Austin was so sick today...
he got dehydrated...
he threw up all day long...
he was running a fever...
it was horrible!
we had a long day, but he's in bed now... and he's sleeping...
hopefully we will have a better day tomorrow.
and I am about to head to bed...
but before I went I just wanted to post a few little things about this weekend...
Me and Momma went shopping Saturday... and we got Austin a ton of clothes... now he just needs a few more pieces... mostly underwear and "pajammies" .... and maybe even another pair of shoes... .but that's it.
The Austin had a sleepover... Mike's brother called us around like 7-ish to see if Lexi could spend the night... and of course we said yes... She did great... Her and Austin have so much fun together... and I really loved listening to them giggle when we tried to put the to bed.... and having some kind of squeling contest... Those babies mean the world to me.
Today we rode out to the house... and we've got a slab! I am so glad!
I took lots of pictures, and since my memory card is in my camera, I'm not posting them tonight... Iwill post tomorrow... prob while Sarah Conner is on....
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend...
For us, it was just another weekend in paradise.
Oh how I have missed my blogging...
Things are getting back to normal... and that of course means craziness has taken over.
Friday as Hurricane Ike started sending bands to the Baton Rouge area, Ms. Rhonda (the babysitter) lost power and had to shut down last minute... So I didn’t go in to work... I had no sitter... Instead we (Austin and myself) spent the day at my mom’s house... Until we got a phone call from Mike saying that Jimmy had just called and we had power!!!!
THANK GOD!!!
I was so excited.... As we finished lunch, I loaded Austin up in the truck and headed home to turn on the AC ....
Right as I drove up a friend from work called to tell me that they had been dis-missed from work a few minutes ago. We talked for a little while and then I called Mike to make sure he was coming home.
We shut all the windows and then left to go get our stuff from Mike’s grandparent’s house... (who by the way were wonderful and made us feel so at home. I love you both!!) Since Austin was sleeping by this time we left him at the Nanny & Paw’s so we could clean up at home with out his “help”.... then we made a stop by Mike’s parents to get Oreo... (Valentine was at Nanny & Paw’s with us)... So we got home ... and got some cleaning accomplished (the refridgerator and freezer.... and a few other things) After that we headed to Walmart to pickup a few things for the weekend and then back to get Austin...
Saturday was the LSU football game... YAY! Go Tigers!!!
We all loaded up in the truck and went shopping... For nothing really just to go I guess... Austin did need a new LSU shirt... and we picked up his costume for Halloween... Which I love!!! But it’s a surprise... I promise there will be a ton of pictures though!
Then we watched the game with some friends...
Sunday we actually went back to Walmart to go grocery shopping and get EVERYTHING since our fridge was completely empty....
Oh, and I forgot!
We got the call...
They got the permit!!!!! YAY!
We had our team meeting yesterday afternoon with Kyle...
He was nice, and we got to get a few minute last things taken care of.
We found out that they should be pouring the slab Wednesday and then the frame will start going up Friday.
Kyle said that as long as we don’t have any more hurricanes it should all be finished before Christmas... (which is what we are secretly hoping for)
I can not even tell you how glad I am to hear that!
So that’s it... things are back to normal here in Paradise.
Ok, so here are a few pictures of the sky before and during the storm... I know it isn't much... but I will try to load some more tonight...
These first ones were taken around 5:30 pm on Sunday (8-31-08)... we were watching the clouds moving in... we were gettting some light rain showers on and off... the temperature was dropping and it was a little breezy.... which is not at all common around here...
These last few pictures were taken Monday (9-1-08) morning at about 7 am... It was really amazing to sit and watch how fast the clouds were moving by... I just can't describe it... the wind was really picking up... They said it was about tropical storm strength at this time... and it was raining...
The weekend is over… unfortunately… It just doesn’t seem like the weekends are long enough. It seems like I never have enough time to get anything accomplished… well, maybe not “anything” but definitely not everything that I want to accomplish. But then, maybe I just set my goals too high? I think I just expect too much from myself.
We did have a pretty good weekend.
Saturday was busy as always… lol
Momma was with us this weekend so our Saturday was spent on our “normal” walmart trip. But we did find a few good deals (Especially the Elmo sprinkler that Momma got for Austin!) Mike and Austin went to a pool party for one of Austin’s friend’s birthday. While they were at the party, Momma and I went to the mall… That was nice, because I NEVER go to the mall anymore… I really enjoyed it!
Sunday was kind of a lazy day … Mike left early Sunday morning to go for his bike ride. So Momma, Me, and Austin hung out at the house. And I cooked…. :) I actually made two big meals since I didn’t cook Saturday. I made a Roast and Chicken Rotel Casserole. We had the Casserole Sunday night for supper, and we will have the roast tonight. I can’t wait! It smelled so good.
After Austin’s nap, he got to play with his Elmo Sprinkler (which is really more like a slip-n-slide than a “sprinkler”). He had so much fun. And I managed to snap a few really nice pictures.
Here are the pictures of him playing:
This is what happened when I thought I would be sneaky and go outside and pick up the sprinkler without Austin seeing… He thought somebody had taken it…. I felt so bad… He was heart broken:
Hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as we did… It was just another weekend in paradise…
Well, Saturday was my nieces birthday party... and since no one else in the family has a camera I was the “photographer”... lmao
I literally took about 250 pics... maybe a little more than that...
I’m a little bummed because I didn’t get in any really good ones of Austin... but that’s ok... I’ll do some new ones of him this weekend... if he lets me... lol
These aren’t all great, but definitely some of my favorites...
