good times had by all...

Sadly, our staycation is coming to an end but it is ending on a good note. Nana and Papa brought with them wonderful Sodus/Milwaukee like weather - sunny, highs in the upper 70's with a slight breeze so we had a chance to enjoy the new patio furniture :) well, except for last night when we had a few tornado funnel clouds and hail come down on us.

Owen had a great time and took liberty to give himself a temporary tattoo.

As usual, Nana and Papa helped us get our yard looking somewhat respectable ... but I'm sure Papa didn't plan on climbing trees!

We ended the weekend with taco dinner with the cetti's - how many toddlers can you fit on a step stool? ... and no, they weren't going for the effen vodka!

Staycation Update

Well, we are half way through our vacation week already! After the nasty pizza reguritation, Owen had a fever. However, the next morning we were definitely on the mend. He woke up and came into our room with teki in tow and pronouced that he can walk again!

On Tuesday, we sent him to Morning's house while Tom and I had a day to ourselves - it was wonderful to relax and get some things done around the house without a 2 year old demanding attention. We were able to shop in IKEA with ease...we got some new lamps for our living room.

Of course, it wasn't without additional excitement as Tom and I got a call from Barb saying she thinks that Owen might be coming down with Chicken Pox...thank goodness it wasn't - just viral rash most likely associated with the fever he had. But for a while, I was trying to figure out what I needed to do being I've never had the chicken pox and read up on how it can hurt the baby!

Today, we started the morning off right (finally!) with Owen sleeping in until after 8am - then we got dressed and headed to the 'pancake house', aka First Watch, for some yummy breakfast where Owen has decided he likes the taste of creamer. He helps us pour it into our coffee and then licks the remaining drop out of the container. I'm sure you can guess what Owen had for breakfast :) Now, we await the arrival of nana and papa.

starting out on the wrong foot...

We decided to do a 'staycation' as its being termed these days. We took off memorial week knowing that Tom wouldn't be able to take time off the month of June and July due to his project at work. So, yesterday started our staycation in cincinnati. We started the day the way we normally start a saturday - going to 'class'. Owen had his tumbling class and then we headed home for some lunch and naptime. After naptime, something happened while putting some markers away because he started limping and then would put no weight on it.

Today was no better, at first we were able to get him to take 5-6 steps as he hopped into the Acadia from the back door and walking to his seat however after that all he could tell us was that he can't walk right now. We decided to visit the Taste of cincinnati today for lunch in which Owen wolfed down an entire slice of pizza that came right back up on the way home. Yes, motherhood isn't always pretty as I sat pretty much the entire way home with a handful of vomit and trying to keep Owen calm. (who did not cry and only proclaimed that he made a mess)

Hopefully, the week to come will be better...
