Crabby Patty

 

This was another busy weekend. We started out thinking we were going to go camping but then realized we needed a weekend to stay home and get some things done. Ya Right!!! Our house is still a mess, yard hasn’t been mowed in at least a month, laundry piled high, and dishes in the sink. Someday I will get my house back in order, but for now I have my hands full with my little beast!

Friday Dustin and I relaxed and watched TV together (something we don’t get to do very often). We could have gotten the house picked up, but it was our “date” night. We were still in bed by 10:30 because Dustin was going out bow hunting for the first time ever the next morning! He took his class this spring and finally got to go out and test his hand with a bow. He didn’t see/hear much. One elk bugled and he saw four grouse. I was really hoping that he would come home with a great big 6x6 and we could celebrate.

While daddy was out trying to stock the freezer Addilynn and I hung out. Our daily tasks were listening to Undo It about 20 times, Screaming/crying, going to Papa’s birthday dinner, and crashing out at 8:30 :) Addilynn had a rough day and so did mommy. For some reason she was fussy all day. She even screamed bloody murder from St. Maries to Emida!!! While kicking the back of my seat repeatedly. I thought fits were supposed to come at a later stage??? I have been thinking it was teeth but who knows. If she isn’t her normal happy self by Wednesday I might take her in just to get her ears checked. I never know if her teething is affecting her nose and ears or if she really is sick. She seems to be a what some moms call “BAD” teether. Every time she gets a tooth (or in her case 4 since that has been the pattern after her first two) she gets a fever, runny nose, ear problems, and doesn’t sleep. Hopefully our next baby will be a “GOOD” teether :) Today, we went to the dreaded Coeur d’ Alene and did some shopping. We got to eat at Texas Roadhouse and it was just as delicious as the first time I ate there! Addilynn was great and loved her lunch. She even got to bust a move with the employees when they did their line dancing! We did find out one thing that is for sure now… She isn’t allergic to peanuts! If she would have been I’m pretty sure that would be the place for anaphylactic shock!  When we got into town Addilynn finished her nap and then it was off to Shena and Pete’s for football. She got to play with the Barden girls and her best buddy Tucker. She can even say Tucker’s name. They are pals!

Now Addilynn is finally asleep and mommy is right behind her! This week should be a little less chaotic but who knows what this crazy life will bring!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend. Enjoy.

Addilynn and I spent some time out in the yard Saturday morning before her change in behavior! She looked pretty stylish in her bandana I thought!

Swinging with Hallie at Shena and Pete’s house Friday night.

Shena made these shirts for the kids and we tried to get a good picture of them but three little ones are never easy to catch and keep still for a photo.

 

This has been a busy busy weekend! we started off Friday night with a get together at Aunt Shena’s. Addilynn got to play with a couple of her little buddies, Hallie and Blayze. She loved the swing set and Hallie loved pushing her! The kids were wore out completely when they finally had to go down for bed! 

Saturday we went out to Junction with Auntie Bri, Camber, and Grammy. Addilynn is addicted to dip and basically that is all she eats when we go out! It doesn’t matter what kind she loves them all. She has had bbq sauce, ranch, fry sauce, sour cream, and ketchup. Yummy! After lunch we went to the carnival and Grammy got Addilynn a new toy ball. She loved it! She also got to experience her first snow cone. She looked so cute with her little blue mustache. I am so sad I didn’t bring my camera to get a picture of it! Saturday night she stayed with Auntie Jaylee so mommy and daddy could go out on the town and celebrate Paul Bunyan Days. We had lots of fun catching up with old friends especially uncle Jake who was home from Japan to visit! We really missed Nanny M but I guess one of the two were better than nothing :(

Sunday we relaxed all day and finally made it to the carnival again in the afternoon. The weather wasn’t as nice but we still had fun eating chili cheese fries and getting Beau and Addilynn’s pictures taken at the photo booth. We got to see Kellsi and Gary which was nice to catch up and see her growing tummy! She is so tiny and cute still! Then Sunday night we watched fireworks at Trask and Kelly’s and Addilynn was asleep through the whole show. She didn’t get to visit with her family and friends but we got to see them!  Maybe next year she will get to enjoy the great firework show from the hill! After the show, the girls hit the town while the boys babysat. It wasn’t all it was cracked up to be but we still had a good time visiting with all the people we don’t get to see very much. Today we watched Auntie P and Auntie Jaylee in the parade. Addilynn wasn’t a big fan of the parade. She liked it at first until the first horn honked then it was all down hill from there. The only part she got down for after that was when the Jr. Miss girls threw pennies. Hmm Money or candy??? She picked money for sure! What a smart little cookie. She didn’t let go of those pennies until lunch! Then it was time to say goodbye to our friends.

All in all we had a busy yet fun weekend. Addilynn was ready for bed by 5 tonight and took a 3 hr nap. We held her off until 7:30 then the fight began to get her to bed. She hasn’t been sleeping very well lately and we think it might be teeth. Hopefully she can catch up tonight on her beauty rest.

This is a picture of Addilynn getting in trouble by her daddy for having her foot on the table! Notice how she looks horrified. This is now what she does when she is getting in trouble… She tilts her head to the side and smiles at us and I’m pretty sure she is saying “I’m way to cute to get yelled at!”

This was a sucker that she got after lunch today. She loved it so much!
