Happy 3rd Birthday to Avery!

So this weekend we were so lucky to help celebrate Avery's 3rd Birthday! It was at Pump It Up and it was a great time. Unfortunately Vivian and Dan didn't get to attend.  On Friday Vivian woke up and said her stomach hurt and didn't look to spunky.  She wanted me to stay with her at school, which is so unlike her.  She didn't have any other symptoms but I kept her home from school - better safe than sorry. She had a bad cough earlier in the week that had been keeping her up at night but I didn't think anything of it.  On Saturday morning she woke up and again complained of her stomach hurting so I told Dan to take her up to our pediatrician's office while I got ready for the party.  There is something to be said for mother's intuition.  She has bacterial pneumonia. Not contagious but we kept her home from the party.  She wasn't up for jumping in a bunch of bounce houses.  Henry and I went to the party and had a great time.  I spent most of the time chasing him in the bounce houses.  There was a great turnout for the party and Avery got tons of great gifts! She had her MRI on Friday and results came back stable - so there was lots to celebrate.

A few quotes from the weekend.
Vivian on taking her Mucinex.  I bought her some Mucinex to take probably last year.  I couldn't get her to take it.  Dan bought her some - orange flavor.  She took it like a champ.  So I said "well it must have been the flavor you liked because you wouldn't take it for me last year"  Vivian said "well mom i didn't take it last year because it was complicated...I was 3." Well ok that makes sense. Then when I was reading her books for bed she pulled out her Where's Waldo book and said "Henry would be positively, absolutely mad if he knew I took this book out of his room."  And there you have it folks. 
Dan said after he was done reading his book to Henry Dan was laying there with his eyes closed and Henry said "Dad...dad" Dan opens his eyes and says "what"  Henry then says "chickenbutt" and just starts giggling!
The kids have started wrestling quite often, Henry got new shoes just like dad's shoes, Scooby is loving Henry's tent up in the living room - enjoy the pictures!!
