Recouperating

It feels like it has been so long since I last wrote! I think it really was only a week, but that's OK. Our laptop charger cord's prong fell out, so we weren't able to charge this beast until my dad came home this past Monday and brought us a brand new one. Thanks dad for the save! We celebrated my birthday early up here, and I got some really cool old recipe books, and a new one from my Grandma Janet. I love old recipe books! I also got money from my parents, which I got myself a new book, and some stuff for the house.

This is my second day of calling into work, because Noah is sick. Yesterday night he kept us up all night long, and the night before my parents were victim to his night time crying. The night BEFORE that he had kept us awake too. Noah claimed a sore

throat,

didn't poop for three days ( which hasn't ever happened before) and has a case of pink eye that comes and goes. I think it's daycare, so I'm weary of taking him back.

My dad come home to Little Falls this past Sunday night, he's only here for a week, so we went down to see him Monday night, and left Tuesday night, leaving Noah with them...but Noah was ill and wanting "mom-dad" so by 6pm Wednesday night he was back home. I feel really bad that my dad didn't get to spend a lot of time with him, so tomorrow night we are going back to LF and staying for Father's Day. I really hope Matt likes his second gift from Noah and I, and that my dad likes his gift as well. ( Matt's first gift was a cart for his portable Weber grill, and he got it early by two weeks)

Grover was neutered last Monday, and it didn't even seem to phase him! We have to laugh at him as well, because when we were down at my parents the automatic sprinkle system started up and he had a ball trying to bite the streams.

Well little buddy just woke up! Time for breakfast!

Household Hiroshima

The house is clean, and I can say, I feel so zen, a bomb could blow up and I don't think I would mind....unless that bomb messed up my house.

So tired....

The past few days have been really busy, and I don't understand how. I got off workearly the past two days, and we didn't really go anywhere but run errands. Matt and I both have sore throats, and today Noah and I took a two hour nap together! I was so tired and Noah asked " Mama down?" I couldn't resist him...so I laid down with him and soon I was waking up and it was 5:30! Defintley did not mean for that to happen! I feel bad for Matt, since he had to go out to a fire on Tuesday, then had a prescribed burn on Wednesday....all that smoke did not help his sore throat. I'm lucky that I just get to make pretty cakes and desserts while at work, all the while being able to drink hot tea.

Good news in the potty area though! Noah has been going potty on the toilet about two thirds of the time during the day, and is pretty dry when he wakes up in the morning. We( Matt and I ) think Noah had a bad dream last night. He woke us up about 2:30 am with some crying and snuffling outside of our bedroom door. It's been so long since he's woke us up in the middle of the night, at first I wasn't sure of what I was hearing....I thought the dog was snoring, or in need of an exorcism! ( Sorry to say that to all the new moms...don't worry, there will come a day when you too will get to sleep through the night again!)

I made Noah a Big Boy Chart the other day, and Noah does so well! He gets a treat( weather it is a trip to the park, DQ, or going to*shudders* McDonalds playplace, or a toy) after ten star stickers on the chart...well he has almost twenty stickers already!

Matt is excited to go down to his parents house the weekend of my birthday. I'm excited as well, so I can show Mary the dress I bought for our wedding. She bought a dress already as well, so I think it will be pretty fun. I'm a little sad that I won't be spending my birthday with my family, especially with my twin brother, Zach. This is the first year that we aren't celebrating it together :( . It should be a fun weekend with my future in-laws though.

Other things that are going on in the Wappler-Albrecht household:

Grover gets nuetered on Monday, Noah mooned me this past week, while peeing on the lawn, and that Noah needs motorcycles to fall alseep!

Well, it's time for those three books, and then bedtime for mom and dad!
