N getting ready to go shopping with Mommy! We had so much fun out and about, just the two of us :-)
What are you doing this beautiful Saturday?

March can be over now...
A little note, this post will probably be very wordy. I apologize.
I usually love March. The beginning of the month can bring some snow (and snow days!) and by the middle of the month birds are out, flowers are starting to sprout, sun is shining on a semi-regular basis, we get extra time to play outside in the evenings. Other than a few allergy issues, March is usually pretty awesome. Well, March of 2011, you can leave now and don't call me, I'll call you.
My family has been sick since March started! First it was C with a sinus infection. Next is was C was some kind of respiratory virus and N had a cough for some unknown reason (probably a cold, or just because he's a baby and that's something they do). Then, Hubby got some kind of tummy issue at the same time that C was up vomiting in the middle of the night. That lead to Hubby recovering for a couple days, it was the tummy issue that wouldn't leave (I guess it wasn't taking the hint we were ready for him to be gone.) By the end of the week, C and Hubby were finally able to start thinking about eating, when my throat got scratchy, N got grouchy, and C's ear started dripping like a faucet. I had strep throat (what??? I thought it was a sinus infection oops!), C had a major ear infection and probable strep throat, and N, my poor little not yet 4 month old, strep! A couple days go by, N and I are feeling better...C is getting worse. His antibiotic did not work on his ear infection! Onto another antibiotic (his third for the month of March).
C's doing so much better, he's eating regularly again, we're thisclose to trying to wear underwear outside the house...then Tuesday happens. C had a little cough and runny nose when he woke up. Nothing major. No need for his neb treatment. He woke up from nap at school with a horrible cough and couldn't stop coughing the whole way home! Poor little dude! We get a treatment in him...an hour later, he's coughing again. Another treatment, and this one only lasts about 45 min! We call the doc, head to the ER and are there for about 5 hours! Who knew the ER was so busy on a Tuesday night?!? Lots of breathing treatments, an X-ray, and some other meds, we are sent home with instructions to see doc again on Thursday. And Thursday? HA! We thought he was doing better. He wasn't coughing as much, he wanted to play, no fever since Tuesday night...we're golden, just need another couple days on the nebs and all will be good. NOPE! More treatments at doc, put on oxygen, X-rays and two pharmacies later...he's got pneumonia! Yep...pneumonia. So March of 2011, you can be over now. Don't let April hit ya on your way out.
C? He was a trooper through all this. Some grouchiness, and sleepless nights, but overall he was a champ. He's such a happy, good little dude, I couldn't have asked for better!

Baby N not feeling very well.

C getting a neb treatment at the ER. What a cool mask!
C after his X-ray. He thought the rolling bed was the best thing ever!
And loved getting pictures taken "of his insides"!

Air & Space Museum *Picture Overload*
C has been fascinated with planes lately, so what better way to spend a day off work and school than by visiting the local branch of the National Air & Space Museum. We were joined by my dad, I think he was as excited as C to go see the planes! We weren't sure what to expect, but it couldn't have been a better day to visit. We saw lots of families there like ours, but it wasn't too crowded at all! The lighting wasn't the best for taking pictures...no flash and the pictures were a little dark, with flash the pictures were washed out! But, we did get some good ones, take a look!
This was my favorite!
Pilot C, reporting for duty!
Space Shuttle
We had such a great time, and didn't even get to everything because someone was tired and needed to get home for a nap! Hopefully we will be able to go again soon!

Ice Day
So my maternity leave was supposed to be over today (booo!) but because of road conditions, we had an ice day! (yay for not having to go to work yet, but boo for the bad roads) The whole parking lot of our community was a big sheet of ice, and so were our cars and the sidewalk. For some reason nothing got pretreated. However, last week we had some snow and they were out shoveling and treating as the snow was falling, even at midnight! So, because we couldn't safely walk to the car, let alone drive in the parking lot, Hubby was home! So, I got to spend my first day back to work (heehee) with all my boys!
We didn't do much...really we did nothing. Hubby and I took turns taking a nap (I will admit that I got a better nap than he did) and C is running around right now with a pajama top, diaper, babylegs, and socks on...no, I didn't forget to list pants. N is sleeping in his swing and Copper islaying on the couch. Hubby and I are catching up on TV shows between playing with C and holding N.
It's dinner time and I am thinking of all the things that we should have done today. Oh well...we all need days to lay around and do nothing. We had a fun day yesterday visiting the local Air & Space museum, I'll be sure to post about that soon! I promise, really :)
Oh, and because I am on top of all things cool, I finally started a Twitter account. I'm not sure yet how much I will use it, so we'll see! But, I would love to stay up to date on all you are doing! Snot and Tot twitter page

Happy 2011!
Happy 2011 everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and fun New Year's celebration.
We had a beautiful "White Country Christmas" at Mema's house.
We spent New Year's Eve celebrating with some friends. It was a lot of fun, but also a little hard because it was the first time we left N with someone (his grandparents) for longer than 30 min! But C and N did great, and I did okay as well.
For the New Year, I am hoping to start blogging on a more regular basis, lose the last of my baby weight, and get into better shape.
What about you? Any big resolutions or changes you want to make for the new year?
