The weekend

Sorry that I did not get a post done yesterday. Adam sprayed most of the day and I worked on my school stuff. Kinnick was quite cranky and running a low grade temp most of the day. Maddie and Carter argued almost all day long. Carter just wants to spend every moment with his big sister and she is quite annoyed by his "love" for her. Plus, he is stronger than she is for the most part. We stayed in the house most of the day because it was just so hot outside. Maddie and Carter did swim for a little while in our pool. It is nice that the two of them can go out together and I don't have to worry about watching them every minute. Carter can touch in the pool, so he just walks aruond and that makes him happy. Adam grilled steaks for supper and in the middle of grilling our tank ran out of gas. He ended up using the broiler to finish them, and he had never used one before, so he learned something new. After supper we hung out as a family and watched some TV. It was a relaxing night for us. We had planned to go to 10 am mass this morning but Kinnick woke up still running a temp and just wanted me to hold him. Adam decided to run him over to the ER because we wanted to make sure he did not have ear infection. He doesn't have ear infection, he has a virus. His throat is red, but he does not have strep. The doctor told Adam that as long as his temp was below 102.5 we should just let it be and not give him tylenol. That way his body will fight off the virus. We have not had to give him tylenol, so that is good. The last few hours he has gotten up and played with toys and watched some movies, so I think that we are going to be feeling better by the time we wake up tomorrow....at least I hope so. He had this same thing at the beginning of June and it lasted 2 or 3 days. I spent my afternoon holding him while he napped and Adam worked on some landscaping around our pool outside while Carter and Maddie were swimming. Adam is getting supper ready now and then he has a softball game in Algona at 8 pm. So that is about it for our weekend. Pretty exciting huh? Have a great week everyone! Love to all, Steph and family
