Josh came home around 9 on Friday night. Ella was up around 6:50 on Saturday morning...I was hoping for at least 7! She still has a pretty bad cough. It's mainly at night and then when she first gets up. Then if she starts running around and getting worked up it flares up and she gets to coughing. So when she first got up Saturday there was lots of coughing and I kind of waited a bit to see how she was going to do...and it slowed down...so we made plans for the day. We decided to go to Drumhellers Orchard Apple Festival. We got there probably about 10:45 - it's about 20 minutes north of us. They had live music, all kinds of vendors, bounce house for kids, apple slingshot, and a hayride. We bought tickets for the hayride (but missed the sign that you had to buy a ticket to get a pumpkin - so when we got to the pumpkin patch we just "posed" with the pumpkins!). We'll be going to another festival in October so we'll be sure to get one there. Ella wasn't too disappointed....she had fun just walking around picking them up!
We got lunch there...Ella had a hotdog and some chips, Josh had BBQ chicken, and I had a BBQ sandwich. We sampled the cider and called it a day!
We then went grocery shopping. Then came home for "resting time" for everyone! Ella took a 2 hour nap. Even Josh and I laid down and slept for about an hour! I was so tired from the week getting up with Ella every couple of hours...one day this past week my alarm was set for 5:00....I remember turning it off...and apparently I went right back to sleep! Oops!! I ended up sleeping for an extra 40 minutes....my morning routine went right out the window...I was rushing around to get ready. I made it to work on time....but I was so exhausted all day...I had a few people ask me if I was ok...I think the couple of weeks of 4-5 hours of sleep each night was catching up to me (if you know me - you know that I need 8+ hours to function well!). I am so happy that last week is over!
Last night we got invited to a bonfire/fall party. It was held at one of our friends grandparents house. Ella got to roast a hot dog over a fire (yesterday was hotdog day!)
She got to hit a pinata!
And then she got to collect the goods! A little bit of candy and some toys. She came home with some stick on tattoos - which her Daddy helped her put one on today! On her hand...it's a "sticker."
Then we all posed for some pictures....the girls being cute....the boys being silllllly!
We stayed til 9....past Ella's bedtime...and she was getting cranky...so we headed home....her coughing got bad around 12....and I was up til about 1:30 with her. She stopped and we all were able to sleep for a bit...and she was up at 6:50 again! I thought she might sleep in a little....but no.
Her coughing was bad this morning so we ended up staying home from church. Josh said he didn't want to bring her to nursery with that cough as we'd end up getting called out anyway. So we watched church on the computer!
I did lots of cleaning today....and lots of laundry! We just laid low. Ella took a 3 hour nap. She got some honey cough suppressant tonight, Vicks on her feet, humidifier on, propped up on 2 pillows....here's hoping for a good night!
Ohhhh....Ella really likes Veggie Tales....we were sitting at lunch today and Ella says...."look Mama, Bob is wearing sunglasses."
