Weekend Recap

Rain, Rain Go Away! That has been our anthem for the last 7 days. Seriously...this is what we've been dealing with: 

Yea...we are that tiny spec in the middle of all the orange and yellow...good times

I really tried to think of exciting things to blog about last week, but there is really only so many ways you can try and make tummy time and Mickey Mouse Club House exciting before you realize it's just not. It was kind of fun for the first day or so. The only weather we have out here is sunny or rainy, so when it does rain I like to pretend like its cold outside, bundle up indoors, and make something cheesy/creamy/soupy in the crockpot. But by day three we all had a serious case of cabin fever. Johnathon and I were sick of eating stew and Hadley decided she was completely over all her toys and was constantly staring at me with a very clear message..."Outside. Now!"

We did eventually venture outside, and Hadley was a little unsure about this "rain" thing we kept speaking of:

She would touch the water then pull her hand back really fast!

After inspecting the rain water, Hadley opted to watch the rain from a safe and dry position on the back porch.

Sadly the rain kept up all week, and even the weekend was overcast and humid. We didn't let that keep us indoors all weekend though. We eventually made it out to ocean side to explore the reef at low tide.

Hadley woke up really early from her nap Saturday afternoon, and was SUPER cranky. I didn't think much of it because that usually happens when she doesn't nap well, but she woke up the next morning with super red, puffy eyes and a low grade fever. She never had any other symptom except a low grade fever and crankiness for most of the weekend which thankfully went away Monday morning. I kept waiting to see a little tooth pop out, but so far I can't blame it on teething! So Hadley's mystery illness coupled with bad weather led to a pretty low key weekend in the McClellan household. There was lots of cuddling and watching of Sofia the First in our bed:

At least baby girl was feeling well enough on Monday to pose for some pics and to play on her play mat!

Hope y'all had a great weekend, and a good Monday! 

P.S.- 17 days until my Saturday's are once again filled with glorious football...college football! This is TCU's year I can feel it! GO FROGS!!
