It felt more like summer rather than spring yesterday. It got up above 80! So after I picked Tate up from preschool we dropped our library books off and went to the splash pad/river thing on main street. I was thinking that the water would be too cold to actually play in so I didn't bring swim suits (after all it is just barely April). And I was right about one thing. The water was cold, but the kids didn't seem to mind much. Tate took off his shirt and was wet from his waist down. He and Allie have had colds for a couple weeks, but I figured (once again) that they wouldn't get too wet and it would just be fun to walk around in the water and soak up the hot sun.
Allie got really wet too (mostly from Tate splashing her) and so dirty from climbing on the rocks. They had so much fun. Then we went home and Me, Tate and one of his buddies played baseball in the front yard while Allie took a nap. I was the pitcher and outfielder so I got some excercise and a sunburn on my arms!
By the end of the day I could tell Tate was dragging and he had little sunburned cheeks. I had to go to a meeting for the charity commitee I'm part of with the Washington City fire department and I knew that Tate was really tired and not feeling super good, but other than that he seemed ok. After the meeting I put the kids to bed, Alex got home and I headed off to Lieto! (choir
practice). I got home around ten right when Tate woke up...with a fever. He was up till 1:30. Then again at 4:30 and finally awake for the day at 6:20. He was so tired and out of it last night. He just kept crying and telling me that I wouldn't let him ride in the rocket ship! Other than that he wouldn't tell me what hurt or anything. I gave him some tylonol, and it let us sleep for a couple hours. Finally this morning when he woke up he was able to tell me that his ear hurt. Double ear infections, AGAIN! They were both infected just about a month and a half ago. The only other time he's ever gotten an ear infection was when he was a month old and we found out that he's allergic to penecillin (the hard way.)
The good news is that after medicine for the infection, drops to numb his ears, tylonol, a humidifier, a children's vitamin just for good measure and a 3 1/2 hour nap he is feeling much better!

Mason missed his buddy today. Hopefully tomorrow Tayden will be feeling well enough to play!
Looks like a really fun day except the ear part. I have been having ear infections since last July... weird I know(especially since they are the first ear infections I have ever had), but they are sooooo misserable. I hope he feels better soon.
man ear infections are the worst! Paisley gets them a lot and usually two at a time! your such a fun mom playing basebal with the kids! Sounds like you guys are having some nice weather, lucky! P.S. the girls are 13 months apart
Hey Melissa, I don't have a blog site yet (hopefully I will soon) but I found your blog when I was looking at Jill's. Anyway, ear infections suck! My Zachary had one at least once a month until I found salvation in some herbal ear drops. He was just taking so many antibiotics. I went looking for something different and I found these drops at the health food store. Since using them (I started a year ago) he hasn't had one single ear infection. I put the drops in whenever he has a stuffy nose or whenever he starts to complain even a little about his ears. Anyway (long post) if you want more info e-mail me (amyshuree@hotmail.com) I can even get the drops for you and mail them if you don't have a health food store near by. I hope this helps!
