Arrr... I'm a pirate!

So, last week we went to the opthamologist last week with Mat. One of his eyes is misaligned, not all the time, but sometimes. We've found out that this has gotten worse over the past six months and now he has to wear an eye patch! It's only for four hours, but still he hates it! We go back in February to see if it's gotten any better, if not, there is the mention of surgery. So we'll take it a day at a time and see what happens. So anyway, here is a picture of Mat's stylin patches, I'll get a picture of him wearing it up sometime as well!

Cough, cough, ugh

So yea, I managed to avoid the family illness for over a month and a half. It all started Thursday with an itchy throat, then a froggy voice Monday, then an even froggier voice Sat. Then just total ugh on Sunday. Well I feel better, but now I have a cough! And it's not the cough that actually does something. Nope, this is a cough that is just annoying. Ah well.

In other news, Mat is asking to go to Kindergarden...He's only three! I wish he'd be this little forever (well most days I do, other days I just think to myself...and I want another one why?...today was one of those days, lol)

Today was interesting...Mat woke up ready to play at 4:30, why I have no idea. I was not feeling well, so Scott took over. I kept waking up throughout the hour Scott was trying to ease Mat back to sleep. I finally caved and helped Scott out, and said "Mat, Mommy doesn't feel well, go to sleep..." And he did, but only for about 2 hours. Scott and I got woken up around 7ish by his Dad, who called Scott to have him help track a buck he shot with his bow. This ended up being a task that would take an hour, to one that took the entire day. With, um, no luck. Well, the brother in law, did find a dead deer, be it one that was dead for a few days though...ew, gross. So after Scott left to track the deer, I was left with the beast...5 minutes of rest past, when all of a sudden 'I AM HUNGRY MOMMY!' Ugh, I tried telling him Mommy didn't feel good, and she wanted to sleep, but he was not having that. 'I WANT PANCAKES!' So I finally got out of bed, we managed to compromise on muffins. The muffins pleased the beast, but only for a bit. I was drained of energy due to being sick, and I just wanted to lay down and watch tv...but 'I WANT TO PLAY TOM AND JERRY! TOM, YOU NEED TO CHASE ME!' rang through my ears. I finally got him playing one of his interactive tech games. Then I went out to the in laws for lunch.

So yea, I'm going to bed early...hopefully I am good enough to get to work tomorrow. I have one sick day left, I'm saving it. Well, trying to. Wish me luck!

I have a robot as a son...

So Mat went trick or treating on Thursday (yea our township is weird) and he loved every minute of it. He was Wall-E this year. He picked out exactly who he wanted to be. We went with his friend Alex. Alex was a train engineer. So we started out at Alex's house...His costume was cool, because the front of it opened and he could put candy in it.






So the night started...Mat ran from house to house, saying trick or treat...a few times we had to threaten to take all of his candy because he kept forgetting to say thank you!

So then we went back...dragging Mat with us (well we ended up carrying him in the end!)
