Longest Week Ever

Last post ended with Owen and myself home Monday and Tuesday with him being sick with a throat infection. Tuesday evening everything was looking good, so Wednesday was back school.

Tuesday night helping Dad

Putting together a bench for the front entrance

Finished and looking good

Wednesday morning I dropped Owen off at school and I went to work. Well, that lasted a couple of hours as school called and Owen had pink eye. Luckily I work so close and within two hours of the call we were home from the Dr's with drops and cuddling on the sofa.
Thursday we stayed home and by Friday everything was looking great. Back to school and work for Friday.

Saturday we went skating. It started off good
but went downhill pretty quick.

You can't tell from this pic but by the afternoon Owen
was covered in hives and quite uncomfortable. 

Saturday night we were up the entire night with him itching and crying in pain. Sunday I took him to the walk in clinic, he was covering head to toe in hives that kept coming and going. We had no idea what was going on but our little guy was suffering from something.
Speaking with the Dr we figured it was the antibiotics he was on for the throat infection from last week. He prescribed some steroids to bring down the reaction and an epi pen to keep on hand, just to be safe. Rob stayed home with him Monday as he was still suffering and by Tuesday he was finally starting to feel better. So, a week and a half later, three separate issues and he is finally back to himself today. We will need to bring him to get tested to confirm any allergy, just to be safe.
Now unfortunately Rob has caught Owens cold and is in need of some TLC.

We woke up to snow both mornings this past weekend,
time to catch some snowflakes

Rob worked hard all weekend on the renovations

and got a lot accomplished. So exciting.

Owen woke up Saturday quite sick so this is
what our weekend looked like

We've been home Monday and Tuesday staying in our
jammies. A short walk to the mailbox today for a surprise

Oma has made Owen's halloween costume and it arrived
in the mail today. Ryder from Paw Patrol. I just need
to finish his helmet this week.

Last weekend was Leanne's Birthday so we all
went downtown to celebrate

We all had a great time over lunch

Smiles

An after lunch walk

May, just planted

October, a summer of growing

My morning oatmeal with the added bonus
of my chocolate pear jam, soooo good

I took a one night art class last month and had a
lot of fun. Definitely need to do it again.

Saturday was Owen's first skating lesson, he was
very excited pre ice

All the little dudes first moments on the ice

Owen in the middle. This was one of the few
moments he was standing, the rest of the time
he insisted on crawling around on his belly.
Rob and I had a good laugh

This little quilt was made by my Mom and we have
found a perfect home for it!

It was the Bolton Fall Fair this past weekend so the three of us decided to check it out! 

I was tempted to bring these guys home, they were
so cute and fluffy

You may remember this train from a month ago, Owen
sure did! It was the same ride as the Ex but a
bit cheaper and it lasted twice as long

Owen insisted on going on by himself but didn't
move from this position

It was pretty cute

And to top off a great time at the fair, chocolate ice cream
and a prize from the games

Sunday was spent wearing jammies all day and playing with
his friends

Tuesday night sunset was quite beautiful

And we got to enjoy it while picking up our new truck

I have been busy in the kitchen this week preserving
some chocolate pear jam

As well as some curry ketchup
