pumpkin patch 2012.

also known as "fall part 2", i guess ;)

tonight we went to the pumpkin patch!! so much fun.

aidan and sawyer had a blast feeding the animals.

reese stayed with EJ the entire time.

miller did have socks on (adorable ones that look like shoes), but now i have to search the stroller bc i dont know where they went lol

sawyer did not like the hay bale maze (at first).

i finally got in a pic or 2.

these are barely edited - just for white balance and such. i wanted to get them up! haha

fall part 1.

well first of all, i should show off my little pumpkin. lol


 
things we have been doing...

yesterday we painted sawyer's pumpkin from school "county fair day" (pics of that later) and then our baby pumpkins :)


reese being silly and saying "mommy? i tired..."
 then today we went to trader joe's and made pumpkin bread - but we added bananas!!

a long week.

this has been a rough week.

a week ago tuesday, reese was sent home from school bc she puked. although it wasnt puke. it was like she gagged on her own phlegm and then spit it up. no big deal, right? we watched her and she seemed fine. we went to a bday party on friday where she was sort of... whiny, but ate lunch and seemed fine.

after that she took a turn for the worse. she didnt eat from saturday onward. she was puking every little thing she drank (mainly gatorade) up. and then she stopped peeing. on sunday, EJ took her to the ER. she was dehydrated at this point and needed an IV. he said it was horrible to watch. but after 2 bags of fluid and some zofran, she came back a bit peppier.




 

we were told she had a UTI and got a prescription for that. honestly, had she had a fever, i would have assumed that early on. but nope - no fever the entire time.

monday was rough.


 

she slept all day. the lack of sleep from the day/night before was taking its toll and she was so weak. she still wouldnt eat and we were basically forcing her to drink. and doing droppers of liquid at one point. we kept up on the meds and just hoped she would pee. which she did all monday morning after the IV the night before, but by monday night, she didnt again.


she is usually a nighttime pee-er so we put her to bed and prayed. she woke up at 3am without pee. so EJ took her back to the ER. this time, though, they did not see the same stats as the night before - we had the same nurse... woohooo! but he had reese do a bladder u/s and there were 97mls of urine. waiting. waaaaiiitttinnggg.... to come out.

i went to my parents house with reese and miller on tuesday to just have someone help me while EJ worked. reese and i laid down while they played with miller. wednesday was a bit better... she laughed more. stayed awake more... ate one bite of food...

then today?!

 

she felt much better!! more laughs... more talking... more awake time! she even ATE FOOD!!! ::confetti:: my sweet girl is finally feeling better and i am so happy. a few more days of abx and she'll be back to normal, silly, awesome reesey.

so thank you, friends, for all the thoughts and prayers. :)

on a different note... while aidan was at dance, i got some pics of sawyer and miller.

dinner time.

i went to fill the bath up and stuck miller's dirty sketti face in here hahaha
 

all clean!!!
 
 and one selfie in the mirror. haha
 

i have been slacking.

i have been bad. since this was my first year not doing photo 365 in a while (i did it in 2009, 2010, and 2011), i have been horribly bad about not taking photos of the girls just... being. just hanging out. the details and the fun. so i am trying to get back to that. and ill be doing 365 in 2013 for sure.

so here's some fun from upstairs. messing up bedrooms and the gameroom lol

and apparently, my kids hate clothes.
