rainy day

it's soggy and rainy outside, so that means.....

...chibis indoor playground time!!!  

i don't know if i can even count the number of times graham went down the slide.  well and i have to admit...it is a pretty fun slide.  it's deceiving how fast it is!  graham found it pretty funny when mommy or daddy would come out at the bottom.

feeling puney again

ugh...not how i wanted to start a morning.  graham woke up and felt pretty warm.  took his temperature and it was a nice 103.  dosed him up with tylenol and let him kind of chill out for a little bit.  when i went to check him in 30 minutes or so, the poor kid, i could feel heat radiating off of his body.  i knew something wasn't right.  i took his temperature again and it was still 102.  yup, made the executive decision to take the dude to patient first.

5 minutes until we were at patient first i had flashbacks to when he was 7 months old and headed to the doctors.  yup, i turn into the parking lot and graham starts coughing...but not a normal cough.  ugh...with the third of three coughs comes the vomit.  commence mommy freakout mode!  i speed through the parking lot and get to patient first.  luckily i had some towels in the trunk and i was able to get most of him clean.  shorts were toast though, so i had to call grady and have him come bring me some, since of course that was the one thing i didn't have in the diaper bag.  

i could tell that graham was definitely not himself when he fell asleep on me in the waiting room after we had been checked in.  he barely even woke up when they were taking his temperature and weight.  it wasn't until we got to the exam room that he kind of woke up and was somewhat himself.  

as we waited for the doctor, we were able to distract him a bit with a movie on daddy's phone.  

definitely not the news we wanted to hear from the doctor though.  

STREP!

oh no!!!  this is graham's first case of strep, and if he's anything like his mom...it won't be his last.  for his sake, i hope it's his last.  or at the very list, one of a handful of times he gets strep.  

well...looks like someone will be staying home from school tomorrow!

super graham

thanks to miss colleen and mister cormac, we have all of criostoir's old super hero costumes.  yes, they're a little big for graham, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to put them on all the time!

let me introduce to you....batgraham!

and here we have spidergraham and wolvergraham!

keep being cute kid!  it looks good on you!

north cackalackie

so here it is, the sunday after the fourth of july and i realized i only took about a days worth of pictures while we were visiting nicole and jeremy in north carolina.  i also then realized that i took not a single picture of the the four of us friends.  i blame that to the fact that we were having such a great time that we burned all the images into memory.  

we had such a great time and the days seemed to fly by.  thank you both so much for the wonderful visit and we can't wait to see you both soon!  oh...and mojo already misses clover!!  :)

butterflies, insects and dinos...oh my!

planned for us today was a trip to downtown raleigh to visit the museum of natural sciences.  good choice for being inside too seeing it is hot hot hot!  

first exhibit was the living conservatory where we got to be inside a room with tons of beautiful butterfiles.  we also saw some lizards and happened to be in the exhibit for the turtle feeding.  

next up....insects!!  graham was very interested in the huge cockroaches.  yick!

finally....the dinosaur exhibit!  what can i say, the kid loves his dinosaurs!  even when we went to the discovery room at the very end of our visit he found the box of dinosaurs and proceeded to line them up neatly in a row.  he also put them back very nicely before we left.  if only he would do that at home!

happy 4th!

we woke up early this morning and headed down to raleigh, nc to see our friends nicole and jeremy for the weekend.  mojo was in tow, seeing as they have a pit bull mix as well, clover.  

luckily the dude was feeling better and slept most of the trip down.  it was rather hot outside though, so he was a little cranky when we got there.  

we had a great time though.  nicole had invited some of their neighbors over for a cookout and we were able to hang out and relax.  the dogs wore themselves out playing.  and the boys had fun tasting beers together!  

i realized about halfway through the day that i hadn't really taken many pictures.  d'oh! but at least i had a few before someone got really messy eating watermelon.

feeling puney

oh no...this little guy is not feeling well!

woke up with a fever, so i guess we'll be staying home from school today.

and i had to document this picture as it's the FIRST time he has ever fallen asleep on the couch!

that's was the tell tale sign that he really wasn't himself.

feel better soon dude...we're headed to NC soon!
