Fathers and Sons, birthdays and more..

We had another eventful week....I think my last email was all about throw up....well our house is still the sick house but it is not the throwing up house, thank goodness. Everyone has a cold but me! Gavin has been coughing, Emma has been snot nosed, and Matt stayed home today sick. Luke had quite the adventurous week...since he was sick Tuesday I kept him home from school Wednesday. Thursday he seemed fine and so I sent him to school on Friday. Well at about noon I get a call from the school. They said that Luke wasn't himself, he was quiet, tired and putting his head on the desk, and then finally when he got up from the computer desk he kind of fell over and was a little limp. They called the paramedics!!!!!! So I rushed to the school to find a fire truck and ambulance out in front of the school!!!! I never want to have that experience again, pulling up to the school and have emergency vehicles there and know that they are there for your son! I ran in and there was Luke laying there with a cuff on his arm, some kind of monitor on his finger, and then they had pricked his finger to test his blood sugar! They said he had been so brave and calm but the second I walked in he burst into tears! They said he was fine and so I just took him home and put him to bed and called my pediatrician. I think he was still exhausted from puking one whole night last week, and then a cold was coming on. By Saturday he was coughing like crazy! Well by Friday night Luke was feeling well and Matt took him to the father/son campout.

The Fathers/Sons was a blast. They hiked, cut marshmallow sticks and then roasted marshmallows, Luke got to play with his little buddies, and they sang songs. I had to call Matt about something and our friend John Lopez was standing next to Matt saying things loud enough so that I could hear and was scaring me! He would say "Luke stop playing with that alligator" etc. Not a good joke for a protective mother! They had to come back early Saturday because Matt had to work all Saturday. Oh another crazy thing that happened...as Matt was up in the attic getting our camping gear down he pulled a Tyler and stepped on the attic floor and his foot went right through! So we have a nice big hole in our ceiling in the garage! Luckily Matt didn't fall all the way through, he just scratched up his leg.

Monday we decided to celebrate Luke and Matt's birthdays! We made a sign for them, put up streamers, made a cake, and wrapped all their gifts. Luke stayed home from school because he was still coughing and it was KILLING him to wait for daddy to get home from work! He was sooooooooo excited to open his gifts and so the second Matt walked in the house he was opening them up! He was wanting a Game Boy but I wasn't ready to enter into that video game world, so we got him a Leapster. The Leapster looks like a little hand held video game but he can play educational games. He was very excited about it. Also he got more Pokemon cards which he was thrilled about too! Then we went bowling and then out to eat. I would like to announce that I beat Matt by 1 POINT! If he wouldn't have choked on his last frame he actually would have beat me big time! I love that I am the one that writes the family email so I can share important information such as our bowling scores! :) I have never seen a kid sooooooooo excited to be 5 years old in my life! He wore his birthday hat bowling and then to the restaurant. He really wanted them to sing to him at the restaurant and Matt and I teased him and said they don't sing at that restaurant. Luke tried to act like he wasn't disappointed and said "That's ok we can just sing to me when we get home". Then when the restaurant workers did come and sing to him, he was BEAMING! He kept saying ..."because I'm the birthday boy". Then he started to speak in the 3rd person..."the birthday boy wants a drink of water". He really enjoyed being the birthday boy! It was fun to see him so excited.
