Weekend

Friday night was a little crazier than expected as both kids woke up from naps MISERABLE and I had to leave to babysit at Vicki's.  Rowan would not go to sleep for Rick..just screamed and cried and he was calling me non stop.  I could hear her in the background and just broke my heart.  Liam also woke up from her screaming so poor Rick had a madhouse here!  ;)  My gut told me something was just not right, so we made appts. at CareNow first thing in the morning and sure enough, Liam had a sinus infection and an ear infection and Rowan had a double ear infection.  Looks like new tubes :/  are in Liam's future because his are not functioning properly and with this being Rowan's second double ear infection in her short life, I am sure they are in her future too.  One dose of antibiotics and a nap and Liam was like a new boy.  Rowan is having a tough time taking the antibiotic.  She likes it, but just accidentally spits it out with her tongue every time...so she now has an awful cough and is still really miserable.  Poor babies!  I cannot complain too much because this was a first since the whole RSV incident.  Just hate seeing them sick! 
Here is our medicine cabinet counter  ;)


So we unfortunately cancelled our plans to meet some good friends at the Frisco Food truck festival.  :(  Afternoon consisted of naps, mommy went to the gym (and ran FIVE miles AND felt GREAT!  Yay me!) and daddy did the lawn.  By 5 pm, we were a little stir crazy and decided to head to the festival to just walk around and check it out.  We stood in the beer garden, had a beer, and let Liam run around.  It was actually really relaxing and the kids seemed to enjoy being out.  After, we came home, cooked dinner, did baths, and bed. 
Sunday morning was church at 9:30 and a quick nap for Rowan.  Rick looked online for something to do and found this really fun festival in Denton--jazz.  Totally our kind of thing!  Love being outside in this weather, listening to music, and walking around with an adult beverage while Liam played on the jungle gyms, saw clowns, and danced to music.  We had SOOOO much fun and were all in bed by 9!  A successful weekend even with two little sick ones.  Just love family days!

And the weekend continued last night with some old friends from high school!  John was in town for business and my great friend Pat and his family are actually moving here (to the Trails--right off Eldorado!!).  We are so excited to get to spend time with them!  His kiddos are a little older, but I see some great times in our future and I know Liam will LOVE hanging out with Collin and Maggie--he loves the older kids. 
Rick picked John up after work.  He was staying at the Sheraton Dallas, so it was not too, too far from Rick's work.  They hit zero traffic and were home by 545!  It was SOOOOOO awesome to catch up.  John and I were literally BEST of friends all through high school and stayed in touch through college.  He came to our wedding and is just such a good guy!  Pat made it around 7:30 and we had burgers and probably one too many beers, which I am paying for today, but so worth every minute!  Rowan LOVED both John and Pat.  She is such a flirt!
So, tonight is book club...so looking forward to it, but oh so tired!  Need to catch up on some sleep tomorrow before my big 5K on Saturday!  Cannot wait!  :-)  Happy Tuesday!
