The Weekend goes too Fast

Tug-Tug has a fascination with taking pictures. I don't have a picture of what was behind us.....a bright yellow convertible Corvette. He was loving that.
Nor-Nor is jamming out to *Decemberadio.* The Cove had the End of Summer Bash today. Free food, ice cream, drinks, jump houses......very fun!!! And we finally got to see the finished product of the new building in M'ville. Wow!!! It's incredible.
A Maize Maze....last minute decision to go try out a corn maze. They had bounce houses there too!!! Why is everything so expensive??? It was still interesting walking through corn that was 8 feet tall.

Tug-Tug led us most of the way. We never did find the questions or the mailboxes. The kids weren't really into it so we only spent about 30 mins. in. Most people took at least 2 hours to get the clues and find their way back out.

Laborious

I have never done a meme on this blog that I can remember, so I guess this one is fairly short and sweet and just as good as any other.
*How long were your labors?
Child #1: 18 hours
Child #2: 12 hours

*How did you know you were in labor?
I was induced both times. I highly recommend this if at all possible.

*Where did you deliver?
In a hospital both times........the same one.

*Drugs?
Of course. An epidural with both after the patosin (spelling?) to get labor started. I am still convinced that my 2nd epidural is what has led to the extreme low back pain I suffer with on occasion.

*C-section?
Thankfully........no

*Who delivered?
The same doctor both times........*Dr. Jones.* He had gone home with the first only to be called back 20 mins. later. He didn't think I was going to have baby in the middle of the night.

PLAN B

Nor-Nor dancin' her way back to the table. Too cute.

Look at Poppop's form. He beat us all.

Someone in *Iredell Co.* got something wrong when they opening the fair today on the 7th, but the place doesn't officially open until 5 p.m. tonight. What were they thinking??? Didn't they realize school and work (for most) was out today. Anyway, we didn't know this until we got there. So we looked at a few cows and some chickens and then started for plan B. We decided to go BOWLING. We had a really good time. And there is an archade there for Tug. He is such a sucker for the games. This is a very nice bowling alley. We will certainly go back. We were all aided by the bumper bars on our lane too. Off to work tomorrow. I would definately be one to vote for 3 day weekends all the time. Sometimes 2 days just isn't enough.

Swing for the Fences

I know you all have been eagerly awaiting pictures from our first t-ball practice session. This was really a try-out and Tug did really well. He seemed to have alot of fun so we were excited about that.

On a more somber note about Tug, it seems that he has had a harder adjustment to this change of kindergarten than we originally thought. After a 2:30 a.m. trip to the ER last night (Tug was screaming and moaning about his stomach for the 2nd night in a row....you would have thought someone was stabbing him) we have found out that he is majorly constipated and stressed. I guess our child hates change more than I do. Needless to say......I would have to chock this up to one of the top five worst weekends this family has ever had. Hopefully he will get adjusted soon.

A Better Beginning.....

to the school year as opposed to last year which was just crazy. There is change of course which I hate..........but Tug seems to be adjusting well. I hate that he is in afterschool care, but we are doing what we can for now. After picking him up today, I understand why some people have children really close together or want twins. At least then it's the siblings against the world. I didn't think I would say this so soon, but I am going to be so glad when Nor-Nor gets to elementary school too.
Please pray as Tug has some sort of urinary issue that we need to get figured out. I guess everyone in this family is going to take turns since last year was all my issues.
The county fair is in town this weekend......so much looking forward to a 3-day weekend. We all need a rest around here. Tug has t-ball on Thursday since last week was canceled due to rain. Hopefully I will remember my camera this time. Oh.......and hopefully I can make it to dark before crawling into bed this evening.
