Labor Day

Matt and I were so excited to join the Brandes family up at Hannah's place for Labor Day. We were going up on Thursday night, so we'd have the place to ourselves until everyone else started arriving Friday afternoon and evening. Thursday morning I woke up ready for a busy day of packing, packing, packing! Case woke up with a temp of 102 :( poor little guy! This is what he looked like...
So he slept a lot during the day and was just tired and cuddly. Tylenol really seemed to help so we still took off for the cabin as planned. About 30 minutes into the drive, Case started crying pretty hard and all of a sudden he threw up all over! We stopped at a gas station and cleaned him up and he seemed a lot better. At dinner he was completely himself, but when we got to Hannah's he was so out of it! He just snuggled up with us on the recliner and watched Elf. His temp went up to 103 when we went to bed but thankfully he was fine the next day! He took a morning nap which he never does but then he was all better! So much better that he was no where near tired when bedtime rolled around. We figured out of about a 36 hour period, he slept about 30 hours.
Ughhhh... So Friday night was the worst night I have EVER had with either child. Case and I stayed up until 3:15am!! He fell asleep with Matty for about an hour at that point and then woke back up and finally slept from 530am until 830am! Ugh, it was so miserable! I was completely shocked that during that day, besides some puffy eyes he was completely himself. He crashed that night but Sunday night wasn't a whole lot better. It's a very humbling thing when your child keeps up a cabin full of about 15 people!!
So sleeping was miserable, but other than that we had a blast!! Hannah's family, her sisters friends, extended family and family friends were all up there. We ate the best food ever, and they barely let us lift a finger! I got in trouble when I started washing dishes after breakfast one morning! Case had constant playmates and he loved every minute of the attention. Sadie was held all day long and couldn't have been happier! This was seriously how she spent her whole weekend.

Case got to go fishing with his new friend, Kiersten. Or as he called her, it! He kept saying, "Where'd it go?" any time that she wasn't around! He loved her!

He also had a great time just playing in the water

and he LOVED the boat. The boat rides were the best, but he was perfectly content just to sit in the boat. I love this shot of him on the deck!
I miss it already!
