Girls Camp and Random Acts of Kindness

I'm leaving in about an hour to attend girls camp for the next week. Donald has taken the week off and will be spending it with Sebastian. I'm a little nervous to leave my boys for a week. It's not that I don't trust Donald, he is more than able to take care of our son for a week. It's just I have never been away from Sebastian for longer than a night! So this is going to be very hard, yet extremely fun and rewarding. I am however, looking forward to not having my phone ring for a week! On an other note Donald, Sebastian and I returned home last night after having dinner with my parents only to find a plate of chocolate chip cookies on our door step. My first thought was since there wasn't a note was to through them away since we didn't know who they were from{how sad and paranoid is that}. But after Donald ate one and didn't die, I let Sebastian have some. They are really good, thanks to whoever sent them to us! And since I don't like to post with out a picture here are some favorites of mine.

When it rains it pours!

Warning long post:

Let me just tell you how happy I am that this week is over! It all started on Wednesday, Sebastian was complaining of a stomach ache, I thought to myself you haven't gone number 2 since Saturday. So I put him on the potty but he couldn't go. No big deal I'll just give him a suppository when I get home from my girls camp meeting. So I get to Leslie's house because that's where the meeting is and Sebastian wants me to hold him which surprised me because before we left all he could talk about was playing with Sammy. Ten minutes later he pukes all over me and Leslie's carpet. I feel horrible, I really thought he was just constipated! So after he sleeps there for a hour and Leslie washes our clothes {thanks Leslie} he wakes up feeling just real crappy so I asked Jim to give him a blessing and we head home. After a couple of hours he's completely fine {which leads me to believe he is just extremely backed up} so I give him a suppository and wait to see if he goes on Thursday. Thursday comes and he's fine. Still hasn't gone to the bathroom but is acting fine. So we head off to the lake with some friends. Before we leave for the lake I check my email and have something from Leslie telling me that chicken pox is going around our ward. No big deal, he was acting fine so I didn't think anything of it. We get to the lake and he is fine for a little bit and then all of the sudden he gets real whining and wants to be held. He says his stomach hurts, I'm thinking well yeah you haven't pooped in 5 days of course your stomach hurts. He does this the whole time we are at the lake, one minute he is fine the next he is in my lap in pain. One of the times he was in my lap I notice theses red bumps on his shoulders. Think about email and start flippen thinking he has chicken pox. We go home stomach pain gets worse as does the rash. Give him another suppository and call his Doctor. While waiting for doctor to call back Sebastian starts making these funny noises with his throat. I ask him if it hurts he says no, but I look inside just to be sure. OK there's sores all inside his mouth, now I'm convinced that he has chicken pox{but how he got the vaccination} call the doctor back explain new symptom and they want to see him right away. At this point I start to freak, Sebastian is not acting like himself and I just want to know whats wrong. Get to the doctors find out that its not chicken pox its hand foot and mouth disease{don't even know what that is}. not to worried about that because the not pooping is the real problem. Doctor sticks his finger up there to loosen things around and tells me to give him another suppository along with Mira lax and to call tomorrow if he still hasn't gone. Well tomorrow has come and he still hadn't went so I call the doctor, at this point Sebastian in doubled over in pain and can hardly walk, but it comes in spurts one second he is fine the next he is on the ground screaming. So the doctor has us take him to the emergency for an x-ray to make sure he is not blocked. Films come back fine, they give him an enema and five minutes later he poops and all is well. He is now fast asleep in his room. I can't say enough about the hospital that we took him to. They were great with him! If you ever have to take your child to the hospital and you live around here I highly recommend St. Elizabeth's. Sebastian is doing great other than the fact that he is still contagious from the hand foot and mouth thingy and will be for about a week. I'm so grateful that this week is over and also grateful that my little man is OK!

Our weekend

Friday:

This weekend Sebastian, myself and Brenda drove down to Columbus to spend the weekend with her son and daughter in law. Gene and Kira are good friends of the family and they have a little boy who is Sebastian's age and a little girl who is about 20 months. We thought it would be nice for Caleb to have a friend come to his house and visit him. We got to Columbus around 4:30 Friday afternoon. The kids were really excited to play together. We had a cookout that night and Brenda took the kids over to the park right by Gene and Kira's house. At 9:00 we brought them in, gave them a bath and tried to put the kids to bed. However they were so excited about having a sleepover that they didn't fall asleep until 11:30.

Saturday

Saturday was a busy day! The boys woke up early after a late night and decided it would be fun to play out side while Kira fixed us an awesome breakfast! Notice the lack of clothing on the boys, apparently its fun to run around in your under guchies. Later that afternoon we took the boys and Emilee to the pool. Emilee's allergies were really bothering her so she went home and took a nap before I could get a picture of her. The boys had a blast jumping in the pool and swimming! After swimming we headed home and the boys rested for a while, then after dinner we took the kids to the mall to run off some energy, hoping it would help them fall asleep quicker. And it worked, everyone was asleep by 9:30. Kira was shocked that I had never seen the Count of Monte Cristo, so we watched that. It was a really good movie and I plan on watching it with Donald this weekend.

Sunday

Sunday was a chill day. We started off by going to church. The boys looked so handsome in there shirts and ties and Emilee looked adorable in her little dress! Of course a forgot to get a picture of them all dressed up. After church we came home and just relaxed. The boys played in the basement most of the day. They came up with there little construction hats on and informed us they were building a temple and it was hard work and it was going to take a long time. So stinken cute! They were down there for a while before they finally came up and got us. It was so cute when they showed us, they were so proud of themselves. After temple building and dinner they went for a walk with Brenda. When they got back Brenda told us how Caleb and Sebastian were pretending a tree was a drum. They used sticks and were singing I am a child of God. So sweet, it was a great Sabbath day. After there walk we chilled out and watched Monsters Inc. and then it was off to bed. We left this morning at 11:30 and got home just before three. Thanks Gene and Kira for a great weekend Sebastian misses you guys already!

I'm really starting to like this

I'm liking this much better than actual scapbooking, it's less messy!

What do you think?

I'm thinking about offering pages like this with photo sessions {haven't decided on prices yet} the size would be an 8x10. My question to you is, would you purchase something like this. They are costume so you would be able to choose colors, themes, quotes and ect...What do you think?
