Weekend

We had a nice weekend, did not do much, but with the weather being so nice we spent some time outside yesterday. Kevin worked on the yard and the kiddos and I enjoyed the swing set. They both enjoy the swings. "Higher! Higher!" is what Ella says. She also enjoyed a picnic lunch outside since her swing set has a built in picnic table. Ella also loves to follow Kevin around and "help" him with the yard work. She especially enjoys the rides in the wheelbarrow. Also now that she can pedal her tricycle she has been enjoying this outside. Kevin and Ella planted a ton of tulips last fall all around our yard, and they are starting to come up. Tulips are my favorite flower and I can't wait to see them in bloom. Michael was home for the weekend, so he came over to play with Ella for a while on Saturday. It is always nice to see him.
On a more sad note Roc has another ear infection. I thought last night he seemed really hot so maybe he had a fever. Today he woke up and was not too happy and just seemed really tired. We did not go to church, again ( I hate missing it but with kiddo and us being sick I have missed more than I would like too), I was going to take Ella to Sunday School (did not think Roc should go sick) and then come home but when I went to wake her up she was out of it, so I let her sleep. I think it was a combination of the time change and just being tired. We finally woke her up at 10:00. She was very sad that she missed church as she looks forward to this all week. So I took her with me to my mom's while I did her catering bills for the week. When I got home Kevin pointed a bump on Roc's head behind his ears. He was feeling quite warm so we took his temp. It was 102.1 so I called my dad who said it was probably an ear infection. I took Roc to my Dad to look in his ear and yep, another infection. He just got off the antibiotics from the last infection on Friday. So we will see how he is doing tomorrow. This ear infection thing is new to me as Ella never has had one. He perked up after a good does of Motrin and now is sleeping soundly. Another good note from today I order Ella's birthday gifts from American Girl as they are currently doing free shipping with no minimum order required. She has a bitty baby so I got her a stroller for it and the accessories for the changing table. My mom/dad are getting her the bitty baby changing table. Now I can't wait for her birthday to get here so she can have these new things. If anyone out there wants the free shipping code for American Girl let me know, but you have to order by the 16th. Hope everyone had a good weekend too!
