Poor Landon!

Yesterday Landon got stung by 4 wasps at the daycare. They called me immediately in case he had a reaction. I called pediatrician who said give him benadryl and go pick him up just in case. So I left work to get him. By the time I got to the daycare, no marks or anything. The benadryl worked that fast. And we found out the hard way but thank goodness he's not allergic because 4 bites could have been really ugly. BUT...the benadryl affected my son in a strange way. Sure it knocked him out first but that only lasted about an hour. When he woke up from nap he was so wound up from the medicine that he was bouncing off the walls. So Landon and I got in the car and went to Walmart. On the way, the music was going and he was having so much fun dancing that I couldn't resist taking a little video. (now before I get flamed from all of you about doing this while driving, it looks like I'm going a lot faster than I was and I was just holding the phone behind me.) This video is so freaking cute though that I just have to share it. Enjoy.

Poor Landon dances like his daddy.

Fun weekend with nothing to do!

This weekend was a lazy weekend. We had nothing to do but we made the most of it. Our great weekend started Friday night. Me and the kids went out to dinner with moma and daddy. Elena decided to spend the night after so she stayed over there. When we got home Landon decided he wanted to potty. He's been going number 1 on the big boy potty for a while now but this was the first time he asked to go number 2. He's been terrified to do this while sitting on the potty. He sat there and pooped in the potty and cried the whole time. He called grandma and grandpa when he finished to tell them because he was so excited.

Saturday we woke up and everybody helped clean the house. After we had a clean house we loaded up and went to Chuck E. Cheese. The kids always love going here. They were so hungry though that they didn't want to play until they ate their pizza. They basically inhaled their pizza and then took off. Landon grabbed the coin cup and started running as soon as we said he could go. We all played for a while and then got our prizes from the counter. The kids both got silly glasses and played with them the whole way home.

After we left Chuck E Cheese we went to Walmart to go school supply shopping. That is always fun (she says sarcastically). The kids were being awful about it so we rushed through it. Who knows if got it all or not.

Sunday was another day with nothing to do. We slept super late (9:30 is super late for us) and then we went and had lunch at Osaka with moma and daddy, Krissy, Anthony and all of the kids. Our kids always eat really good here. We all went back home for naps after lunch and had a good afternoon at home.

These are the kinds of weekends that feel really good. Weekends when you get to spend time with your family. Doing things they love to do.

Camping at Paul B. Johnson in Mississippi

This weekend we all went camping for Father's Day. Moma, Daddy, Krissy & the kids loaded up the camper and Barrett and I followed shortly after in the van. We were staying the whole weekend at the campground and the kids were really excited. When we got to the campground Friday night, daddy already had the camper all set up. We pulled up and everyone loaded into the van to go out to dinner. Hattiesburg has this great little buffet that has just the best food on it. The kids always love eating here.

Anyway, after that we all showered up and headed for bed because it was already really late. The next morning (by 9) it was already scorching. So all the girls ran to Walmart to buy some blowup pools for the kids to swim around in to stay cool. We bought a big pool and a little one. When we got back to the camper the kids were chomping at the bit to get in. They basically stayed in the swimming pools all weekend.

We took a few walks. We walked to the little beach and park area to let the kids play there. Then it started storming on our way back and we had to basically run (me, moma, Krissy and all of the kids) all the way back, about a mile, to the campsite in the rain. Saturday night we barbequed and let the kids roast marshmallows. They had so much fun. Sunday morning we played around a little bit and then loaded up and went home.

It's weekends like this that the kids really love. They are just perfectly content playing with each other all of the time. Good thing we have so many kids!
