On the up and up

Well I am not feeling the best. I came down with influenza symptoms out of nowhere on Monday, went to the clinic on Tuesday and tested negative, etc. etc....it's just been a long, tiring, fever filled week for me. And let me tell you, it isn't fun when you are taking care of a baby in the middle of the night. Ugh. But I am hoping that I have turned the corner and hopefully the worst of it is over for me this season?! I can hope.

My dad came today to help me with the kids as Tina is closed for illness and I got a little weepy and overwhelmed last night thinking of taking care of both kids today while I had a fever. My dad took pity on me, came over so I could sleep the morning away, made us dinner and took Teague home with him tonight. Thanks Dad! I did take Teague to get his flu shot, I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to get it myself (due to fever), but Teague was so brave about it! After the shot he looked at me, frowned and said "she pinched"! He wasn't impressed by her "naughty" behavior I guess! So it is really quiet here now as Ryan took Lola to the volleyball game and Teague is at my parent's. I am actually leaving tomorrow afternoon for my parent's for the weekend as Ryan is gone to another basketball clinic. He is getting excited for the season to start, but I am feeling a bit indifferent about that!

Last night we took the kids to JCP to get some pics of Lola for her since she is 6 weeks. I wanted a good pic of the two kids together since Teague was less than cooperative at her newborn pics. There were some great pics taken and both kids were so smiley! I can't wait to get them back and post them. It's amazing how much Lola looks like I did as a baby!

Here are a ton of pics...Happy Halloween to all!

Hi there pretty girl!

My dad said that she gets a look of being petrified when Teague comes around, this wouldn't be the look, would it?!

Carving pumpkins while Daddy went to the football game. He liked it better than last year, but it was hard since I was holding Lola in the sling.

Teague with the finished product.

Finished product, try not to be TOO concerned about the two year old next to the butcher knife, okay?!

Hard to get the true look with the flash, but it will have to work I guess!

First bath both kids together (daddy was still at the football game, he's trying to prep me for basketball season). Teague loved it, Lola....hmmm you decide by the next two pics...

Yep, here I am busy taking pics and I catch this pic just in time. Look at how hilarious Teague thinks he is....

....and how petrified he is when Lola starts screaming her head off. Good, good times.
