Comings and Goings

Our poor little Megan has been sick for a week and a half now.  It all started with the fever that didn't break for three days and then it was just cold issues, like runny/stuffy nose and a small cough.  Then Friday afternoon is when the diarrhea started.  With diarrhea comes many other problems...diaper rash, tummy hurting, and the worst is that she hasn't been eating very well.  She did eat some baby cereal with bananas twice today, but she only had maybe 15 ounces of formula all day.  If she still has it tomorrow I am going to call the doctor.  Megan definitely doesn't have any weight to be loosing by not eating.  We really need our baby to get healthy again - we could really use a good night sleep too.
I have been having a hard time with my memory these days.  I don't forget my keys or the kids, but peoples names and things that I have been asked to do (like for my calling) and it isn't fun.  I feel like people are going to think that I am irresponsible or not reliable, but my brain is just mush.  I think it is my lack of sleep.  My most important responsibility is my family and so I only remember stuff for them...oh I don't know.  I am nuts. I really need to start getting better sleep soon (I am sure that Tony could use better sleep too).

We had our first fire of the season on Monday.  It was really cold and the fire was really nice.  We also got our new foam cover for the fire place.  It isn't as nice as we thought it was going to be, but it works to protect Megan from hurting her self.  So now we just have to hope that Tyler, Josh, and/or Koda doesn't destroy it.
We had our Primary Program today.  I was told by many people that they thought it was really good.  We did less speaking parts and more songs and I think that it turned out pretty good.  Tyler didn't have a speaking part, but he did pretty good singing the songs.  He got to sit right in front where the Bishop normally sits.  Tony's dad came and supported us by coming to our sacrament.  He stayed for the rest of church and then joined us for dinner.  It was nice spending time with Grandpa and having him spend the afternoon at our house.
We all went in the front yard and watched Tyler and Josh ride their bikes.  They both ride really good on their bikes.  Josh wanted Tony to take off his training wheels on Saturday, so Tony did.  Josh had a hard time, but didn't try for very long.  Tony put back on the training wheels, but thought that if Josh would have tried another five minutes he might have learn to ride without training wheels.  Maybe he'll try again if the weather holds, otherwise it might have to wait until next Spring.
Halloween is on Wednesday.  The boys are really excited.  Tyler will get to do the school parade that morning and then have a class party, so that should be super fun.  Josh's preschool isn't going to dress up or do a party - bummer for them.  I guess the preschool doesn't celebrate holidays specifically.  His teacher said that they will do fun "autumn" activities, but nothing Halloween specific.  Our ward is doing Truck-or-Treat on Halloween night.  It starts pretty early at 5:30 so I am happy about that.  I would like my kids to start when it's light so that they aren't out when it is so cold and dark.  Should be a fun day - gotta love Halloween.
