Adventures 101

We are up one more appliance! We have finally replaced all of the appliances in the kitchen so that they all match! Looky.... ( The hole was too small for anything fancy so there was only one that would fit in the hole. We just wanted to make our house more sellable.)

When the men moved the fridge out of the hole, we had an avalanche of acorns fall out of the wall. I am not shi##ing you! The dry wall stopped about an inch and a half before getting to the floor. Apparently some squirrel (maybe) has been in our attic ( maybe) dropping all the acorns that he eats down in between the wall. I can not exaggerate here because the number of acorns that thing dropped in our wall was already enormous. There were probably about 500 acorns... and there are probably more in the wall. I would know. I had to clean them up while shorty was watching me from behind the locked baby gate in the sunroom. So now the old fridge is in the garage which gives me more room to store stuff like the 4 gallons of milk that Chuck drinks a week ( ok that is an exaggeration... kinda).

The little guy did a great job at taking everything out of the coolers as I put it in. Therefore, the emptying of the fridge took a little bit longer than expected.

Also another little renovation took place... unexpectedly. I think we have a reckless driver on our hands. Chuck has running around pushing his car and tore off our laundry room door. I tried to put it back on but the wood is stripped off so there is no longer a hole that will hold the little slider thing. It might be fixable with some wood glue as long as CHuck promises not to ram any more cars into it.

Chuck took a nice 2 1/2 hour nap. Unfortunately, we have a slight attachment problem and he would only sleep on my lap. So although the 2 1/2 hours of down time was nice, I couldn't move and was unable to do anything for my observation coming up on Wednesday ( where the principal sits in your room for a very long time and watches you teach. Yuck.) Chuck did get in his crib but it was just to pet Molly who WAS taking a nap in the crib. Some things never change.

And here is the maestro trying to decide if he is going to jump or not. He chickened out...

Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds. I do know there will be a pumpkin involved.... I mean MK is my mother-in-law......

We have had some adventure the past week and weekend. Daddy went to San Francisco last week and is finally coming home at midnight tonight. We can't wait until he lands safely so we know where he is and how he is doing at all times. He has to work every day for the rest of the month... Actually, I have mixed feelings about him coming home. Hehe. We still won't get to see him but there will be laundry and cooking that has to be done. So I wonder if he can bring his hotel maid service with him.

Granna and Bob Bob came to visit so this little ( ok, big) mama wouldn't go psycho crazy on her son. I had a presentation to give on Monday so it was nice having back up just incase I needed it. Unfortunately, it was not smooth sailing and I totally needed it. The weekend started off ok. I took Friday off to get things done that I never get to do like vacuum, errands, and buying a new fridge! ( Isn't that sad that I have to take a day off to do errands and vacuum!) Chuck seemed like he didn't feel well on Friday but we weren't totally sure. He had college day at school ( the only college shirt we had was an Auburn one) and he had a picnic so I packed him his first ever school lunch in his new lunchbox.

After school, an open fire hydrant sparked Chuck's curiosity and he insisted on Bob Bob taking a walk with him to check it out.

Saturday morning we were gong to head to the zoo but someone fell asleep while he was playing at the window with the cat. We decided to just leave him and cover him up.

Then we took an afternoon trip to the zoo. Chuck loves the zoo and is getting better at just walking and not running around like crazy. He was extra interested in the animals this trip. Bob Bob and Granna even liked the zoo and the train ride that we took while there.

On Sunday, once Chuck woke up from his nap ( where he fell asleep on the couch), we went on a picnic and Chuck took his new lunchbox.

Then we headed to pick up some mini pumpkins for Chuck's class and to the playground. Yep, this is the little person we are dealing with these days.

So all was good until Sunday night... Chuck went to bed at 7:30 and then woke up at 10:30 and then.... stayed awake for the rest of the night. Yep, I made him stay in the bed with me but he just sat there all night long. NO SLEEP. Talk about a tired Mama, a tired baby, and a presentation that was given with the little bit of energy I did have. When Chuck got home yesterday from school, he decided to vomit all down the front of mom, all over himself, and the kitchen floor. We shared a nice warm bath so that we could both get clean and get teh curdled cheese out of my hair. No fever though! What?!? The only thing I can think of is that the poor child had been up for so long that his body just couldn't handle anymore and exploded. Still no fever.

He was tired this afternoon so went to bed a little bit earlier because Mr. Grumps had come to visit and he is not welcome in this house.

So here at the Weber household we have been fighting something and we don't even know what we are fighting, taking medicine for things that might no even be there, and crying all the way through it. What's next? Bring it on.
