Not the Greatest Weekend

By Courtney 36 Comments

Hey guys! I’m just popping in quick today because, to put it frankly, our weekend was kinda crappy. Lucas’s cold remained for the entire weekend, and starting on Friday, I was greeted with the same thing. So between the two of us, I’m pretty sure we used enough tissues for all of us. Ugh.

With the exception of a quick trip to the grocery store on Saturday, I didn’t leave the house for the rest of the weekend. So the remainder of it was pretty much spent wiping someone elses boogers or trying to get rid of my own boogers.

Exciting, I know, right?

I was able to get some food prep done on Sunday (nothing too crazy, made some salad bases, cooked Lucas some pasta, made banana muffins, and a few other odds and ends) so that was nice. Oh, and Lucas actually did pretty well with the time change so that would have been really nice if I had actually slept the night before. Instead, I was up using my nebulizer so I could actually breathe. Ay yi yi.

So before this gets into too much of a Debbie Downer of a post, let’s focus on the one positive of the weekend, and that was seeing Lucas in his Halloween costume. I was absolutely SHOCKED that he not only wore it, but also managed to make it to about six houses to trick-or-treat before having his inevitable meltdown.

I meant to paint his nose black but considering we were wiping boogers from it every few minutes, I decided against it.

I’d say it still worked. Winking smile

He was in awe of the flashing lights and music coming from the house he’s staring at in these two pictures. It took is probably five minutes to slowly walk up their driveway because he watching so intently.

We were supposed to go to our friend’s house (Brook and Andrea) Friday night for Halloween, but since this guy was a bit under the weather and Jay was also stuck at home with a migraine, I kept it simple and just brought him to my parents’ neighborhood for a quick trip.

Once we made it back home, I put my little lion to bed and Jay and I sat down to our DVR and some pizza and wings.

photo (7)

I’m pretty sure it tasted good…but then again, I really couldn’t taste much of anything all weekend.

So that’s all I’ve really got for ya today, my friends. Hopefully you all had a great weekend! I’m not sure how often I’ll get a chance to check in this week since we’ve got a few things going on, but I guess we’ll just say…I’ll see ya when I see ya. Winking smile

    Aw that's the worst! A lot of people in my office said the same thing, that their kids got sick after trick or treating and they just stayed in all weekend. I also didn't have that great of a weekend, went to the grocery store and took a lot of naps!

    What a cute costume! I feel you on having to skip stuff because of being sick. We ended up canceling a trip to Lake Placid on Saturday night for an awards dinner (where I was getting an award) and then we did not go to a birthday party on Sunday, we did not want to infect all of the other children. Hope everyone is feeling better soon!

    Awww, here's hoping you both are feeling better!!! Actually, your wknd sounds almost exactly like mine... only it was just my lil' Ethan who was sick with a cold. :-( So, the wknd was pretty low-key and we barely left the house as well. Fortunately, he did do a great job as "Mickey Mouse" on Friday and had a ball at his daycare's costume party/fashion show! :-) P.S. The pics of Lucas as a lion = absolutely Adorable!!
