As much as I would love to be outside right now, Aidan is napping (next to me on the couch). He's been sick. Again. Or has allergies... one of the two. He has the drippiest, most congested nose yet, and is making this crazy new gurgly growl sound, which sounds like he's getting ready to hock a loogie. Attaboy!
Anyway, bottom line is he's been sleeping horribly... in his crib. Great on the couch, though. After an entire week of interrupted sleep, I'm going to camp out with Aidan on the couch tonight so Chad doesn't pull out his eyelashes tomorrow. Ouch. Let's just say Daddy Pod doesn't do well on little sleep. How on earth we're going to survive Aidan and a baby is beyond me! (no, I'm not pregnant... I'm just sayin'...). : )
So... if Aidan's cold gets any worse, we'll have to cancel his appt. on Monday. I can't believe it, but his MRI is finally here. We're going up to Seattle on Sunday and hanging out with my friend Ande to celebrate our birthdays, and then staying at my mom's. Monday morning we head down to Children's. After he's sedated, his MRI is at 9:30am, and then we have a whole day of cleft team appts. to go over his palate/lip revision surgery. How on earth he's supposed to nap or eat lunch is beyond me!

My new Marimba Ensemble shirts came today (I designed them!)... I'll have Chad take a pic later. They say, "got mallets?" on the back like "got milk?". heehee I have a Marimba concert next week and then 3rd/4th grade the week after. Spring is so busy! One of my 5th grade marimba groups is playing "Get Ready For This" (that techno song played at sports events) and they added dance moves today, including the sprinkler! Gotta love kids. : )

I love Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches. Y-U-M. But why the heck do they make the packaging so noisy and cumbersome to get into? You can't sneak a treat without hubby knowing, and you run the threat of waking up your kid!

Did you know my husband was a cheerleader in college?
You didn't???
Oh yes, he cheered for the Univ. of Washington. We met the summer before I joined the Husky Marching Band. Band geek + Cheerleader = one odd-looking couple on game day. haha So, as my friend Ande pointed out, I really have nothing to worry about when Aidan's 10 feet in the air. Chad's probably the "most reliable catcher" and I'd have to agree. : ) But thanks to everyone for taking my side. It still does freak me out!
Here's my cheerleader, a week after we first met. He was ripped back then! Not that he isn't now, but, well, he's not. He doesn't work out 6 hours a day anymore, so what do you expect?!

Doing some tricks... he's second in line for the "Louie, Louie" surfboard stunt (he was always the tallest), and there he is holding up his partner in a one-armed "cupie" (and looking up her skirt, of course. Because he wasn't concentrating at all on lifting her body weight up on one arm... it was all about looking at those spankies.). : )

me and my piccolo roomates (yes, I lived in the "Picc house") : ) Boy, I miss my super blonde hair!

Those were the days... no Photoshop necessary on those smooth faces!! : ) haha Gotta love my hat hair.

Look Ma, there I am in the big Logo W!! Go Huskies!!!

Wow, this is making me want to post more "Flashback" pics from college!! Maybe next Friday.
------------------------------------------
Ok, time to wake Aidan's little bum up before we have yet another sleepless night!

That post was so fun! beautiful backyard, but better yet were those flashback pictures. YOu are so young though, that flashback was not so long ago...for me...wow, let's not go there. You won't see many flashbacks on my blog. LOL
Great pics...all of them.
I was probably riding my bike past Husky Stadium when that photo was taken...
Those are great pics of you!!!!!
Allie's got the allergies too...gave her some Benadryl last night and she did better though..can Aidan have Benadryl? it's been going around our house for a few weeks now and we're just now getting over it. Hope he gets some sleep(and you too) :)
You guys are too stinking cute... And don't you HATE allergy season??? My Aiden has had nothing but a runny nose, purple circles under his eyes, and drippy green snot for weeks, months it seems! Of course the allergist said " He doesn't have allergies"... I say... uh... Yuh uh
Oh well, Welcome Spring.. and onto Summer where we will complain about the intense Hades heat and humidity here ... Hope you Aidan feels better soon and your appointments go well
Awww... poor pod. I hope he feels better soon and everything goes well Monday. He's got to get back to his happy little self before the big bday!! LOVING the UW pics. Makes me nostalgic for my own college days *sniff* And really, what a hottie couple you guys were - and I'm sure still are *wink*!
Where should I start with my comments?
1. Your backyard looks so inviting! What kind of flowering treee is that in back? Hope you are getting some pictures by it.
2.) Hope Aidan feels better soon, and I really hope Random.org picks you to win some Boogie Wipes :)
3.) I'll be thinking of you on Monday and hope all goes nice and smooth. Can you photo-document the day?
4.) I LOVED your flashback pictures. They are so cute, and it kinda makes me wish I was young and in college again.
Have a great weekend!
Oh Yeah! Men Cheerleaders...totally hot. You can tell Daddy Pod I said so...and PS, do any of us get to work out for 6 hrs a day anymore...or want to ? I am with you on the skinny cow...crumple, crumple...annoying! Hope that Aid feels better so he can make all of his needed appts...
Great post! Love the flashback!
Sorry Aidan is sick! Poor little guff! I hope he sleeps well for you tonight and has time to get all better before his MRI on Monday.
I love Spring as well! It's been so nice to get outside and enjoy some fresh air! :o)
You guys are such cute geeks! Love you mean it! Sorry Aiden hasn't been feeling well. I'm in the throws of allergies right now and it sucks. You might be in for it if you keep letting him sleep on the couch though! He might never want to go back to his crib! Now I am adding skinny cows to my grocery list. I forgot about those yummies!
what a beautiful yard! hope Aiden feels better. :)
