This week is not too exciting though. We have nothing going on which is fine. Lots of time for reading books. For me, it's Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich and for Rex, it's everything on the shelf.

Ticket for One
I had a nice weekend. It was Bunco with the girls on Friday night and then I went to the movies to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Sunday. Rob was going to go with me but I did not feel comfortable leaving Rex with a babysitter so Rob stayed with Rex while I went to watch the movie. Yes, I was a total nerd and went to see a Harry Potter movie by myself. Laugh all you want because I don't really care. Sometimes you just do what you have to do.

Back to Normal
Rex is all better now. His fever was gone by Wednesday morning and he was about 90% that day. He still had a little less energy than usual but Thursday he was running at a full 100%. Here is some video from yesterday when he was back at it again. In the first one, he was playing with my cup and thought the sound the straw made was so funny. In the second one, he crawls like a baby instead of his usual belly-on-the-ground crawl. At the end, he tries to stand up but gets a little stuck.

Milestones
We've had some big milestones recently. First of all, a happy belated birthday to my husband who turned 40 yesterday! We had a party for him last Friday night and spent most of last week and even the previous weekend prepping for that. We have a room that we call the "Bike Shop" because it's where we keep our 4 bikes but really it is a 3-season room just off the garage. Besides the bikes, it has Rex's strollers and some crap. Last Sunday we decided to clean it all out and paint it and make it the party room it was destined to be.

Unfortunately, I was so busy playing with Rex and keeping an eye on all the food to keep that table full and yummy-looking that I forgot to take even one picture. I also had set the oven on fire about 45 minutes before the party was supposed to start so my mind was pretty well fried by party time. Rob had to spray the oven down with the extinguisher but we got it all cleaned before everyone arrived. Nobody got any bacon-wrapped lil' smokies (the cause of the fire) or spinach dip (which was supposed to go in after the cholesterol-on-a-stick snacks) but there was still plenty of food. We had a good time and I think everyone else did too. His actual birthday last night was pretty mellow- we had pizza at home. Our families chipped in to get him a new driver and fairway wood for his birthday which he received last weekend so he didn't even have any presents to unwrap. Again, I forgot to take any photos but I did get this one this morning- this is all that was left of the birthday festivities.
Our next big milestone started Sunday morning when we woke to find that Rex was one sick little guy. He's been running a fever since then and had some tummy troubles Saturday and Sunday night. This is the main reason why Rob's birthday yesterday was so lame (sorry honey). We took him to the doctor yesterday and got him all checked out which included a very unpleasant blood sample. See bandaged arm below.
We were there for a while and he has a virus that just has to do its thing and get out of his system. He's a little crabby but I think he is doing pretty well considering what all he is dealing with. I miss this guy who gets into everything and can't wait for his return!
