Fire Engine Rally


The Fire Engine Rally was today. We have been for the last 5 years. (excluding last year when Em was born) There is a parade of just fire trucks, all the sirens blaring. Emily didn't mind the sirens at all. And the boys, of course loved it! It was right on the river front this year so we sat back on the grass, laid out our blanket and waited for the sirens. It was smaller this year and we didn't stay for the muster. maybe next year we will. The boys did get to climb into and out of a few trucks.

The boys had never been down to the riverfront before....they saw a train go right by us, they saw the barges up close, and we saw the arch helicopter tours set down and take off quite a few times. It was a super fun day!

oh what a day-oh what a week.

Our week has been so crazy. I started back at work for the school year Monday, em and noah joined me at daycare. day went well, em was tired as could be when we got home. tuesday comes and she is just not up to par. She ends up being sick most of the night, and vomitting everything she ate that day. FUN for mommy. Daddy at his fire meeting me trying to get the boys to bed so I can put Em to bed. We sit to read a story and she just starts puking. UGH, all over mommy of course so i'm yelling , GO get me a towel. My lovely boys come back with 4 pieces of toilet paper (noah) and a paper towel from ethan. AHHHHH-get me a towel! so get that squared away, noah cries because the book got nixed. Wash up me and Em, go try to give her meds as she feels feverish, more vomitting. call rick, pleases come home early. Wednesday I keep her home, she is clingy but not sick-until 5 then she has a fever. go to the store get motrin. she takes that and it is breaking by bedtime never to return! woo hoo. but Noah starts coughing. ok no big deal allergies, zrytec to the rescue. he is ok thursday, more coughing friday. But we have a playdate at Chuck E cheese. we go he is good. Naptime wakes up with a 101 fever. ok go to the store motrin for him! (how I ever ran out is beyond me) all night he is up coughing fever returns and his breathing is becoming more and more labored. This morning I try to steam him in the bathroom see if that helps break it up, it doesn't. Off to urgicare we go. His oxygen level were so low we didn't have to wait. Around 93%. he got a breathing treatment and oral steriods. by the time we left he was back up to 97-98%. He is on steriods for the rest of the weekend. and hopefully we are all on the mend and no one else gets sick!!!!!!
