Busy weekend

Our weekend started Friday afternoon about 5. We spent the afternoon pampering my 14 year old sister for a beauty pageant. She was is the same pageant last year. I wrote about that here. She looked even more beautiful this year. She didn't place but she had fun and memories were made. To me, that's what it's all about. Here are some pictures of her all dolled up before the pageant.

I was childless for the night. My wonderful MIL offered to keep the children since the pageant didn't start until 9 p.m. We didn't even leave there until after 11 p.m. That would have been a disaster for my children. It was also really chilly and I don't think that would have been good for Gunner's ears. Since I was childless, I got to sit and relax the whole night. I enjoyed my time watching the show without having to chase someone around the whole time. I also got to catch up with two of my favorite girls!!!

Saturday morning we loaded back up and went back to watch Miss Ada in her pageant...

 I took the boys this time since it was a more reasonable time frame for them. It was HOT. And it was only 10 a.m. I'm glad I didn't have to have them out in that all day. Sweet little Ada got 2nd runner up out of 6 contestants.

After the pageant we walked over to Joe's Place for some breakfast and to cool off. Then we headed home. Snapped a few pictures on the way home.

We hung out the rest of the day. Not because we wanted to but because we got stuck with no keys....

Sunday we went to Ada's 2nd birthday bash at the Discovery Center. The theme was princesses and pirates. Here is the birthday princess in her pirate attire.

Tuff really enjoyed the Discovery center. This is the first time we've been that's he's really gotten into it. He, of course, LOVED the train table. I could barely get him away from it the whole time.

He also liked this big old car.

Gunner in his pirate hat.

Gunner was SO tired. At one point I was holding him on my hip and he was falling asleep sitting up. I finally laid him in his stroller for a cat nap.

It was a busy but FUN weekend!

I haven't updated on Gunner's ears in a while. The Friday before last he had just ended his 2nd antibiotic for his double ear infections. He was still pulling on his ears and not sleeping well so we headed back to see Dr. C. While we were there, he confirmed both ears were still infected and sent us home with a 3rd antibiotic. I asked him a lot of questions about this. I was concerned about him having a double ear infection for going on 4 weeks. He said this was the strongest antibiotic left and if it didn't clear it, we would have to start talking tubes. Well, we ended that antibiotic this morning and the poor baby has been pulling more on those ears the past few days then he has the whole 5 weeks this has been going on. I have him scheduled this afternoon to see Dr. C again! I'm afraid we may be headed in the direction for tubes. I'm a little scared of that but really wanting my baby to feel better, too. I will update later tomorrow on how his appointment went. Besides pulling on his ears he's been crawling!!! Since Friday he has been moving, moving, moving. Can't believe how fast time is flying by!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

Happy Monday!
