we would still head to LP as we had planned for over a month. The kids definitely weren't 100%, but they were moving and playing. They would be able to rest at Grammy & Papa's just as they would at home. Aunt Carly & Aunt Stacey were in town and they haven't seen the kids in quite awhile. By Sunday afternoon I wasn't sure if I made the right decision as the kids seemed to be heading downhill again :(
On Sunday night our house smelled like someone had poured a bottle of Vick's all around. Both kids had a bit of a rough time getting to sleep Sunday night so we put some Vick's VapoRub on Luke's feet and the vaposteam in the humidifier for Paige, both eventually got a decent night's sleep. I had already made the decision that we would stay home Monday and head to the doctor. Paige was fever free on Monday, but not Luke. And I was worried about Paige's ears maybe being infected.
Poor baby :(
As suspected, both kids just have a virus and there isn't really anything we can do for them. As of today (Wednesday), they are both feeling a little better, but the noses are still running and the cough is still there and now I am sick. And of course Wally has a coach's meeting and parent-teacher conferences at night this week so I am on my own with the kids. And Wally and I have a weekend away planned to celebrate our anniversary. I need to get better fast!
This is a nasty one for all of us! Hopefully I can post some happier pictures soon!

A Good Day
Nothing too exciting about this day, but sometimes those are the best days!
The day started off with Paige's 15-month checkup. All is well with our baby girl and she certainly has no issues in the growing department. She weighed in at 26.2 lbs. (95th percentile) and 32.5 inches (98th percentile). She definitely did not enjoy the doctor's visit at all. In fact, she cried nearly the whole time. Quite a different experience from her 12-month appointment when she smiled through her blood draw. She got two shots and I think they really affected her this time. She did not nap well and just wanted to cuddle and then she was limping later on that night :( I am happy to say she was much better the next morning!
We did some grocery shopping. This was the first time I have grabbed this kind of cart!
I would love to say that it made grocery shopping with 2 kids easier, but really the easy part only lasted about 10 minutes. Then Luke got mad that his steering wheel's horn wasn't working (you can actually see this in his face in the pictures) and Paige's was and then they just got on each other's nerves I think. Too close for comfort?!?!
We went for a walk where it took a lot of encouragement to get Paige to keep this hat on! But she finally did!
And Luke rode his tricycle which is way too small for him but he doesn't care. We are already talking bikes for his birthday or Christmas. If you ask him, he will tell you exactly what kind of bike he wants!

County Line Apple Orchard 2012
On a beautiful Sunday, we headed to the same apple orchard we went to last year and hope to continue this tradition year after year.
Unfortunately, there was no apple picking from trees. With the warm weather in March and the freeze in April, the apples didn't make it. They did bring in some apples and hung gutters in the trees so you could still get a little bit of the experience. It was kind of sad because Luke enjoyed picking apples so much last year (see here!), but I was worried about his tooth (it is still a little loose, but tightening up and hanging in there) so it was probably for the best.
We did enjoy all of the other activities the orchard had to offer though!
Neither one was very interested in a picture...
What a difference a year makes - wow!
We enjoyed some apple cinnamon and pumpkin donuts!
Luke was afraid of Peter Pumpkin Eater last year but not this year!
Aren't these goats so cute?!?!
Luke did some running through the hay maze!
And Paige watched him! (Maybe next year baby girl!)
Then we headed over to the play farm where the kids had fun and got to work!
Time for the Moo-Choo ride!
And we're off!
An attempt at a group shot!
Next we headed out to the pumpkin patch!
And now to the apple trees!
It was a fun family day!

Love These Two So Much!!!
"Paigey, hold my hand."
"First you have to catch me!"
"Got her!"
"Maybe I can pull the wagon home."
"You're too little Paige, I will pull you home."
"Oh good! I have an important phone call to make!"
"See ya Mom!"
