Our Weekend & Valentines Day

Wow! What a weekend! Let's start with Thursday: Both Evan & Ethan had a dentist appointment. We know they were more than likely both have a tooth pulled. Well to sum it up Ethan did have 1 pulled, 1 cap & 1 filling, that was pretty bad to Ethan. But Evan, my-o-my Evan, he had 3 1/2 teeth pulled!!!!! 1st of all Evan has always lost teeth later than what he should have, so they were pulling some of his baby teeth (@ 13 yo) to make way for the permanent ones that were trying to come in. 1 of them had really long roots they said = Lots of pain! The 1/2 was a tooth that Evan had pulled out himself but he left the root so it had to be DUG out! Since Friday was a 1/2 day @ school if they were still uncomfortable Friday I was letting them stay home. Then one of our dear friends called us & invited us to Atlanta Friday morning to see the Ringley Bros & Barnum & Bailey Circus. We had an executive suite, excellent parking & almost floor seats, It was Awesome! The whole family had a blast, esp. Sofie she was a little scared at times, but for the most part very excited. Friday night Evan had baseball practice, then around 1:00 am Sofie awoke with a fever. Sofie has never really been sick other than a cold 1ce or 2ce & the stomach bug. She seemed to feel a little run down all day Saturday but not too sick. I kept her full of Motrin & Tylenol cold. Since it was Valentines Day me & Labronn decided to go out to eat. The kids went w/their Gramma to eat & we ventured to Gadsden Alabama to eat Top Of The River, or so we thought. Our plan was to arrive early-6:00- to beat the crowd. Little did we know that EVERYONE in Alabama must eat @ 5:30. The line was literally around the building to get in. So our quest began with a traffic jam in every parking lot! The wait @ Logan's Steakhouse was 1 1/2 hours. The wait @ Red Lobster was 2 1/2 hours!!! So we gave up & ate @ Ryan's, good 'ole buffet. No waiting there. We were in & out within 30 minutes! Never mind that we had drove for an hour to eat somewhere that was 20 minutes away. @@ Sofie Had sneezed at least 6 times an hour all day & had a hacking cough. Her fever started going back up regardless at eh medicine I gave her that night. Around 7 am I checked her fever & it was up to 104.8 so off to the ER we went. The Flu. She has the flu and she feels TERRIBLE! Sleeping, whining & crying all day and the snot - I have never seen so much congestion! All she wants you to do is hold her. I hope she feels better today, there is a ton of stuff I need to do. So that sums our weekend, there were a few minor details I left out. This blog is long enough!
