Spring Break Day 7 - Friday

Today was a much better day for the Timberlake family!  Mason seemed to be feeling a bit better this morning (although he gradually got worse throughout the day again.)  Terry and I went to our favorite place - Chuy's!  It was so good!  I was proud of myself too, for planning ahead and figuring out points before we ever left, so I didn't have to stress about how much I was eating.

After lunch and a stroll around Target, Mason and I went to Whistle Stop for some fun!  He still wasn't totally himself - instead of running and climbing like normal, he just wandered around and watched the other kids.  We did get some good pictures though (of course!)

 

I'm hoping my little man is back to normal tomorrow!

Spring Break Day 6 - Thursday

If I have to watch one more Elmo video, I'm going to scream!!!

Okay, not really.  But since Mason has been sick, we've been watching a LOT of Elmo.  A LOT.  Terry and I have both had enough Elmo to last us a long time. 

Mason is still not feeling great today.  His eyes are still very goopy, and he's still coughing like crazy.  The Albuterol made him so aggressive and mean, I called his doctor this morning to see if there was anything else he could take.  She said for him to stop taking it and recommended some OTC cough medicine instead.  Hopefully we'll have a better night's sleep tonight than we have the last 2 nights.  The good news is he's been asleep for an hour and hasn't woken up yet, which is an improvement over the last 2 nights!

In other good news, I had my WW weigh in tonight, and I've lost 2 more pounds, for a total of 7.6 in three weeks!  I can definitely feel it - most of my pants are falling off! 

Tomorrow we're supposed to go to Chuy's for Terry's birthday.  Here's hoping that Mason feels better!

Spring Break Day 5 - Wednesday

Day 4 was pretty rough.  I took Mason to the doctor first thing this morning and he was diagnosed with bronchitis and a double ear infection.  He tore up the Scott & White pharmacy waiting for his prescriptions, and that was just the beginning of the destruction!  Okay, maybe he didn't actually destroy anything, but it was a rough day.  The Albuterol the doctor prescribed made him kinda hyper and difficult to deal with.  We tried to stay close to home so he could just relax and rest - yeah right!  We finally had to get out this evening to see his grandparents, just to keep him occupied for a few minutes.

I also got my hair cut today - nothing major, just a trim and some new layers!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for us!

Spring Break Day 4 - Tuesday

Well, we were a little doubtful last night, but we made it to the zoo today!  Mason woke up fever-free, so we decided to go for it.  He had a good time - I think he was a little overwhelmed, but he loves animals so he definitely enjoyed it.  We got a wagon for Mason and Lewis to ride in.  They didn't spend much time in it until the end when they were getting tired!

 

 

Mason especially loved getting to run around and explore, but he was very good about staying close to us and not running off.  

 

 

 

 

By the time we were finished, Mason was tired of taking pictures, and this is the best family pic we could get!

 

 

And of course, as soon as the car started moving, Mason was passed out.  He slept the whole way home! 

 

When we got home, I took Mason to a Mary Kay party that a friend was having.  While we were there, I could tell he was feeling bad again - his eye was all goopy and leaky, and it progressively got worse throughout the evening.  Looks like at least part of Day 5 of Spring Break will be spent at the doctor...Day 4 was great though!

Spring Break Day 3 - Monday

Today, Terry and I did some Spring cleaning and cleaned out our closet!  Our closet is pretty small to begin with, but it was amazing to see just how much junk we had!  We were able to take 3 bags to hospice and tomorrow we'll take a huge stack to the consignment shop.  Here's our huge consignment stack:

 

And here's an after pic of my side of the closet - too bad I didn't take a before picture, but there's a pretty big difference!

 

Then, the time came to turn Mason's carseat around.  It was kind of a sad time for me, but I'm so glad we made it to 2 years old (almost) like we planned!  He thought he was one cool dude facing forward!

 

And here's another picture of the little man today just because I like it!

 

Tomorrow, we're supposed to go to the zoo, but Mason went to bed with a temperature of 101.8, so we'll see what happens on day 4!

Spring Break Day 2 - Sunday

Today, we went to Harker Heights to do a little shopping.  We were able to find a few cute things for Mason for his pictures on Wednesday, and we also found these:

 

He is the coolest kid I know!  =)

Spring Break Day 1 - Saturday

Spring Break is finally here!  I am so excited for a much needed break, and looking forward to spending some extra time with my family!

On day one of Spring Break, Mason helped his Grandpa work in his garden.  He was such a good helper!

 And of course after all that hard work, it was time for some fun!
