Weekend Wrap-Up

I guess you could say we spent the weekend recovering.  All of us.

Maya slowly dug out of the feverish pukey hole she was in, thanks to two different antibiotics.  Because of course the two different infections she has can't be made better by one drug...it had to be two.  So for the next week, we have to give her two doses of two medicines...and she hates it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Her favorite new phrase is "NO MOMMY!  NO!"

Exhibit A:

She also seems to have reverted back to her terribly sleeping self a la 2013 to early 2014.  The days when she would wake up multiple times a night to be soothed.  Of course, Chris of I flew to her side the few days she was truly sick, at all hours of the night.  Now, she seems to be in that habit again and we don't appreciate it.  Hopefully it won't last long.

Come back tomorrow, the 23rd, for more things Maya.  I'll have some funny and adorable videos, since she'll be a whole month older than the last 23rd.

Also, we are exactly ONE MONTH away from SIX with the other one. Unbelievable.

Anyway...other things about the weekend...

Saturday morning was a crabby morning.  Notice Callie's red moustache?  Of course she has a cold.  Also, she insisted on wearing Maya's 24-month-sized cow costume.

Thankfully G-ma and Pa came to the rescue (again) and took the girls for most of the rest of the day.  I was able to clean and get a massage.  Then Laura, Craig and my mom brought over our "new" bed.  My mom decided to get a new bed, so Chris and I got their old bed.  It is perfect for our space, and special that we get to have it.

Thanks to Craig, Laura and Boom for the manual labor- taking it apart at the condo, renting a moving truck,
moving it, and putting it back together at our house. 

On Saturday night Boom and Auntie Mari came over to babysit so Chris and I could go out for a bit after bedtime.

Today was super chill.  I spent the morning with Cal while Chris and Maya went to Sunday school.  We went to get her a haircut (she FREAKS out when getting her hair washed and brushed and I'm over it).  The hair cut lady cut it WAY short though (I said a cute bob...and it is definitely a bob, a very short bob), and Callie doesn't like it.  I guess it is a good lesson in:
1) if you want longer hair don't make it miserable for others when it comes to bathing and brushing
2) hair grows back, so hakuna matata

Left: before hair cut
Right: hair cut- it is even shorter in the back

Auntie Cat came over this afternoon to hang out.  Then Chris and Cal went to watch the big game at the Wicks' while Maya and I did errands, laundry, and tried to continue to take it easy. 

Lastly, one of the reasons I love weekends is because I am still home when the sun is coming up.  It comes right through the trees out our bedroom window.  It always makes for good sunrays.

Left: Saturday morning (the finger prints became quite obvious so I cleaned the window)
Right: Sunday morning (we had a dusting of snow, to which Callie said in a dramatic voice,
"Winter is coming!" and I giggled. That's probably only amusing to you if you watch Game of Thrones)

We are coming up on Thanksgiving, and it is hard to know what to think or how to feel.  But what I do know is that we will be surrounded by lots of wonderful friends and family members on Thursday, and continue to use GRATITUDE as our word to live by.
