Fun Friday through Sad Sunday

We have had a whirlwind of a weekend. Friday was a great day of FUN. My aunt sherry and my cousins brandi and blake asked us to go to the dallas zoo with them. The kids were on spring break this week. We went and had a ton of fun. The weather was beautiful. This was Aiden's first trip to the zoo and he seemed to enjoy it. I think he liked looking at the animals he could actually make out but he pooped out before the rest of us and fell asleep in his stroller. What a good boy though! I added to the fun by leaving my cell phone on the monorail ride and then we got to spend some time backtracking and finding it but some honest person DID turn it in (which I didn't expect) so I am VERY grateful that it wasn't gone for good! Here's some pictures of the day of fun!!!

The sweetest little exchange between cousins

The boys...Aiden pooped out in his stroller. 

Blake got tired too...I love this pic!!!

GREAT aunt sherry bought Aiden his new favorite stuffed animal. A giraffe! He LOVES it!

Heading out to the parking lot after a fun afternoon. Brandi is carrying aiden. At this moment I thought to myself "she cannot possibly be old enough to be carrying MY son...I remember carrying her" it's one of those thoughts you have as you get older I guess but then I did the math in my head and thought this was kind of cool. I was 12 years old when brandi was born and Brandi is now 12 years older than Aiden. I think it's kind of cool!

Anyways so after the fun at the zoo we came home and showered and aiden napped. Then we got ready for our evening of fun. I dropped Ben and Aiden off at Jarod's apartment to have a "guys" evening and Beth, mom, mamaw, kim, and I went to Eddie V's for a girls night. The food was AWESOME! So incredibly delicious. It was so fun to have a night out for a change! Later Ben told me what a handful aiden was and how they were chasing him all over Jarod's apartment and he was messing everything up and they were tired by the time the evening was over. That made me smile. Yes, yes I know a little bit about that. Welcome to my world! It was a great night though. We went back to my mom's house to play a couple hands of cards before ben came to pick m up with aiden and it was time to take the little boy home. 

Alright so that brings me to Saturday and when we woke up saturday morning Aiden was incredibly fussy. Nothing would make him happy. He didn't want to eat, play, anything. We took a 30 minute walk outside which seemed to calm him down just because he had new things to look at but we were waiting for my mom to come over. When my mom came we headed to dallas to go visit ben's shop. She had never been over there and she wanted to check it out and see what kind of stuff they had. We also went to eat lunch at the "twisted root" which is a hamburger place. Poor mom though didn't even really get to enjoy her lunch because we were taking turns trying to stand up and walk around with aiden to keep him happy. He didn't want his bottle or to eat his food or anything. Just extremely fussy which he is not normally. After a rushed lunch we headed to mamaw's house. She has recently done some redecorating and we wanted to check it out. Again we didn't stay very long because nothing was pleasing aiden. I got aiden home and he took a 3 hour nap and then when he woke back up it was the same all over again except then he had fever.

Before the food came and Aiden was being O.K.

He is still sick today so we didn't take him to church. Poor baby I don't know if he has a little cold, which is possible because ben also has a cold right now or if his back teeth are coming in and bothering him. The doctor warned me that his back teeth would be coming in soon and that they can run a little fever and be very fussy when that happens. I got him some children's cold medicine just in case and I'm rubbing the numbing stuff on his teeth just in case. I hope he feels better soon. It make me so sad that he doesn't feel well. It's also amazing what I will let him get away with while he doesn't feel good. Poor baby just walks all around crying and fussing and opens the TV cabinet and pulls all our DVD cases out which usually gets him a swat on the hand and a firm NO but right now if it makes him happy for even a couple minutes....I'm willing to deal with it. So our house looks like a hurricane hit it and I have two sick boys on my hands. It's a sad sunday. I am hoping this will be the turning point day though.
