Since I started back to work, I am working four days a week. I decided Wednesdays should be my day off. Last week we were sitting at home and while the sun wasn’t shining, it wasn’t raining. I was contemplating where to take the boys to let Ian run off some energy when I noticed he had a fever.
He wouldn’t eat breakfast, and then asked for some yogurt, which I happily gave him. Come nap time we had some issues and he asked me to lie with him, so I did. He was crying and I was trying to comfort him when started throwing up.
On his pillow. On his blankets. On me. All over his bed. He just kept throwing up, and crying.
I was trying to comfort him but also let him get it all out. It was HORRIBLE!
I had to give him a shower and strip his bed, and when he was all clean he fell asleep on the couch.
He didn’t have any other episodes but held on to the fever till the next morning. In the mean time, I came down with a cold. Yep, head congestion, runny nose, cough, sore throat, but nothing in my tummy. Whew!
While my son was getting better, I was getting worse. Which means I did not cook the rest of the week! So you might notice that this coming Sunday I have planned the same thing as I did last Sunday because I still have the fish in the freezer. I decided to cook all casseroles this work week because I am still not really better and they are easy to plan. No thinking involved!
This weekend we spent a lot of time building our Lego City, because let’s face it, I wasn’t getting off the couch, or the floor.
My big boy is turning three next month! Where the hell did the time go?
We discussed what type of birthday party he wanted and he decided on a Superhero theme.
The other day I came home and he was chattering on and said “Star Wars birffday party.”
To which I replied “Star Wars? I thought you wanted a Superhero birthday!” Ian said “Oh yeah. Superhero birfday party. BEST PARTY EVA!”
Whew!
I have been pinning ideas on my Pinterest board for the party and have been thinking about things, but I hadn’t really started to do anything yet. Then last week I got an evite from my cousin for her daughter’s birthday (Ian and her daughter were born only a week apart) and I realized ‘HOLY CRAP! I have to send out invitations soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
I had an idea for the invitations and wanted to take some pictures of him, he of course didn’t want to cooperate. Since he wouldn’t do as I wished, I would have to use some pictures I already had to make his invitations. This weekend I worked on them and I am pretty pleased with the results.
Of course I am not going to show you yet.
Here are some of the pictures I took, instead of the ones I wanted to for his invitation.
