Saturday Night Guests

Our little guests arrived on Saturday afternoon around 1:30 and shortly after we went to town with Pop. While Pop was taking care of his business I noticed it was time for Alex and Eli's afternoon snack, off we went to Sonic to get some yummy ice cream. They really loved it, when we got home they had strawberries and blueberries too. The boys napped and when they woke up we noticed that little Eli was a little bit warm, he was definately running fever, we gave him meds and he was better in no time. Those darn ears are giving the boys trouble again, despite them being on antibiotics and having ear drops several times a day to keep their ears clear and draining. The tubes sometimes do get blocked and it will cause problems. I cooked a little smothered chicken and gravy with carrots and the boys really enjoyed it all, they ate a big bowl of it. Granny came over to visit for a few hours and played with the boys and ate supper with us too. After playing for a while we put the boys down to bed and they were asleep in no time. Later in the night, around 11:45 Eli woke up and he was burning up again, Pop and Alexa gave him more meds and we put a cool cloth on his head to draw out the heat, he was feeling so bad, he drifted in and out of sleep for until around 1AM when the fever broke and he went down for the night. Alex also woke up in the middle of all that but only because he needed his pacifier. The boys woke up around 6:15 for and they played til 7 when they ate their oatmeal and mashed banana. Eli didn't run fever again before leaving. Their daddy came over to see them before leaving to go see some goats with Kip. Around 10 they left with their mom to go home. Even though little Eli wasn't feeling up to par he was still one happy little boy. Alex had us laughing with his 'moooo' imitation and pointing at everything. Makes us sad every time the boys leave us though... til next time, we're so glad there are next times in store for us!
