Fall Fest and Adventuresome Weekend

This weekend has gone from relaxing to a little stressful. Friday night was perfect. It got really cold and rained off and on all day so we had taco soup and rented some redbox movies. We ate our soup and then snuggled up on the couches for movie time. We all ended up getting to bed at a decent time, but still planned to sleep in on Saturday. All of us except for Jeff that is. He had to get up and be at the school at 7am to proctor the ACT. ~Have I mentioned how much I love this man?? He is always willing to do whatever it takes to earn some extra $$ for his family.~ Anyway, I woke up when he left and made the mistake of checking emails. That's another story for another day, but let's just say that reading a particular email sent my morning on a downward spiral so I used that frustration and hurt to get busy cleaning the house. By the time Jeff got home at 12:15, the house was clean and we were ready to get out of the house. We had lots of things to return and several to buy. We got home late afternoon and I cooked dinner while Jeff finished cleaning out the garage so he could start parking his car in there as well as mine. We watched some football and got in bed. We woke up this morning and Emily started complaining of her stomach hurting. The problem is that she always complains about her stomach hurting so we never really know. Since her choir was singing in big church this morning, we went on to church. We went to get in the van and I saw that there was a screw in one of the tires. LOVELY... Emily made it all the way to the offertory prayer (which is the end of the service) and then started throwing up. LOVELY. We ran home and got her changed and headed to Firestone to get our tire patched... Or so we thought. 30 mins later, we found out that our tire had to be replaced. Oh, and the little over a year old tires on the van were not under warranty and we had not selected the roadside hazard protection so we were going to be out the full price of a new tire. Thankfully, the guy figured out a "loophole" and we were about to get the protection on all 5 tires and a new tire for $111.00. LOVELY... Jeff and I feel like we got "taken", but we were too rushed to worry about it at the moment. We ran over to the Shands for Sunday lunch and then ran home to get ready for the Fall Fest. Oh, and in the middle of the Shands and home, Emily managed to throw up again. We weren't going to let her go to the fall fest, but it nearly broke her heart and I figured she'd be out in the open air so it should be ok. We stayed for almost 2 hours and came home. Emily ate some chicken noodle soup and crackers and she is like a new child. All the energy she didn't have for most of the day is coming out now! So while we didn't have any severe issues or stress this weekend, I'm ready for it to end. Here are a couple of pictures I got of the kids tonight. I had to literally bribe Preston to get his picture taken with Darth. Funny kid. Baby C is good. He/she is constantly kicking and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I'm so ready for C to get here so I can hold him/her. I have had a little heartburn lately, but nothing a Tums won't take care of. I am wearing full blown maternity clothes and realized last week that I really don't have much to wear. Thankfully Old Navy has started carrying maternity in our store in Southaven so I was able to get a few items yesterday.
