Another week that I don’t really remember much. So here’s what I do remember!
- Carson woke up with a nasty cough and complaining that his ears hurt on Thursday morning so I took him to the doctor. Turned out that nothing was wrong that they could do anything about, but I was glad to take him and at the very least make sure he didn’t have an ear infection. Betsy was really cooperative, and Carson was better than normal at the doctor’s office. He even stood on the scale without screaming! Amazing. He fell asleep on the way home and later took a 5 hour nap.
- On Friday we (Carson, Betsy and I) drove to Dallas for Beckett’s birthday party. Before we left we went to a birthday party in the morning for Sara Kate, then from there stopped at Target for some things I needed and ended up eating lunch there because I just didn’t want to get the kids in and out of the car one more time. It wasn’t too bad! The drive to Dallas is long. We stopped in Centerville for a bathroom break and to get a snack. About an hour and a half later we hit some really nasty weather, heavy rain and hail. Thankfully it didn’t last too long and we got to Lindsey’s safely.
- Saturday morning we went to Beckett’s soccer game, then back home for lunch and naps. While the kids napped we went and got a pedicure, which was a treat. That evening was Beckett’s swim party. I got in the water with Betsy, and Carson did end up putting on a life jacket and getting in the water, but after losing his footing on a step and getting his face wet he decided dry land was more his thing.
- We headed back to Houston after lunch on Sunday. It was an uneventful trip. but a long one. Ben went and got groceries for us to make burgers for dinner because he’s wonderful like that.
Happy 6th Birthday, Beckett!
