Saturday (3/3) was another one of those tough days. Carter was extremely needy and grumpy all day. Aubrey already appears to be doing much better after just one day of antibiotics. Carter woke up many times during the night. Actually, it took forever for him to go to bed Friday night. He just kept coughing and coughing and couldn't go to sleep.
Carter and Aubrey got up at 6:00 this morning. Carter started coughing again when he got up. We gave him some honey which he soon thereafter threw up. After vomiting he appeared to be doing better for a while. Brayden and Calvin woke up a little bit later. We got their breakfast ready and brought them downstairs. Carter wasn't too interested in eating.
We put Carter down for a nap about 9:00. Aubrey went down for a nap a little later, probably 10:00 or so. Carter got up about 10:30 and Aubrey got up about 11:00. We decided not to go anywhere in the morning because the babies weren't feeling well.
We were planning on putting the boys down for a nap a little later than usual hoping that we could get Carter and Aubrey down for another nap at the same time. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. Calvin and Brayden were playing with their trains and Brayden got mad at Calvin for something and hit him twice. So we decided to put them down for a nap right at noon. Brayden actually woke up about thirty or forty minutes later and he was drenched in sweat. We moved him to our room and he went back to sleep.
We tried putting Carter and Aubrey back down for a nap and it didn't work. Neither of them were interested in taking a nap. Yet another day where we had no time with all the kids taking a nap at the same time. It was worse this time because the babies were so fussy and needy.
After the boys got up in the afternoon we decided to head out for a break. We went to a grocery store to pick up some things for Sunday. It was good to get out. Carter seemed much happier being out in the stroller and looking at all the different things and people.
The boys have enjoyed watching Dora the Explorer. We just stream it to the Blu Ray player through Netflix. The boys watched the first Cars movie last week. They really loved it. Mama and dada enjoyed it too. We hadn't seen it before and I have to say it was a pretty good movie.
Sunday was a little better. Carter was still quite fussy and needy the whole day. We headed out to Wal-Mart to do our nomal weekly shopping trip in the morning. Carter wasn't very happy during the shopping trip as you can imagine.
We got home and the babies weren't very interested in eating. Carter just wanted to be held all day. We tried putting them down for a nap, but that didn't last long. We probably had about twenty minutes when all four kids were napping at the same time. At least that gave us an opportunity to clean the house a little. I was able to clean the fish tank and put fresh water in it. I keep wanting to get new discus fish for the tank, but I'm not willing to spend the money until I get in the habit of regularly cleaning the tank.
Erin's family came over Sunday afternoon to celebrate my birthday. My birthday is actually on Monday, but we got together on Sunday. We ordered some barbecue from Pierce's. We got both pork barbecue and chicken barbecue. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Grammie and Pappap held the babies most of the evening. Calvin and Brayden were well behaved.
