On Sunday we went to Sunday School and I taught Avery's class again. We left after that because we were meeting my parents for lunch at Cracker Barrel. We had a good time then came home for naps.
Monday was my only day that I could use Jennifer to keep the kids, so I planned for them to go. I also wanted to get Avery's last shot at our health department. After waiting an hour of my precious "day off" time, I was told that Avery couldn't get the shot because live vaccines must be given together or two months apart. This is how Sam felt about the situation.
I hustled the kids to Jennifer's to salvage some of my day. I called the pediatrician's office to see how things had gotten mixed up, and they said the vaccine Avery needed wasn't live. They had a few in, so I picked Avery and Sam up early and we went to get her shot. My last free day was kind of a bust. Our new rug came, and I was the only one sad that we had to wait until Thursday for the pad to come.
Tuesday and Wednesday were spent hanging out at home and enjoying the nice temperatures we were having.
Ned played golf Wednesday afternoon, so the kids and I enjoyed dinner outside.
Ned put the kids to bed, and Sam was crying when I left to run and crying when I came back. I finally had to rock him a long time to get him to settle down, then he fussed off and on for a long time. I decided then that I would take him to the doctor the next day because he had been fussy for awhile and pulling on his ear.
Avery went to work with Ned while I took Sam to the doctor. He of course checked out just fine, which was good, so we hurried home to pick up Avery and have lunch. After they napped we headed to the fair in the county I grew up in. They had a lot of exotic animals including monkeys, a baboon, tiger, a kangaroo, and more. The camels made me nervous.
Sam liked the birds that would not quit yelling.
Avery decided she only wanted to ride the carousel because it was the only thing I could ride with her. Then, she wouldn't get on a horse.
By the second time though, she was ready. And there was a 3rd time also.
The weather was perfect for the fair. We had a good dinner, walked around some more, then snacked on mini donuts and fried Oreos. After we got home and got the kids to bed, Ned and I tackled getting the rug and pad down. It was a job but well worth it after more than a year with nothing.
The kids and I went to the grocery store Friday morning to get that task out of the way, then we enjoyed our last week day home. That night, Mimi kept the kids so that Ned and I could go back to the fair to see Florida-Georgia Line. We were very worried about the crowds at my small fair, but we ended up parking with no trouble. We visited with our friends from Emporia and ate once we got there. Fried mac and cheese was my choice for the night. When the show finally started, we stood a good distance away with Michael and Kristen and mainly listened and talked. I had no need to get in the crowd for the sake of seeing them better. We took our fried Oreos to go so that we could get out before the crowd.
Saturday morning I worked getting ready for my Shrimp and Grits party, and Ned had 2 back to back fire calls. The party went well that afternoon, and it was so fun having all those precious clothes in my house. After everyone left we had dinner at the Mexican restaurant before getting the kids to bed. Ned and I were both asleep early.
