Party Recap & More

Okay, now there is something wrong with my computer. I haven't been on it at all since I posted Will's birthday stuff last week. I don't know what the problem is; it just keeps shutting itself off. At work, I've been pretty busy, so I haven't had much time to blog. But, I didn't want you all to think I'd fallen off the face of the earth, so here I am.

So much has happened in the last week!! I am almost fully recovered from my illness; I'm still coughing a little. Will is still coughing, too. Hopefully we will both be completely back to normal soon.

Ah, where to begin? Will's birthday party was on Saturday at 3:00. I got up about 9:00 and to finish cleaning my house before my parents arrived. Everything was going quite swimmingly! I got ready at noon in time to pick up the balloons at 1:00 from the flower shop where I used to work. Unfortunately, this weekend also happened to be prom and Mother's Day...very busy times for a flower shop. So, my balloons weren't quite ready. That was fine. I decided to grab a quick bite at Sonic before heading up to the church to decorate the cake and fellowship hall (where we had the party). While I was waiting my turn to get back on to the street from the Sonic parking lot, I started having a coughing attack. You know, one of those where your eyes are streaming and you can barely breathe. Those always seem to happen to me during communion. Anyway, that was the worst part of the day. I stressed out a little about decorating the cake, but really, it was great. Will seemed to have a great time and that is all that matters! Lots of people who love him were able to make it to the party and he got some really nice presents. I will post pictures as soon as I can figure out my computer's problem or get to Scott's office. Whichever comes first! He didn't seem to keen on the cake and ice cream. I thought he would love them, but he had a very funny look on his face when we gave it to him. I think he would have really liked the ice cream if it wasn't so darn cold :)

After the party, we started watching LOST. It is my dad's favorite show and he got the whole first season on DVD for Christmas. He brought it for us to borrow and we ended up watching half of the season before my parents even left on Monday morning. That show is so awesome. We have since finished watching all of the episodes. I have soooo many questions! And I am so sad that I will have to wait until December to find out what happens in season 2. Maybe it won't be that long.

Sunday was of course, Mother's Day. It was a wonderful first Mother's Day! I was able to spend it with Scott, Will, and my parents. Perfect! My parents gave me a beautiful corsage to wear to church and a custom-made bath towel. Scott and Will gave me two shirts from Old Navy, a new TV antenna (so I can pick up stations in my living room now!!), and a gift certificate for a massage!! I am so blessed! I cannot wait to use that massage. Now the problem is finding a time when I can go and get it done. It seems like we are booked from now until eternity. It was a wonderful day.

Will also had his one year check up and shots on Monday. Five shots! Poor guy. He did really well, though. He was fine up until about 7:00pm that night and then it was obvious that he wanted to go to sleep. He ended up sleeping until about 5:00 am and Scott gave him some milk and changed him at that point before putting him back to bed. He did not wake up again until Scott WOKE him up at 1:00 pm on Tuesday afternoon!!!! Shots just wipe him out. He's been fine since then, though. He is such a good kid.

Yesterday, Will's new car seat came by UPS. How exciting! No more infant carrier. He is waayy to heavy for that thing! He can actually stay in it for one more pound, but seriously, I'm surprised my arm hasn't broken off from carrying him around. He still has to face backward for a while, but that's okay. This car seat will hold him up to 80 pounds. I think I weighed 80 pounds when I was in the 5th or 6th grade. Ha! Anyway, I was excited to see it sitting on my front porch when I got home (cleverly hidden with my doormat by the UPS man, by the way).

Pictures to come!
