Mayhem Mania: Weekend Wackies

Weekend Wackies

Hmmm. What happened in the the land of Mayhem?

Rehm had his first basketball game. Unfortunately they lost 24-4. Rehm shot once and hit the rim, but alas no basket. I have to say this was the cutest, funniest thing ever! And of course in the craziness to take the whole family to the gym (to workout) and be at the game by 11:00, I forgot the camera and video camera!

Huey, um I mean Michael went to an Aggie basketball game with several of his friends from college. The Aggies won. Whoop. Michael had a kid free 24 hours. And a bunch of college kids got to laugh at the "old guys."

Sunday brought church and work and a fun get together with friends. Since Huey, um I mean Michael was not home, I had to get all of the kids ready and out the door for church. My goal was to leave by 7:45 however it was 8:09 when we pulled out of the driveway. At 7:40 I thought we just needed coats and strapped in seats. How did that take 25 minutes? Well it started with sending the three year old upstairs to get something...

After church I loaded everyone up to go to our friends' house for lunch. Michael met us there. We had a great time and lunch was fabulous - Kat, I really do want that recipe! After lunch Ruby woke with a nasty diaper and threw up all over me. So time to head home after apologizing for exposing everyone to the stomach bug! Sorry!

Ruby is still not feeling well and hasn't kept anything down since 11:00 am. My poor girl. I talked to the pedi - have I mentioned how much I love him? He is the absolute best! He said she should be ok until morning but to call then if she still isn't keeping anything down.

BTW, did you know you can make your own Pedialyte? Kathryn taught me this trick today. And since I'm cheap I'm all for making my own. The recipe is in Baby 411.

I wonder how this week will turn out, I have already canceled my childcare reservation at the gym for tomorrow, bummer. Hopefully I can get Charlotte to dance class. I wonder which kid will start throwing up next? Hmm, I wonder how long the virus lasts? I wonder how many loads of laundry I'll do this week? It should be fun.

Excuse the typos - I did this one handed while holding a sick baby.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm sorry if you saw us today and we got you sick!

Our Cast

This is what happens when two math geeks marry and have four kids!

Jenn
I work part time at my church as an Interim Office Assistant. I am having weight loss surgery on 12/31/18 (gastric sleeve). I love to quilt, sew, craft, blog and read. Sometimes I love to cook, sometimes I hate it. I hate doing laundry and dishes. I love a good novel, but am not much of a non-fiction or literature reader . I love animals and rescue. In addition to our four two-legged kids, we also have three four-legged kids. Having a foster dog or two is not that unusual for us as I am a sucker for an animal in need. I love my kids and being a mom, except for when I want to run away from it all. In my next life I would like a clean house.

Michael
Our crazy leader. He loves all things Texas A&M (whoop!), college football, good beer, coaching kids sports, and his family. He even loves his wife enough to put up with all her crazy ideas, pets, and foster pets.

Sam-I-Am
Our firstborn Samuel Frank who died at birth in 1999. He was our gorgeous, curly, red-headed baby boy. He may not be with us on earth but he is still a big part of our family. We miss every day and love him very much.

Le President
Our oldest son Rehm. He is my walking encyclopedia. He loves politics, band, scouts, friends, school, learning, debating, leadership, and being right about everything, even when he's not. We affectionately call him Captain Oblivious because if there is something happening that he is not the center of he is completely clueless. He is currently waiting for college acceptances and planning the next step in his life. He only likes to read non-fiction, which I really don't understand.

Latte
Our oldest daughter. She is the most empathetic girl I know. She loves school, dancing, performing, and all things social. She is loud and dramatic, mostly in a good way. She is rocking her first year of high school and learning to drive. She hates riding long distances in the car. She is as stubborn as her mother, especially when dealing with her mother.

Rubylicious
Our feisty second daughter. She is very dramatic. Her world is one of extremes. There is never any doubt about how Ruby feels about something or someone. She loves cheerleading at her middle school, tumbling, reading, friends, arts and crafts, making a mess, and her pets.

Dirt
Our cautious third daughter. She is very sensitive and likes to do things in her own way and own time. She loves to play sports. She is currently playing softball with an American Freedom Team and basketball at her middle school. She dislikes change of any kind for any reason.
