The Weekend in Review

Hmmm...no words for this one!

Luke still loves to eat!

The weekend went by in a blur, as most weekends do.  Friday night was pretty rough as neither kids slept well.  Luke was up numerous times because he was scared.  When I asked him what he was scared of he pointed to the foot board.  We think it casts a weird shadow that is scary to him when he wakes up.  Katherine was up more than normal to eat.  She seems to be going through another growth spurt!

Saturday morning Paul took Luke to the walk-in clinic at the pediatrician's office.  He has had a little rash around his mouth off and on for several weeks.  It does not bother him so we really did not think much of it.  We finally decided it should be looked at.  I was fairly certain it was not contagious since no one else had gotten it.  Turns out it is a form of eczema.  Luke has had problems with mild eczema since he was younger.  The doctor said it is not contagious and really nothing to worry about.  She did say it could be triggered from a new food in his diet.  She gave us some sample prescription ointment for it as well as his arms.  It seems to be improving already.

Around lunch we went to the Troutts.  Paul wanted to help his dad with some of the demo on the kitchen.  Paul loves to do things like that. While he and Pop were doing that Paula and the kids and I played.  Katherine slept a lot of the time and Luke kept us busy running around.  He loves to be at the farm!  We also happened to be the beneficiary of the kitchen reno again.  We brought the built in work space/ cabinets home with us.  We hope we are able to use them in our bonus room to make an office area.  They just need a fresh coat of paint and they will be great!  Saturday night we enjoyed steaks on the grill.

Sunday, Paul and Luke went to church.  Katherine and I have not yet made it to church.  Our church recently went to a new schedule.  The 9:45 service is the traditional one which we prefer.  Paul said it is absolutely packed.  He has to park very far away and has ended up sitting near the top of the balcony.  Since we will be taking Katherine in to worship with us when we do go I am kind of leary of that.  Attendance may slow a little once the new schedule wears off.  That afternoon we went to Mom's.  She is having new carpet put down in the den.  It has been close to 20 years so I think it is time!  Paul pulled up the old carpet and pad.  Katherine, Luke and I stayed out of the way of all the work.
