Cottage Life

Sis had a hayday at the cottage! She was actually old enough/mobile enough to enjoy it. She ran around like she had never been outside before. We went to the park and she loved the swings and the playground equipment. We made a fire early enough that she even got to sit with us and roast marshmallows before heading to bed.
The kids pretending to fish on the dock. The dock isn't even in the water- they just climbed all over it on shore.
Cobe the fisherman.
Brooksie the crazy man!

As you can see, our plans totally changed for last night. Ryan and I were supposed to have date night, but Cobe being sick threw off our plans. He woke up Friday morning with a fever and sore throat. So he obviously couldn't go to school or to the Boeves to spend the night. As the day went on, he seemed to feel better, so we took the kids with us to the cottage. They had a blast! We ate dinner and played outside for a long time. We built a fire and had smores. They will be sad to sell it I know. But at least we can enjoy it until it does sell.

Well.... then Cobe took a huge turn for the worse at about 2:30am. He woke up with a high fever and a very sore throat. So he and I sat up all night. I gave him Tylenol, but he couldn't sleep. So this morning when Brooks and Sadie woke up, we cleaned up really quickly and headed home so he could go to the doctor. Ryan just called and said that he AND Cobe both have strep throat. They both got an antibiotic so hopefully they'll be on their way to getting well soon. Ryan just thought he had a cold all week, but since he was taking Cobe in, thought he'd get checked as well.

The rest of our weekend plans are now shot! We had a babysitter for tonight and were going to the F.O.P. for dinner and a band with Ryan's work friends, but we had to cancel on that. Tomorrow I still have to teach Sunday School, so I guess Ryan will just stay home with the kids. We were supposed to go to Mary Jo's for lunch for Amanda's birthday, but we won't be making that either. Bummer! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!!! Today, my young, young sister-in-law turns 27! I never lose track of how old she is because she is 10 years younger than me.

So, I hope to escape in a little while to go to the mall when Ryan gets home. My mom's birthday is approaching so I need to pick up a gift for her. :-)

5 more sleeps until we are out of here! Hopefully with WELL kids! :-) Happy Saturday!
