The Hills 5-21-08

The last few days Justin woke up during the night and was more clingy, crabby than normal. I was afraid it was his ears again since it's been 2 weeks since our trip to the ER. I made him an appointment for 2:30pm yesterday. Rob got a call from daycare at about 11am that he was running and ran right into the corner of the shelf....you will see the results in the pics below! Anyways, we took him to Dr. Adams and he said that his ear is NOT infected - yeah!!! He got a clean bill of health. He also said that if you take him to the ER, they will most likely give him antibiotics everytime - whether he needs them or not. So I am going to be more careful and try to just take him to Dr. Adams if he seems sick. It was good though, becuase he was able to look at the bump too and was not the least bit concerned. He said that it won't be the last! He has 3 kids and he said that by the 3rd one, if they get hurt there better be blood or he's not concerned :)

We (read:Rob) also got his play area finished last night - I love it! I came up with the idea, but got really frustrated after the rotatiller kicked my butt and the ground was so lumpy and crappy. I quit and was ready to call a "landscaper" who would do it cheap! Rob said no that he would do it and I am glad - it didn't take him too long and it looks great! We got rubber safety playground mulch for it - that stuff is great! It feels like you're walking on packing peanuts. It does smell bad, but I am sure it will off-gas after not too long!

In other good news - Katie and I have FREE Tim McGraw tickets for this Saturday in Tinley Park! A lady Rob works with won them on the radio and can't go....score! Rob and I were going to go to BR for the weekend, but plans have changed so now I am going to the concert. I can't wait! Katie and I had a lot of fun at the BP/RA/CW concert, so I am sure we'll have a lot of fun here - it's outdoors and it's supposed to be nice out!

Have a great week!

Here are a few pics!
