Halloween

Aunt Mel and Austin getting ready to go through the candy...I think Aunt Mel was more excited than Austin

Savannah still sleeping

sleeping on her 1st trick or treat

On his way to his 1st house...he left the mask on all night

Trick or treat is always the Thursday before Halloween in Altoona. However both kids were pretty sick so they were unable to go. Luckily at Aunt Mel and Uncle Bubba's house trick or treat was on the real Halloween so we took the kids there this past Saturday. Austin, Daddy and Pap went out with out Savannah and I because she didn't take to her costume to kindly. Finally as Austin was on the home stretch we were able to join them. And everyone assumed he was a doctor not a nurse. Back at the house he helped Aunt Mel hand out Candy. Thank you Aunt Mel and Uncle Bubba!!

update

just letting everyone know that Savannah is doing great. She finished her medication this morning. Austin is finally recovering as well. It seems as though the house is getting back to order. I think it is amazing that I am the only one in the house that did not get sick. I wonder if it is all the vitamins I have been taking??

h1n1 has hit

h1n1 has hit our house and who got it first...Savannah!! At least we think. We are not sure if Austin has it or not they didn't swab his nose last night. So Savannah had her 1st ER visit tonight. The docotors wouldn't see her because of her age and sent us to the ER right away, they swabed her nose. They let her come home as long as she continues to eat and wet diapers. So keep your fingers crossed. The medication is Tamaflu and as it turns out is a hot commodity, you have to call the pharmacy before you go to get the prescription filled, we went through 4-5 before we found one.

hard to choose

Austin woke up pretty sick last night with 104 temp, we gave him medication let him have Popsicle and sent back to bed he did wake several time during the night after that but we were able to get him back to sleep. When he woke this am he was still complaining of a belly ache, when I called the doctor they said as usual he had what was going around and didn't want to see him. I just love how they can tell you what is wrong with your child when they have not even seen them yet!! However when she asked if he had an ear ache I said no and I looked in his ear with my otoscope that it didn't appear to be infected she said they could not go by that. Thats funny they can't go by what I see but can tell you your child has a virus over the phone!! By the time Rob came home he was pretty bad again so we took him to the ER. It was hard for me to chose if I was suppose to go and take Savannah around all that mess or stay at home and let Rob take him. I couldn't let Austin go and not be there so I did probably the wrong choice and took her and we all went, then when we got there we found out he did need antibiotics for pharyngitis. If the doctors would have seen him it would have made everything so much easier. The poor little guy is sleeping soundly at the moment we will see what tonight brings. How do you chose what child you stay with when one is ill and one needs you to eat???

Don't be angry

This is Austin's new saying when he knows he has done something he should not have. Rob was home from work sick Monday and by the end of the day he was feeling pretty good, Savannah was napping so I thought I would nap which left Daddy and Austin. Austin went downstairs to play while Rob stayed upstairs. When Savannah and I got up the 4 of us went for a walk and as Rob was walking down stairs Austin started with this:
Austin: I was helping
daddy: with what
Austin: cleaning
daddy: cleaning what
Austin: everything
at this point Rob was confused and he started to smell something in the air
daddy: show daddy buddy
Austin: don't get angry
Austin: don't yell
this is when we found out that he had taken the carpet cleaner for the dog accidents and sprayed pretty much everything downstairs including our bed, pillows, floors, and his bean bag chair. It is hard to get mad at him, we explained that he shouldn't touch anything that sprays and such. Of course this is mommy's fault as I left it downstairs after cleaning up JoePa's mess at 3am.

I stopped to get donuts for everyone on my way home from work Sat and we still had some this morning. which Austin asked to have one for breakfast and I gave him one. So when I was getting out of the shower Austin met me at the door with this:
Austin: Don't be angry
mommy: I am not
Austin: you will be sad
mommy: why
Austin: I ate all the donuts
so I went to look into the donuts box and sure enough all donuts were gone. While I was in the shower Austin took it upon him self to eat the rest of the donuts (or should I say take a bite out of each one).

He knows he shouldn't be doing these things but at least he is not hiding it yet? How can you get mad when he is telling you what he did??

Savannah's on her back

So we finally got Savannah to sleep on her back...that is when she decides she wants to sleep!! Mommy is sleeping much better knowing that she is on her back.

Doctor or Nurse

Austin has changed his mind about being scooby do, we had a couple costumes in the box and he chose this one. Now the question is Doctor or Nurse. Well we know what my vote is. Daddy has different motives though we know the first thing he thinks of is money so his vote is for Doctor.
