Wow, this day started out EARLY….2 am Levi woke startled us awake when he was all the sudden in our room crying…after a few minutes of consoling him, I put him back to bed, just in time to hear Jack crying. Thinking he may be hungry due to his schedule being all out of sorts with him being sick, I thought I would try to feed him. Well that was DEFINITELY not the problem!!! After 1 1/2 of crying, screaming, and high pitched wailing from Jack, and us trying to console him every way possible, I gave up to our last resort, put in bed with us. Now that always worked for Levi, not for Jack though, he is a stomach sleeper and with Donald taking up 3/4’s of our queen and me hanging off the side of the bed, Jack did not have enough room to really get comfy. So as soon as he calmed down and was dozing off, I put him back in his bed, of course he woke up instantly, but I just left and he fell back asleep after 2-3 minutes of crying, and stayed asleep till 8.

SO…..this mornings breakfast was not great. I planned on getting up early and making something fun & yummy, but at 4:30 when I finally crawled back in bed, I also shut off the alarm clock!!!

Breakfast - we resorted to cereal & egg sandwiches. Kind-of blah, but filling none the less.

After breakfast, we went to the post office & library- returned some books on Curious George and got some books on PIRATES. Levi is very excited. We wanted books on cowboys, but once he saw these he was ready to go! Levi of course wore his daily outfit of cowboy boots, hat, & his toy gun in the library. He was shooting everything that moved. He wanted to take it into the post office, but I told him that wasn’t allowed. No guns in federal buildings. He thought that was silly.

Lunch - Levi had PB&J sandwich, pretzels, and raisins. Donald & I had leftover pork roast that I shredded and added bque sauce to and put on buns. (I’ll be honest, the pork roast last night was so-so, but the sandwiches were good!)

Supper - I planned on meatballs (ground chuck from freezer) & veggies, but hubbie had other idea. So hamburgers & fries (all from freezer) it is!

I have to make a Kroger run sometime today! We are running low on milk, eggs, & bread. and Jack is going through diapers & wipes like crazy….guess it is the teething!

I plan on taking our “big pot” of change with me to see how much money is in it. We usually plan something fun with that money, this year we were going to use it on our big 5 year anniversary that’s coming up in December. BUT instead we are hoping it will amount to something large and help us so that we can be “medically debt free” - we have had quite the year on medical expenses with Jack’s surprise c-section and 5 day hospital stay to his CT scan and ER visit. We have surprisingly met our deductible and have paid off all our expenses as far at the birth of Jack are concerned (or so we hope, we just paid a “surprise” bill from the guy who stood by me during the c-section!) - all we have left is Jack’s Vanderbilt bills which hopefully with our “pot of change” will be paid off in the next few weeks!!!! yay! then we are going to save change like crazy till December!!!!

I’ll let you know how the shopping trip and “pot of change” go later today!

*I put some new pictures in the September gallery* Levi playing with a bottle of water in the dirt (I told him if sprinkled water on the dirt he would “make cement” - he loved it!! & Jack has a new trick - standing up in bed! He is quite proud of himself! Makes nap times fun!
