It's our last week of summer before Max starts school (more on that a different day) and instead of cramming in all the fun activities we can we're sitting around at home, watching more TV than we have in at least the last month. Max caught that weird virus that is going around. From the few people I've talked to it lasts about 3-4 days and instead of him being sick all day long he'll be running around and normal and than suddenly not feel well and have a rather high fever. A couple hours later? He's back to normal. And than it happens again and again and again.

We're on day 3 today and we also have his open house at his school today. You know the one, where he'll meet his teacher and see his classroom? So instead of hoping the bug is gone and letting him run around only to find out he is still sick, I've confined him to the house and put on more and more movies for him to watch. I'd really hate for him to be sick and have to miss his very first school open house!

With all this sickness going on at our house I've been going a little stir crazy. Thankfully Uncle Cecil agreed to watch the kids last night so that Dusty and I could join Katie and Andrew at the Minnesota Twin's baseball game last night. We had a great time even if the game wasn't all that exciting. (I don't even know who won, we left before the end as it was a late game and we had a bit of a drive to get home.)

Yes, my husband really does hate having his photo taken. I can't seem to make him change his outlook on that. Thank you Katie and Andrew for inviting us and for a nice adult evening out, and thank you Cecil for watching the kids (sick and all) so we could enjoy our evening.
