Is It Naptime Yet?

We ventured out today, our little threesome. Where did we take our first outing? To the Dr. for little Nick :( He started coughing last night and we wanted to get him checked out. He had some blood work done and he has a cold virus, wonder who gave that to him? It started off great, the road, the only road we know will take us to the Dr. was closed. So we wandered around with our GPS for a while trying to find an alternate route... That conquered we had to figure out how to get Nick, his carseat, Claire and the diaper bag all into mommy's arms so she could carry them to the elevator. (which thankfully was working) Claire, who is sick AND cutting a new tooth, decided her legs didn't work at all today so I had to either carry her (payback?), or walk slowly with her shuffling along crying like I stole her pupppy and put it in a box, then put that box in another box and.. you get the picture. We escaped, 80 min. later with bad news about Nick having the cold virus and Claire having gained 5 extra pounds from the nursing staff trying to appease her with gummy bears. We made up our own way home (road still closed), which did include dropping off 4 bags of clothes for donation (that made me feel accomplished) :) Now home again for lunch and amazingly enough it isn't even nap time yet, as Claire so lovingly pointed out, 'she's awake'. please pray for Nick if you think of us, if his temp gets higher we may be headed back to the hospital :(

And wait... we move starting Monday. look at my bathroom:

it now has grout and a toilet and a sink so they tell me, but these are pics from the last time I saw it. not that long ago.

I seem to remember a story about a little girl who forgot how to walk while her mother dragged her from the church service. I think it involved a scream as well...something like, "NO MOMMA, DON'T BEAT ME! I'LL BE GOOD! DON'T BEAT ME!"

Just a vague memory! Smile it could be worse!
