When Cady asked me to watch him Thursday, I jumped at the chance. It's not often that my schedule lines up with theirs that I can help them out. We did have to go to dance and run some errands, but I figured no big deal. Except I figured wrong. I apparently forgot how much work a three year old and a baby are. It took sweet forever to get anywhere or anything done.
We did manage a successful hour at dance and a trip each to weis and Wal-Mart. Luckily the kids cooperated fully. Good thing, because one of them having a fit might have put me over the edge. I was sure I was home free after feeding them both a good lunch and getting Blake to sleep. I had a million things to do for Cooper's end of season basketball party. Wrong. No one told me Blake likes to be held - a lot. In his defense, it's a lot to go from only child to 4th in line in the span of a few hours. And so we pressed on.
We managed to make it to the gym on time and the scrimmage and party were lots of fun. It's hard to believe the season ends tomorrow. We are a little sad.
After the party I dashed back to town to fulfill my carpool duties after dance. We got home just in time for baths and bed. However, bed only lasted about 2 hours before Cooper got up complaining of stomach pain. It wasn't long before we realized the bug had finally caught us. It kept us up for most of the night but by morning he seemed to be on the upswing. He wasn't quite ready to tackle school, which meant he missed his class picture. However, he rallied and by 4pm was okay enough to sit for our easter pictures. Really, I know he still felt yucky but he knew how much it means to me. I love his heart for others.
So, we made it through the craazy week and are ready to have a relaxing weekend! Insert Hugh sigh.
