Not that anyone really cares but.......

we just moved this past weekend so the last couple weeks have been filled with packing and now I am in the midst of unpacking. That is my excuse for sucking at blogging. I still haven't found my camera yet but when I do I'll post pics of the boys 5th or 6th day of school. That's right..I didn't take a single picture on their first day (gasp!). I packed my camera somewhere really clever so I would have easy access and now I can't remember where exactly that is....Sorry for sucking and hopefully I'll find my mind somewhere amid all these boxes......

8 YEARS

Today John and I celebrate our 8 year anniversary. I can't believe how quickly the time has flown but at the same time I can't really remember what my life was like before John was in it. It seems like we have been together for forever!

I wish I had pictures from our wedding on this computer but I don't so here we are 8 years later..

It's out!!

On Friday, an ear, nose, and throat doctor who is a friend of my dad's business partner, was kind enough to squeeze Tate in. We never had to wait and they started working on him right away. His nose was too swollen to see anything so they shoved these cotton things up his nose to numb it and take the swelling down. They had to be in his nose for 10 min before they could do anything. Tate loved it. He didn't even try and take them out (uh...scary). Then they began their search. All the way up his left nostril they found it. A chunk of my makeup sponge. He had ripped or bit part of it off and crammed it up his nose. Where it sat. For a week. Gross.
Then they took a small camera and put it up the other side of his nose to make sure there was nothing in that side. It was clear. And the stink is finally gone...

Tater and his stinky nose

Tate is at the age where everything he touches goes in his mouth... and his ears and nose. We have caught him trying to shove various objects up his nose and he has been known to walk around with q-tips or pencils sticking out of his ears (not good, I know). Anyways, this past weekend he started clawing at the right side of his nose. He scratched it all up till it was bleeding. Then he started sneezing a ton. Finally, on Sunday, it dawned on me that he probably had something up his nose we hadn't caught. I take him to 2 quick cares, both closed (yes, it was Sunday, I'm going to hell, I was headed there anyways). Monday I took him back to a quick care. I waited 3 hours and the dr. totally blew me off. He said if something were up there it would smell. He said the baby had a cold and sent me on my way. We still thought it was something more than a cold and yesterday his nose started to smell. Today it reeked. I took him back and while we were in the waiting room Tate shoved a piece of a pretzel stick up his nose. It took almost a half hour to get it out. Seriously? What is the deal with this kid.?! 17 (or 2) hours later we saw the dr. and he didn't have the tools to get it out or to even see it so now we have to go to a ear, nose, and throat dr. We are guessing it is a pencil eraser because John caught him with a pencil and the eraser was missing. So until we see another dr. and figure out what is up his nose, I am stuck with a stinky kid. Anyone want to babysit?
