The last week has been an experience here in Webster Land. Here is a peek into our eventful week....Enjoy ;)
Saturday: Elliott came down with a fever which lasted until Monday. Fevers always make me nervous and this one was fairly high. I came to the conclusion it was from teething since a new tooth has made an appearance and no one else got sick. I think it may have stemmed from the fact that the tooth came out of nowhere. No swollen gums or cranky baby before the fever or appearance of said new tooth which is normally how it goes down. The crankiness came after and Yikes! After the fever broke Monday, Elliott turned into a bit of a monster.....a screaming monster. And on top of that I had a massive headache for about 3 days straight. Thankfully she has recovered nicely and is back to being the happy, pretty princess we all know and love!
Monday: Grant was stung (or bit?) by a yellow jacket and Baron was run over in the process. The boys were outside emptying out the kiddie pool when a yellow jacket decided to attack and Grant was hit on the arm and face. When he turned to grab Baron and run into the house he didn't realize Baron was literally right behind him and Baron went down hard. So I am in the house with the twins and I hear Grant yell and Baron start screaming pretty much at the same time. I had no idea what happened just that my husband was running for the house carrying my little son who was screaming bloody murder. Scared me a little but thankfully Baron just ended up with a bruise on his tush and Grant the unpleasant reminder of what a bee sting/bite feels like.
Wednesday: On the 4th of July we decided to go to the beach. We got a late start because Baron had a rough time going to bed the night before (he is not a fan of the loud fireworks!), Elliott woke up at 2:30 am needing tylenol and then again at 6:15. She obviously wasn't feelling 100% but after a nap seemed to be in good spirits. We decided to go and after loading up everything we needed (which was half the house), finally hit the road at 11:30. We went to Newport and straight to the beach to throw the ball for Gunner. After about 30 minutes of playing ball and hanging out, the fall happened. I was walking toward the water to take a picture of Baron and Grant when something (Gunner) hit my right side and completely took out my legs. I went down...hard...on my arse. I also felt my left ankle pop. As I sat in the sand all I could think were two thoughts: I hope my ankle isn't broken and how am I going to get back up that hill to the car?? Thankfully I was able to get up and walk around but it really cut our trip short. We decided not to walk downtown and instead headed home after our hour long stay on the beach. At least it was a beautiful day at the coast!
I overheard my sister Tia talking to Elliot last night and her comment completely summed up our week:
"Elliott, this house is crazy!"
