Wheel, coupons, randoms

Hi friends! So I’m happy to report that Noah’s spots cleared up in time to go to church on Father’s Day! Yay! Unfortunately, he also spread his hand-foot-mouth at daycare. :( But we’re all better now!

Things have been super busy at work. They have been busy since the tornado. Hopefully things will start to slow down within the next month.

Noah has always loved Wheel of Fortune, but now he screams out at the tv when it’s on…like he’s solving the puzzle, in baby jabber. Cutest thing EVER!

 

Also, we store a lot of Noah’s playroom toys in old laundry baskets or old diaper boxes. Noah’s new favorite thing to do is dump out alllllll of the little toys inside and play with the box/basket. This makes for a fun time for his OCD Mommy that likes everything to be in it’s place. :)

And in Daddy news, for Father’s Day Noah gave Brad a coupon binder. Brad’s obsessed with coupons these days. In fact, he has decided that he’s going grocery shopping once a week now…just to get a better deal. More power to him, I’m all about saving money, I’m just too lazy to learn how to coupon! He’s probably going to divorce me for putting this picture on the blog…

Everyone in the bloggy world seems to be posting a day-in-the-life series. I’m thinking about trying to do it too! I like reading about how other moms spend their day. Hopefully, I’ll have time to actually write down what I’m doing throughout the day!

Sick, yet again

I really think Noah has been sick more in the last two months than he has his entire little life!! Hence my pathetic blogging!

So Monday I took Noah to school (Praise the LORD summer school started). I noticed a few bumps on his legs, but as always assumed it was eczema. We went to an outside birthday party Saturday so it didn’t seem out of the ordinary for him to be broken out. His school called me that afternoon to tell me that it looked like the bumps were spreading into more of a rash. I went and picked him up and decided to call the doctor to see if they wanted to see him. THEN I remembered that I gave Noah some Pediasure on Sunday morning and he broke out the last time I gave him Pediasure (but we thought that was from his penicillin allergy). I mentioned that I thought Noah was having an allergic reaction to the Pediasure and they assured me that as long as he wasn’t having breathing problems, that I could give him Benadryl and he should be fine.

So Tuesday I took Noah to school. At 9am his school called and said the rash seemed to be spreading again. I picked him up and decided to just take him to the doctor so that they could lay eyes on him and we could get a better diagnosis.

We didn’t get to see Noah’s regular doctor, so we saw another doctor in the practice (that I’m not all that fond of). First, he told us that it looked like Noah had been bitten by fleas. Seriously?!? I had to hold myself back from slapping the man. Noah had some spots in his mouth, too. I guess all of our fleas just crawled into Noah’s mouth and bit his tongue, too. Idiot.

We left the doctor’s office still thinking he was allergic to Pediasure. I decided that since the spots look a little funky, I would take off work Wednesday and stay home with Noah. Then I noticed a blister-looking spot on one of Noah’s fingers. Then I started worrying about hand-foot-mouth disease. I religiously started checking his feet to make sure he didn’t have any blisters. I checked at 4:00pm…nothing. I checked again at 4:45pm…THREE blisters on the bottom of one foot!! FREAKIN HAND FOOT MOUTH!!!!!! I did a little facebook research and realized that a little boy in Noah’s church nursery class had it too. Bingo.

SOOOOOOOO that’s been our week. Luckily my FABULOUS friend has been watching Noah for me so I can actually get a little bit of work done. He is slowly starting to look better, thank the Lord.

(That picture was really from last Sunday, but he just looked so cute!) I reallllllllllllly hope his spots are all gone by Sunday so that we can all go to church together for Father’s Day!

A random picture post

It’s about time for my once-a-week blog post! I’m getting so bad with blogging! Do you ever just go through those periods where you are just living life and not doing anything particularly interesting? I make a daily effort to read other people’s blogs but I just feel like my life isn’t interesting enough to blog about every day! Nor do I have the time to blog every day! But I do want to be able to look back in a few years and see what we were doing, so I’ll just keep trucking along!

Noah’s preschool is out for three weeks this summer (boo!!) so he is staying with my friend, Robin, until school resumes. Thank the LORD for her! I don’t know what I would do without her!

Do you recognize that man? Brad and I were watching The Golden Girls (my favorite show EVER) and he pointed out to me that that man is Paul Young from Desperate Housewives!!! He’s like 16 years younger, but it’s him! I would have never recognized him had Brad not pointed it out.

We bought Noah a sprinkley-catepillar thing that squirts out water since his new favorite thing to do is go ‘outside outside outside’. He was terrified of it. But he does like to play with it when it’s not hooked up to the hose!

Brad and I went to a wedding in Birmingham this past weekend. Noah stayed with my sister so we could have a date night! I love getting all dressed up with my hubs and having a fancy date! It was a lot of fun!

Noah likes to read the church bulletin every Sunday so he can stay in the loop. He’s so awesome he can even read it upside down! I love that baby!

So that’s about as random as I can get! But that’s our lives right about now!
