Memorial Day Weekend!

Ok, I have to be honest, I thought our Memorial Day weekend could have been better. We didn't do a whole lot and every day this weekend felt like every other day of my life except that Ian was home for most of it. On Saturday I took Weston grocery shopping with me and then Ian went and helped our friends get their front yard ready to be re-seeded. That night they came over for dinner and hung out for a bit. That was pretty fun. Sunday Ian had to speak so he was busy all morning preparing his talk (if you didn't already know, Ian's a bit of a procrastinator when it comes to things like this). Sunday afternoon Ian and I took some pics of just us to send to his sister, Aly, for a project she is working on at school. We didn't have a single picture of just the two of us since our last anniversary, so it was high time we took some more. It was actually pretty fun and felt like doing engagement pics again. :)

Monday dawned rainy and cold. Weston was up at 6:45 and therefore so was I. Ian and I took turns running errands without the kids all morning. Ian went and picked up our new patio furniture set, so that was pretty exciting, but it's not all set up yet. It will be so nice to have actual chairs to sit in instead of camp chairs. I will post pics when we get it all put together and outside. Ian and I both napped while the boys napped in the afternoon, then after naptime we went over to the church and played with Ian's RC truck and Weston brought his soccer ball. Last night we started watching National Treasure, but didn't make it through the whole thing before I decided I'd better get some sleep instead.

WARNING: the following paragraph is about Weston's constipation. If you have a weak stomach, do not read.
Weston was not feeling good all day Monday. Poor kid hadn't pooped since Friday, so every half hour or so he would fuss and say he didn't feel good and go lay down on the couch wanting me to tuck him in with his blanket and Elmo and Duckie. I figured running around at the church would get things moving for him, but he refused to poop. I thought for sure we would be up with him in the night, but he slept all night long. First thing this morning he was crying and curled up on the couch. Luckily late last night Ian went to the pharmacy and got a toddler enema. So we gave it to him this morning and he cried and didn't poop . . . STILL. I was waiting until 8 for the doctor's office to open so I could make him an appointment when he curled up and was actually pushing. After pushing for a few minutes he all of a sudden sat up and threw up all over the throw pillow (luckily only getting a tiny bit on the couch). It was pretty traumatic, but after the pooping and the throwing up he felt almost 100% better and has been fine the rest of the day. I have renewed determination to make sure he eats lots of fruit and fiber. :)
