Busy Wednesday

Hello again. Today was my "day off" from babysitting and I had all sorts of plans to get things done but somehow none of them did. I took Maddie to the YMCA this morning for daycamp and then went to the doctor for a follow up on Kinnick's star band. One more month is what the doctor asked us to do. We have not been very good at having him wear it the last 3 weeks because his ears have been bothering him so much. We will have to buckle down and get him back into it. After we got done at the doctor we went to Hy-Vee to get a few groceries. Then we went to John Deere to pick up Adam and Carter because they had to take one of our tractors over to get fixed and needed a way to get back home. Carter was so happy that he got to ride in the tractor with his daddy. He talked about it all day long! After we got home the boys both napped and I did too because I started getting an awful headache. We had a quick lunch after their naps and then it was back to Algona to get haircuts for both of them. I am really glad that I had Adam go with me because Kinnick screamed and I mean SCREAMED the whole time. Adam tried his best to hold him on his lap and I had to hold his head so that he would not move it. It was pretty traumatic. Carter was awesome when he got his hair cut. He sits so nicely. When we got home the boys napped again. And you guessed it, so did I. Although I did not really sleep. My head hurt so bad that I could not fall asleep. Finally at about 6 pm my headache was gone. Maddie was supposed to have a t-ball game tonight but it was cancelled due to the bit of rain we got late this afternoon. Carter was bummed out because he really wanted to go to the park and play. Adam made supper for us and we had ribeyes on the grill, corn casserole and acorn squash. It was all very yummy. He does such a good job cooking. After the boys got done with supper they needed a bath to get the hair off them from their haircuts and the corn casserole off from supper. Maddie and Carter cleaned the toy room after that and then it was off to bed for the two of them. Kinnick was not ready for bed so he and I watched a Little Einstein movie in the toyroom. He has been miserable the last few days because the antibiotic he is on for his ears has given him a really really bad diaper rash. We have been treating it for 3 days and it just keeps getting worse and worse. I picked up some clotrimazole cream and also an ample supply of butt paste to get us through this rash. We let him run around without his diaper on tonight for a while. I was telling Adam that I would gross out if he pooped on the floor. Not even a minute after I said it he pooped on the floor. Adam said that Kinnick pooped, but I thought he was joking. He wasn't. I have never had one of my children poop on the floor. I guess there is a first time for everything. So, as you can see it has been quite the day in our household. It is time for me to go to bed now because I am wiped out. Love to all, Stephanie
