Sawyer's Day with Mama

Since the little whipper snapper is only in pre-school, mama has the perogative of keeping him home with her on Fridays. I asked Sawyer this morning if he wanted to go to school or stay home with me. I was worried for a few seconds because it seemed like he had to put some thought into it. Who would possibly rather go to school than stay home with fun mama!? I thought it was a no brainer. Needless to say, he did decide to stay home... so that made me feel good. We took Bubba to school and walked him to his classroom and then headed back to the house to do a few chores. The goal today was to spend the least amount of time possible at the house because we have no AC. Of course I was supposed to head to LA early this morning for an appt but I cancelled it yesterday because I was pooped. This week had me exhausted. I wanted to stay home and do almost nothing.
Sawyer and I headed to Target to pick out a gift for a birthday party tomorrow...and then I had this brilliant idea. Let's head to our favorite breakfast spot for a breakfast lunch. Sawyer only gets one thing when he goes to 24 Street Cafe....the cinnamon roll. Its the best thing EVER!! I could eat it for every meal. It wasn't the best option for lunch....but
1) He did have a Jamba Juice for breakfast and
2) selfishly I knew I would get his leftovers! So, what the heck.

We raced home (after eating our healthy lunch) to wait for our AC to be worked on. It was definitely warm in the house and at one point we were both sitting on the couch, watching TV and Sawyer mustered all the drama he could find in himself and said, (imagine him whining and throwing himself onto my lap) "I don't have any AIR!" I laughed at him and told him he was going to live. He must have what I call the "polar bear" gene like his father. Unfortunately we didn't get to do much more together after this before it was time to pick up Bubba from school. But I am looking forward to more Fridays together with Tubbs this year before my big boy starts Kindergarten.

Hey Katie..thanks for finding us! How are you? It's been a year and baby is here! Now it's Mollie's turn. I will have to figure out how to add blogs to my site. the boys are so big. We need to get together soon. I don't come up often and when I do it is generally to hide out and relax, but I will call Julie the next time and maybe we can all go to lunch.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
