Sick

Charles is sick. Poor little guy started running a fever on Friday at 10 am and has had up and down fevers with chills through yesterday. Yesterday he started crying when he tried to eat or drink anything. He is also fighting us with medicine and he usually takes medicine really well. It looks like we will be going to the doctor tomorrow. I think he might have a bad throat infection. I feel bad about the amount of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and PBS cartoons we have watched this weekend. Charles just wants to lay around, be held, and watch his shows.

Balloons Everywhere

We went to the Hot Air Balloon Classic yesterday afternoon. Charles really enjoyed watching the balloons being blown up and flying. He was not a fan of the one that was right in front of us. He didn't like fire or the loud sound up close.

Goals for August

1. Go to the National Balloon Classic in Indianola, Iowa. I have wanted to go since the summer of 2011, but because I was 38 weeks or so my husband refused to take me 3 hours away for some reason. Last year it was in the middle of band camp.
2. Make Charles' birthday cake.
3. Go to the Iowa State Fair.
4. Continue to work on letters with Charles.
5. Enjoy time with family and friends.
6. Read really good books.
7. Try ice painting because it sounds fun. This idea came from a the blogivers along with the idea to make a list:).
