Weekend Update

Well, this past weekend was a great one...Mom and Phoo-Phoo came down to spend a few days with us and the kids. They were down from Wednesday till Sunday evening. We had a great time.. Its always fun when people come visit us because it gives us an excuse to be tourists in New Orleans. So, we went to the zoo on thursday, the zoo is always a fun place to visit, unless its 200 degrees outside. That is what it felt like anyway, it was way to hot to go to the zoo and pull around a wagon full of groceries and the boys. The zoo was fun even though it was hot, we didnt stay long, but at least Garrett got to see the dinasaour exhibit that he has been begging for so long to go see. On to saturday, today was interesting...we were outside playing on the playground and a small thunderstorm blew up..and if anyone knows the boys real well, they are extremely scared of thunder. Well, it thundered hard one time and everyone ran for cover and up the stairs to the house. The adults were behind all the kids and we got half way up the stairs and heard the door slam and a screaching scream from Riley, we could only imagine what had happened, all we could hear was riley screaming and crying and the others yelling about all the blood. We ran up the stairs to find Riley on the floor crying, blood everywhere, and everyone kinda freaking out.. Well, the door got slammed on his toe, lifting his toenail off the nail bed, and bending it in half...So, thinking that the doctor might pull it off for it to heal better, we went to New Orleans urgent care, not having insurance, it was a bit pricey. So, we paid the doctor to tell us to keep it clean and bandaged up, but it calmed our nerves down. Saturday ended with us cooking a big pot of gumbo, and just sitting at the house hanging out. Sunday rolls around and mom stayed home with the boys while the others went to church, church was great. So finally it came time for mom and phoo to leave. I decided to ride to Jackson with them and meet dad to get my Xterra from him. Riley also decided he wanted to go, so we loaded up and headed north. We got just to the other side of New Orleans and Riley began complaining of a headache, which he complained the whole way to jackson, other than when he was asleep. We finally got to Jackson Cracker Barrell to meet dad and eat, and Riley said he wasnt feeling good, so I got him out of the truck, changed his pull up (which had leaked) and all of a sudden, BBBLLLAAAHHH, he threw up on himself and I. POOR RILEY, he had a rough two days, not really sure what was wrong with him, but after some rocking on the front porch of Cracker Barrell, he felt good enough to ride home...with mamaw and papaw and phoo phoo that is....So, Riley is back at mamaw's to be pampered and loved on by his grandparents..I hope he is feeling better..
