It was cool, dark and rainy this morning. Would have been a perfect morning to stay in bed. But alas, I had to get up and come to work...

Alexander had a bug of some sort. Running a fever around 101 that keeps coming back when the Advil wears off. Last night he said his belly hurt and fell asleep at 6pm. Around 7 I noticed the fever, gave him Advil and he woke around 8:30 and said he was ready for bed. He was up at 4:30 saying his belly hurt, gagged/spit up a little then stayed awake on our bedroom floor watching tv instead of going back to sleep. I'm so tired, here's hoping he naps today.

Also, yesterday afternoon him and I mixed up chocolate chip cookie dough, he washed his hands before helping and he didn't touch the ingredients, just dumped the measuring cups into the bowl. He did insist on blowing on the dough while it was mixing a few times. These were supposed to go to H's work today but I haven't baked them yet because I'm wondering if they just need to go in the garbage (it's about 100 cookies worth of dough) or will baking the cookies be fine?

There's a double nap going on here! B's going to the Phillies game tonight with my H so I convinced him to nap now so he wouldn't be tired there.

We leave for our road trip with my parents tomorrow morning, and I haven't packed yet.

We survived our drives to kc and back. The kids were amazing and never complained. Things they loved in the car. Amelia loved her stickers. Magnets and of course the iPad. Brady read books. I packed a small metal lunch box for him with little Legos/ Lego guys his iPad. There were times they both watched one movie on the iPad then other times they just played on there own. Brady's favorite part was playing with his cousin who was 9 months younger. Amelia would not stop dancing at the wedding reception and we were there until 11:00. Both kids loved the lake and caught their first fishes. It's visits like that that make it hard not to move back but then my mom opens her mouth and I want to run away.
