busy, busy weekend ahead

So the BBQ season for us is almost over...I am so ready for this to be over. The last BBQ that we attend of the year is the American royal that happens the first weekend in October every year. Dad seems to stress the most about this and always drives everyone nuts. This is going to be a fun weekend for the kids as well because they are super excited that they get to go "camping" one last time. They will also have lots of fun at the petting zoo, blow up rides and getting to go shopping. This is also a time for us to meet up with family which is always fun. Ron, Lori and Chris are coming to visit along with Grandpa. To say the least I hope that we have a great relaxing weekend getaway before the baby gets here which will be in about eight weeks....that will fly by us I am sure of that.

Sickness Go Away

So school has barely started and winter isn't here and yet we have already had our first round of illness. Katelynn started to run a temp late Sunday night. She complained of her throat hurting and had a nasty little cough to go along with it. She was very willing to go to the doc on Monday until they went to swab her for strep throat. Thank goodness her test came back negative and that she was the only one in the house that caught anything. Come to find out two of the kids that sit at the same table where sick with strep and one had the same inflamed tonsils just like Katelynn. So back to school she went today and I don't think she could have been more happy to go. She kept telling me yesterday that Caden was driving her crazy.
