It's Always Sunny in McNeill Land...

Thursday was a busy day just because I had to get the house work done and ready to head out of town on Friday. The kids helped a ton...not (ha, not...don't get a lot of good "nots" these days huh?) I had emailed Crayola and complained about those horrible "spill resistant" bubbles I bought during Easter. They replied with 2 $8 coupons for anything Crayola!! Woohhooo...bought some new crayons, markers, finger paints, and chalk!

Thursday night Logan had a game about an hour away...geez. Anyway, we won!! Logan had a pretty good game but the play of the game went to his friend Trey who hit a solid home run. It was exciting!!

Friday morning my mom came into town and watched the kids while I went up and worked on the school. We got the cafeteria painted and all the rubber baseboards taken off, not too shabby for an afternoon!! When we were done we went home, ate lunch and headed to the lake...and that's where the "fun" began.

Got there and settled in, next thing we know there's a knock at the door and it's Aunt Connie and Uncle Mo!!! Of course the kids are excited...maybe a little too excited. Cody gets wrapped up in the chair he was sitting in, falls over, hits his head on the coffee table and proceeds to scream like I've never seen. Screaming, crying, tears and then I hear someone say, "is that blood?" HOLY TOLEDO, yes it was blood and lots of it. Swooped up Cody, either my mom or Aunt Connie did actually, and I sprayed him down with the water sprayer in the sink. Just kept coming out redder and redder. Soaked several towels in a minute period and decided to take him to the ER. Of course there isn't any urgent cares around so we went to the ER. By the time we got there the bleeding had stopped thank goodness and he didn't appear to be trying to pass out or anything crazy. They made us stay for examination though. Uncle Mo came and picked up Aunt Connie, Grammy, Logan and Rylee (thank goodness for Uncle Mo, he stayed back at the lake house and cleaned up blood, turned off the hard boiled eggs, worked on our trailer because the slides weren't working) Cody and I hung out, bought him some candy for being so good and then we see Logan. He has two ninja figures so that gave Cody and I something to play with while we waited another hour. FINALLY, we got called back and they cleaned him up. The nurse was awesome, he kept telling Cody he was tough. Cody showed him his muscles and said that he was tough. The nurse did a "toughness test" and Cody failed!!! He had Cody raise his arms up and then he surprised tickled him. :0) Made a boy and mom smile. Then the doctor came in...that made no one smile. 3 staples were needed to fix the cut. Which in turn meant 3 people and myself to hold down a screaming, kicking, wiggling, crying, screaming some more 4 year old. Geez, that kid is strong!!! Who's have thought this kiddo could be so tough

And here they are...there is one in the middle but you can't see because of the blood...yum.

He wanted me to get another shot...

So after all the drama Aunt Connie and Uncle Mo went and bought everyone ice cream to help relax. Rylee enjoyed her ice cream sandwich more than anyone else I think...and a little of Logan's bar too.

Saturday morning we woke up and went to Wal-Mart to get Cody's prescription filled. Oh hey, did I tell you they think Rylee has Lyme Disease?? Awesome huh? A week and a half ago Rylee got bit by the BIGGEST tick I've ever seen. It was really, really attached and we had a really hard time getting it out...and of course we were at ball so we didn't have any good tools. Got the body off and then put some hand sanitizer on it (let me tell you, Rylee might be tougher than Cody, that little thing fought 7 moms on the ball team while we were working on her! Only one refused to help and bought her candy after the end...said she wanted Rylee to still like her!) Anyway, Tuesday night before we came back home from the funeral I took her into the doctor because she had a fever and a horrible rash. They didn't do blood work to find out for sure, but they are pretty confident, either way they gave her the only antibiotic she can take without IV fluids.

Back to Saturday...went to Wal-Mart and had a good time with Aunt Connie and Grammy while Mo and Justin fished. Came back and had lunch. Cody can't get his head wet so we weren't sure what we were going to do but decided to try it out. He did so good with not being able to get wet, really really proud.

Sunday morning Aunt Connie and Mo left and we went back to the water. Beautiful day. Rylee's getting so much better already, pretty sure she'll be jumping in at the end of the summer!

And of course Logan, he always has fun... Justin wanted to give the boat a good cleaning so he worked on it for awhile.

Cody played and took several breaks. We found this chair in the bar and it's awesome...gonna have to find some more. He really enjoyed it!

And this is Rylee's new favorite game. She just giggled and giggled and would throw herself back. Good times!!

Cody and Grammy played some ball and we built lots of sandcastles on the beach. Also made friends with 3 new dogs...3 new big dogs. It's funny because Rylee likes big dogs but gets a little nervous with little ones.

Logan finally "got" his handstand.

And that's about it. We packed up and went back to fix dinner. Cody was asleep before we even hit town and Rylee talked the whole way home. When we got home Justin and Logan went fishing, I put everybody else to bed and then snuggled in for some DVR! Ahhhhh...

We have an appointment on Thursday to get the staples out...that should be fun. Hope you guys had a great weekend. Love and miss you all!
