Ending the week on a high note

Whew, this past week has definitely not been my best. I think I could almost compare this week to the potty training week, it was THAT. BAD. I know I am such a wimp, but I am just so not used to having a sick kid. I'm pretty sure she has never cried and whined as much as she did this last week. And just when we thought she was better, she was up again a good part of the night on Wednesday night. She seemed fine healthwise, though, so possibly a bad dream? But NOW I'm sure I can report that she's fine, she's back to sleeping great and seems to be herself again. She's not asking for "Tyanah" (tylenol) every 3 minutes, the whining has greatly improved, and her ability to catch up on lost sleep amazes me, with the 4 hour naps and long nights of sleep the past couple days. Now if I could just take a lesson from her and get myself to bed at a decent time to catch up . . .

Yesterday we headed back to this lake , but went to a different park there. It was a little on the chilly side, but it was a great way to relax. Isabella enjoyed playing in the sand, and throwing rocks in the lake. The park was HUGE, with 3 separate playground areas, but there were a lot of people there, and quite a few people I would prefer not to be around due to their loud and, um, colorful language. The last straw for me was when all the unsupervised little kids were spitting all over the playground equipment. We packed up and headed to yet another park on the same lake (we have so far found 4 parks on this lake!). It was a beautiful park and playground, and believe it or not, we were the ONLY ones there! Three cheers for being anti-social! :)


She could not get up to the slide by herself, since the only way up was a climbing wall type thing, which she is far from mastering. So Monte sat on top while I lifted her up to him about 1000 times, it was quite the workout.

And I thought I would throw this not so great picture in here from this morning, since, you know, we matched.

I hope hope hope that Isabella is indeed back to normal - and I envy her ability to catch up on sleep. Neither Goose or I seem to be able to do that very well.

What a fun day you had at the lake! We did some running around outside here, dripped some bubbles (that blow concept is still a ways off) and grilled tonight. I told hubs we ought to try to do it every Sunday (since that's the only evening he's home for supper). Good times.

It's been a while since I've stumbled around your joint food blog - what I want to know is how you can make all those delicious desserts and not look like me!?! :>) I'll have to do some poking around over there - I'm always looking for yummy new recipes.
