Nap Time's Over

I have discovered 3 words that I NEVER want to hear in the middle of the night.

This morning at around 1:30 I heard Emma fussing so after awhile I went to check on her. I get over to her room and her door is open and the light is on. Walk into her room and she looks at me and states that nap time's over. I'm surpised she was not out in the living room playing. After turning off the light I told her that it was still the middle of the night and she needed to go back to sleep. Took awhile but I did get her back to sleep. Unfortunately she woke back up a couple more times last night.

Being Sick and Company

Last Friday I received a phone call from our babysitter saying that Emma was throwing up everything she ate so I had Drew go and get her and told him I would be home as soon as I got the necessities done at work. This all started around 9am or so and thankfully by around 5pm she started to feel better.

Mom and Dad came up for a visit over the weekend and on Saturday one of Drew's coworkers came over for Supper. It was very nice being able to meet Lea because Drew talks about her quite a bit.

Anyway Sunday Drew came down with whatever it was that Emma had but it took him awhile to get over his. He did not start feeling better until Wednesday and it was good that he felt better then because I did not feel good all day Wednesday. Thankfully I do not think that Mom, Dad or Lea ended up catching it. Hopefully we will not have any more bouts with the flu.

Sunday mom and I did some shopping before they headed home and mom thought she had to go ahead and give Emma some of the things she purchased. Emma ended up with a new puzzle and a pair of rain boots. She LOVES the Boots. The boots have a monkey on the outside of them but she would not corporate to get a picture of them.
Putting her new puzzle together with Grandma. It is a 5 little monkey puzzle and it goes with the "5 Little Monkeys with Nothing to do" book that she has.

This is a hamper that I had in my bedroom at home. I brought it up to use in Emma's room but wanted to make it more kid friendly so here is the end result.

Around the House

Things have been pretty quiet around our house lately which is a good thing I guess. We spent Labor Day weekend in Jasper with Vince and Linda. Drew, Vince and Tony did some squirrel hunting and fishing. Vince and Linda got Emma a fishing pole so she had fun playing with it. They ended up with 4 squirrels, 4 frogs, and 5 fish (4 of which were 23 inches or over).

Emma was supposed to start swim lesions yesterday but they were canceled because they did not have enough kids. The only other group for her age is on Saturday and we did not want to sign up for that one knowing we would miss several classes.

Like I said pretty quiet around our house. Here are a few pictures that have been taken recently.
