Some days are just better than others. Dean has been taking Caleb to school in the mornings and that has been so nice, but I still end up getting sick in the morning despite my staying home. I guess its good I’m not getting sick while walking him to school! Yesterday Dean had to come home around the time we have to pick Caleb up from school to get our car(he carpools and his ride was leaving early so he was coming to get our car so he had a way home) so I convinced him to go get Caleb for me so I could put Bo down for a nap more easily. So yesterday I managed to not have to go to the school at all….oh so nice! On top of that Bo slept through the night last night!
I should be nice and rested today right? Nope, I woke up feeling like I hadnt slept at all and have been sick most of the morning. I wish I could figure out why some days I feel worse than others but theres no way to so I sit here praying Bo takes a nap this morning, yesterday he only took an afternoon nap. We’ll see what happens. I feel yucky and just want to crawl back into bed….with any luck he’ll nap and I can shower then take some time to rest…at least I’m praying it goes that way!!
So we’ve decided we cant afford to do a big deal birthday party for Bo so we’re just doing immediate family and maybe a few friends, which is sad because for Caleb’s first birthday we had a huge deal party with everyone, including all extended aunts/uncles and so on. Bo’s birthday will always be harder because its so near the holidays and we like to go visit Ohio for Thanksgiving so my goal is every year to do his birthday early in November so it’s away from the holidays and so I can be done with it and then get into the holiday mindset. I had found a blues clues pan on clearance awhile ago so I got it and found some 1st birthday stuff w/ blue on them so that is our theme. Since Caleb will need to dress up for Halloween at school I have been trying to figure out what to dress him up as. So while searching on Ebay and winning Bo a Blue’s clues costume, I got the smart idea to make Bo Blue and Caleb can be Steve or Joe. But apparently the steve type shirts on ebay are going for a lot so I have to see if we can afford to do that or not. Bo’s outfit should be here in about a week! So the plan is to have him wear it for Halloween and then he can sport it for his blues clues birthday party, well not really party but small get together is more like it. I was thinking it would be hard to do a Nov. party but now I think if I use whatever Bo’s halloween costume is as the theme for his birthday it will be cool. Get to use his costume for more than just Halloween thus making me feel like the money was well spent since I’m not big into Halloween. So I hope I can find a steve/joe outfit for Caleb reasonably. Let me know if you have any ideas!!
