If it's not one thing, it's another!

Life at the Dickerson household has been quite chaotic lately. Our air conditioner decided it wanted to stop working on Thursday the 11th. Thankfully, it wasn't too bad outside and our house is equipped with a whole house fan, which works wonders! Well, unfortunately, we weren't able to get our new system installed until Friday the 19th, which wouldn't have been hateful if it wasn't for my allergies and asthma. I had a lot of running to do on Thursday, which was one of the hotter days and apparently closed up the house at the right time because it stayed a comfortable 75 most of the day. Friday, I took the kids the my in laws, where they stayed until Saturday evening. We all ended up spending the night there. They started to install our new HVAC system (we replaced all of it since it was original to the house) a little after 2pm. They finally finished at 12:40am on Saturday. I am very thankful they were staying until it was done! We now have a very comfy house again!

Saturday, Andy and I got to do something we have not done since well before the munchkins were born. We got to go out to eat ALL BY OURSELVES!!!! Now, we are not big on going out to eat, but I must say, it was a very nice and much needed treat! We also stopped at a second hand store and bought the munchkins some extra swimsuits since our pool is now a very nice temperature and we have been getting in it alot. They had all of their swimwear 50% off. We purchases Colton 4 suits, Nora 3 suits, and a life jacket, and it was under $15! Can't beat that!

Both of the munchkins had been a little fussy and not themselves the last few days. At first we thought it was from being without the a/c, not sleeping well in the heat, and then also being at my in laws and just off schedule. Well, last night Colton didn't really eat dinner and was very clingy. The boy normally doesn't sit still, so I knew he wasn't feeling well and he was running a low fever. Then Nora was really whiny. So I decided after they got up this morning and weren't acting right or eating well that I should take them to the Dr.'s. Turns out Nora has a double ear infection and Colton's left ear is infected. I am hoping after their doses of medicine today, I might finally get a good night's sleep again! Keeping my fingers crossed!
