Bad Day

Today was a BAD day!  Yesterday when I picked Riley up from school his eye was bright red and pussy and I knew he had pink eye.  Rushed him  to the express care clinic right before they closed(thank God)  because otherwise it would have been urgent care with infestation of sickness and expensive visit for a quick and easy thing not worth the money.  So we got the eye drops and Riley spent the day home with dad as he needs to be on the drops for 24 hours before going back to school.  Then when I went to pick Austin up at daycare Tammy informed me she will be quitting daycare and we will have to find new daycare at the end of October!  Huge bombshell and feeling very stressed.  Got home and made supper then was headed out to the store and right as I pulled out of the driveway Austin projectile vomited twice in my care.  Big mess all over the car seat and car!  Got the kids out and back in the house.  Attempted top clean the mess up with two kids screaming in the background.  One of those moments when you would just as soon have an adult tantrum and say I can't deal with this but then you realize OH YEAH I am the adult and I HAVE to deal with this.  So I took the car seat apart and put it in the wash machine then cleaned my car as best I could.  Riley's eyes are still bright red but they say he can return to school tomorrow so I guess that is what he will do.  Then when I got the car seat pad out of the drier I realized I couldn't remember how to put the damn thing back together again.  So this was a bad day and I am feeling wide awake right now at 11pm so hopefully I get some sleep. 

Have a bunch of pics from our weekend but will post later.  Here was one of my favorite ones.

    

Ferguson's Apple Orchard, McGalvary Seven Bridges Trail and Rustic Roads

Had a fun weekend.  Jason was gone Thursday through Sunday bear hunting.  He didn't shoot one but he got within arms length of one!  He said it was pretty intense...they had dogs chase it into a tree and then it actually jumped out of the tree and took off running into a corn field.  So they chased it into the corn field and one of the guys finally shot it.  There is no way I would ever chase a bear into a corn field!  I would be horrified as corn is like a maze and you never know what is around you.  Even Jason said his adrenaline was pumping.  He is going to keep trying though and hopes to shoot one. 

I took the kids to Ferguson's Apple Orchard for the second time this year.  We will get our use out of our passes this year.  It is such a fun place but MAN was it busy on Saturday.  The parking lot was packed!  We still had fun despite the crazy amount of people.  Everyone was snapping pictures of their kids.  Great place for pics.  We picked a bag of apples and gave half to my dad for his birthday.  We will have apples for weeks!

Here are some more pictures from our walk of the McGalvary Seven Bridges trail. 

Here are some pictures from today.  Rustic roads and random pictures.

Boys with Cameras

Gave Riley my old camera.  He spent today snapping hundreds of pictures and enjoying the excitement of being able to see them on the digital screen.  Austin used a toy one. 

Here are a few of his pics.  He seemed to like the sun and sky the most.  Otherwise he liked taking selfies.  LOL!

At this angle my butt actually looks small.  This one is a keeper! 

The yellow fields are actually really pretty right now. 

My first selfie.

LOL!

Weird light bubble.

He had a ton more but most of them were of the inside of our car, himself=) or my butt! After seeing the pictures of me I feel inspired to continue running.  It was hilarious looking at his pictures.  He seems to like taking them though. 

Jersey Valley

Today was fun.  Felt like fall.  My favorite season.  Coffee drinking, sweatshirt wearing and picture taking kind of a day.  Austin and I went to Jersey Valley in Westby.

Then after we picked up Riley we went for a walk across Lytle's Bridge.
