Long weekend (Thurs, Friday, Saturday)/Kayson icky

Well, I've been off work since Thursday... and I don't go back til Wednesday!!  Seems like forever, but I tell you what - I love it.  Even if things are stressful at home and Ryan's going to be gone, etc.  

Anyway, Thursday the kids and I made a day trip to Clarion.  We haven't been in awhile, and Hope was going to be going back to college...and we didn't have anything to really do here, so we headed up there.  We had a really good day...  but every once in awhile Kayson would complain that his tummy hurt.  He seemed fine really... but just acted weird a little.  

We spent most of the time with my nieces and nephew - Trish and Jill had to work obviously, but it was fun to just spend time with the 'kids'.  Cora played awesome with dolls and polly-pockets at Jill's.  We just hung out... laughing and just having a nice time.  We had lunch - Dad came with us too...  then in the afternoon, we went to the park and played hard...  ran around the track too!  We were going to do the pool, but the weather was super cloudy and chilly, until about 4:00, then it got warm.  So instead we went and visited 10 5-week old puppies!  Oh man - were they the cutest damn things! 

We ended up staying through supper too...  so we got to see everyone then too.  But again, Kayson complained of his tummy hurting, and Cora didn't eat one bite.  I think I was done for the day... and the kids too!  We headed back to DSM around 7ish. Overall, good day.

Friday, Cora went to daycare... and K and I hung out.  He had an eye appointment that morning (and again, said his tummy was hurting).  We got through that...  then he seemed ok.  So Ryan took him out to the State Fair.  Probably not the best decision, but I know Ryan wanted to go... and they did last year too... and K acted like he wanted to go... so I get it.  Kayson didn't feel well out there either.  Just a huge bummer.  Feed bad.

Friday night Cora and I went to Presley's 6th birthday party - just at the house...  bounce house, pizza and cake.  Cora had a nice time. 

And Saturday we celebrated Cora's birthday (see other post!!!)  Again, Kayson really complained of his tummy... so Ryan took him to urgent care.  Virus.  God damn viruses.   He came home and seemed a little 'perkier', he rested a little...  and did eat a little bit, which was good.  Then he slept for nearly 2.5 hours...  and again, woke up and acted 'ok'.  Guess we just need to take it easy... and see what happens.  

More to come later...
