The Adventure Starts Here: Five on Friday 

Even though it was a short week, we still had lots to keep us busy.  Noah had a runny nose and cough all last weekend and then he started complaining that his ear hurt (I can't believe he's now able to actually tell me these things!).  So I took him into the doctor to have his ears checked on Tuesday.  The doctor said that it wasn't an infection (at least it wasn't one yet) and that the pain was probably a result of his congestion.  She suggested trying Mucinex and Benadryl (at night) but wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic in case his ears got worse.  Thankfully I haven't had to use it yet and he's slowly getting better.   Thank goodness because we have a very busy weekend planned with multiple dinners and get togethers with friends.   I'll be sure to give you a full recap next week!  Have a great weekend!


Noah LOVES to help me bake.  This past Christmas, we got him a Santa apron and hat from Target.  He loved wearing it so much that he's been wearing it ever since, even though Christmas is over!  I went looking at Target again, but had no luck.  Instead, we ordered this cute apron from Amazon. Tuesday was Mardi Gras.  While we didn't do anything crazy in order to get some beads, we did eat some pancakes!  I assumed this was a common tradition, but when Chris looked at me like I was crazy, I realized this could be something just my family did! My mom was going to come over and make us some for lunch, but then Noah fell asleep on the way home from the doctor.  So instead, we had pancakes for dinner... yummy! This week, we got together with some friends of ours for a play date.  We met them in our old town and they just bought a house in our new town too!  The little boy is 6 months older than Noah and is now talking up a storm, and in full sentences.  When we got there he immediately said "Noah, come see my playroom".  After playing trains for a while, they played the super fun game of, throw the ball down the hallway, chase after it, and laugh hysterically while running back... and repeat!  I think the best line of the day was when his friend said "I'm having too much fun!". I used to be the mom that brought snacks for Noah whenever we went out.  Then as he got older and didn't need as much in the diaper bag, I started slacking.  Normally it isn't a problem until he sees his friends (who have prepared mommies) snacking on something yummy.  He then all of a sudden becomes the starving kid who has to beg for food.  The other moms are of course kind and share with him, but then I feel bad!  Well, the other day one of my friends had these bagel crisps in her bag and Noah loved them!  Of course I ran out and got a few bags and I am now prepared to feed my starving child ;) I saw this article on Facebook a little while ago and thought it was HILARIOUS!  If I'm being honest, Noah is actually a pretty good eater compared to some of these scenarios.  But #5 (below) definitely happens around here A LOT! I'm also linking up with Darci, April, Christina and Natasha's blogs for their Five on Friday!
