Breakfast or lunch?

Audrey hasn't had a very happy couple of days lately. She had a temperature on Thursday (ranging from 100 - 102 degrees) that kept us home from the North American Christian Convention with Andy and Erica. Yesterday the fever was gone, but she was just cranky. She was whiny and cried and I think needed to sleep more during the day than she actually did. I'm hoping that it's just some more teeth coming in!

Regardless of her mood, we went to Milford yesterday to hang out with Andy, Erica, Levi, Papa, and Weyla. Levi's almost exactly 2 months older than Aud is, but she's actually taller! (Only by a teeny bit, but that counts!) Conner enjoyed playing with his cousin; he was disappointed that we didn't go Thursday night, because the kids were all going to play together while we were at the service.









Both Audrey and Conner fell asleep on the way home, so we made a side trip down to New Richmond and checked about the possibility of fireworks. After finding out that they were scheduled for 9:30 last night, we came home to relax for a couple of hours before heading back down to the river to watch.
Conner enjoyed the fireworks, but he probably was one of the very few that was down in New Richmond to watch them that felt that way. It was like this:

Boom.
Pause.

Pause.

Pause.

Pause.

Boom.

Repeat that for about 25 - 30 minutes, and you get the idea. Not good at all. Oh well! We had a good time just hanging out - got ice cream and cotton candy. The fireworks also started at least half an hour late, so it was past 10:30 by the time we got to the car and heading home. Probably not the best idea for a little girl who hadn't been feeling good all day!



















Which leads us to the night. . . I woke up around 12:00 to both kids crying. I got Audrey out of her bed, then went to see what was up with Conner. He was lying on the floor underneath a pillow - I'm not sure how he ended up down there! I don't think he fell out because of his position, but I can't imagine him climbing out of bed to sleep on the floor. Regardless, I got him back in bed, then Audrey and I went into his room (Conner was sleeping in the guest room) and laid down in bed. We both slept restlessly until around 3:00, when she woke up crying... and wouldn't stop. I brought her downstairs to get her a drink (and a cracker, which she didn't want), then she passed out while we were lying on the couch. Around 4:00 I got her back in bed.
.
I'm not sure what time Conner got up this morning (I think it was pretty late) but I didn't get out of bed this morning until 10:45, and Audrey was still sleeping! She slept until 11:45. Crazy! So now it's 2:00, she's taking her first nap of the day, we had a little breakfast and no lunch, and the whole day is totally out of whack.
