Sad Day in McCauleyville...

 

This week has definitely had its ups and downs.  It may seem like we forgot to blog on our second week... but, alas, we did not forget... comp issues!! :(  So let's start from the beginning of the week: it was a week of fire, sick days, FHE fun, puke, broken computer, beach, smores, and parks... here we go...    To start the week off, as Jeff informed you in the previous post: "Cindy Started the Fire!" (to the tune of Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire)  It was crazy, scary, fast, and hot all at the same time, and all I could do was scream for Jeff!  I keep telling myself that I would have actually done something besides scream if he weren't there... hopefully!  (although there would still be a lot of screaming involved... nervous habit)  Of course both boys were completely oblivious, which is good, however not the best way to start your week!
   Monday calmed down... a lot!  Jeff took a sick day to watch the boys while I had an appointment.  It was my first time out without any little ones since Boston was born.... I was  FREE WOMAN!  Of course I promptly came home, but it was still nice to just get out of the car and walk into the office and not have to come up with a plan of attack for the boys! :)  We later went to the park and had fun with the play group girls.  (well, Jeff just hung out with Calvin while I had fun with the girls!)  That night, we went to FHE at the Smith's house with them and the Welty's.  We told Calvin that we were going to Lily's house (Sarah's little girl and one of Cal's BFFs) so, the whole way to their house he kept yelling "wee wee... wee wee.. where wee wee?"  So Cute!  Great food and great lesson followed by ZOOKIES again! :) yummm.  (like the red robin commercial)
Wednesday was Play Group at Joni's... which I FINALLY made it to!  I am slowly but surely getting the hang of the two-man-posse!   That night, however, was not good times at all!  Calvin came to us in the middle of the night with puke running down his face and shirt.  Poor baby was up all night with food poisoning. :(  I had a moment of weakness the next morning and almost insisted Jeff stayed home, but decided to buck up and take care of my precious boys...which was going just fine until I broke the computer!  I had it on my lap and was sitting on the couch when Calvin rushed over to me from the other side of the couch, looking like he was going to EXPLODE.  I pushed the computer aside, grabbed Calvin and darted for the bathroom, hoping to preserve myself, the computer, and the couch.  Somewhere in the hustle of things I knocked the computer off of the couch and returned to find the screen cracked.  BUMMER!  I recouped that night by getting some much needed time to myself, when Jeff watched both boys so that I could go to Heather's baby shower!  So Fun!
  Friday Boston had his 6 week apt... he is growing TOO FAST! He's already 11lbs 12oz and 23in long! My newborn is slipping away!  We then made it to the library for the second week in a row!  Go Team!
Saturday was a special day....(primary song:)  I wanted to get a really early start, but Jeff had to help with a move, so the boys and I got everything together and waited as patiently as possible for him to get home! :)  I just had to put the boys in their matching swim trunks one more time! (Boston's a little too chubby to pull them off anymore!)  We eventually made it to Avila and even got a front row spot, next to the beach and the play ground!  (reaping the benefits of Jeff's service!)  We played in the sand for a while, before heading up to the park to play.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day!  Started out overcast but then the sun came out just enough to warm us up.  I was able to get some really cute pictures!  Calvin really really loves the sand!  He loves to lay down and make "sand angels."  He even rolled his raisins around, giving them a nice breading and ate every last one! lol... he's a nut!

That night we had my sisters over to play with the puppy and busted out some sweet sauce S'MORES!  They were the microwave kind since we haven't refilled our propane for the bbq, but they were still delish!
   We had another good Sunday and made it to church ON TIME!!  2 weeks in a row.... CRAZY!  It was a great sacrament meeting with the Welty's blessing their baby and some of their family speaking.  I failed to mention in the last post that I am OCD and Obsessed with matching on Sundays.  This Sunday was Brown and Orange.. and we actually managed to get a family pic!  Thank you Self Timer & Tripod!

That's it for this week... I'll let Jeff jot down a few thoughts since it's getting late! :)

This past week was super fun with Calvin waking up in the middle of the
night throwing up mid way through the week, then he woke me up with diahrreah towards the end of the week. He always likes to keep me on my toes. Nothing like doing laundry at 3 in the morning! We did have a super fun time at the beach, Calvin gets so excited, which turns into sand everywhere, but what do you expect from the beach, right? Calvin continues his singing career, he sings along to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, not really the words but when they hold the notes he comes in with "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh." He is also starting to play hide and seek when I come to pick him up from the Kidz Club at the gym. He hides in the most obvious spots and I look around for a little while calling his name while he just laughs and sometimes says, "Here I am!" The other night after dinner with Cindy's parents he was playing with Cami and Casi in their room. I went upstairs to get him because it was time to leave, and when he saw me, his head hit the pillow, his butt went up in the air, and he tucked his hands under himself as if he were asleep. He cracks me up! I said, You're not asleep" and he picked his head up and laughed. Boston is making a lot more cooing sounds lately and as Cindy showed, he is smiling a lot more too. He is too cute! We got some comments about his snoring in Sunday School again, I am hoping that it gets louder so that I have to take him outside. My family is so much fun to be with, I enjoy them so much. I am dreading going back to school at the end of September. I registered for classes today:( Last week Cindy got me a backpack and school supplies, she is too cute!! She had tissue paper coming out of the backpack and the supplies were inside. I love how special she makes me feel. Thanks Love, I love you!
