Sad times

So we just got done with our first spring break in our married lives. It totally sucked! Ok not totally, just a lot. Monday we got some errands done and went to a friends BBQ. Tuesday we took Hunter to a place that has a bunch of blow up toys...slides, obstacle courses etc. I (spencer) wasn't feeling great that morning but we had fun with Hunter. While I was jumping around on a big blowup basketball court I must have landed on the camera, because it's broken! We're pretty sad and ticked. We sent it to the manufacturer to see what it will cost to fix, so we hope it's not too bad or we'll just buy a new one. So that means fewer pictures until that situation is cleared up.

Then when we got home I crashed, and spent the next 48 hours incapacitated on the recliner. I had some flu like symptoms and a sore throat that later pressurized my whole head until I actually wanted it to explode. I still have a bad cough and sore throat and congestion, but I don't have any insurance yet(I know, it's bad, mostly because I've been too busy/lazy; I'm working on it now, though). I'm hoping it clears up, but it's not looking good. Anyway, I got back on my feet Thursday afternoon, not feeling great, but lots better. Then friday Heather goes down and she peaked Sunday and couldn't go to church. So now we're both still sick, I'm back at school, and we're pretty pissed off that we were robbed of our spring break. Now we just have to hold our breath for 2 more months until summer! Hunter has something too, and today he went to the doc and she said it's an ear infection in both ears. We're a happy bunch at the Lukes right now! So sorry, don't expect any pics for a while, and if you call and we yell, don't take it personally. Hope ya'lls spring is goin better!

Mrs. Lundgreen said...: I think I would enjoy a spring break, but I'd want to be able to go somewhere because it's still too cold here to enjoy it. And we'd have to spend money that we don't have, but could have more of if we stayed home for spring break and worked instead. I do like having school get out in April though...it's a toss up. I'm sorry you guys were/are so sick! Happens to the best of us and usually at the worst times!:); 2:22 PM

3-24-09-Hunter started saying prayers by himself a couple months ago, but they have so far consisted of the same 3 or 4 items. Yesterday he added a new one. "Thank you that I could meet Tony the garbage man"
Charlotte is crying and Hunter says "don't worry Charlotte, daddy will help you...after we play blocks"
10/24/08-I'm slowing down quite rapidly for a yellow light, and Hunter is in the back seat screaming "slow DOWN daddy, slow DOWN!"
6/16/08-Hunter has been complaining of itchy eyes lately, so I got him some drops from one of my professors at school. They sting a little at first and he’s been very brave with them, even laughing as I’m trying to put them in. This morning Heather found him with the unopened bottle of drops and a tissue, “putting” them in his teddy bears eyes and “wiping” them away with the tissue
6/08 I talk to Heather on the phone when I’m at work and usually Hunter if he’s awake. Sometimes Heather will ask if he wants to say hi to daddy, so he comes over to the phone and says “Hi dad” and runs off. She has to holler at him to come back and talk
4/6/08-Today Hunter and I (Spencer) were eating oatmeal. We finished the bowl and I told him we were all done. He started throwing a tantrum so I put him down on the floor. He rolled around for a minute and then got up and ran screaming into his room. We got quite a kick out of it, although we don't know what he was trying to accomplish.
3/5/08 - Lately Hunter has had a very runny nose, so he's gotten quite familiar with the tissue box. Now when we do the laundry he takes the dryer sheet and tries to wipe my nose with it. It took me a couple times to realize he thought it was a tissue and that he was "helping" me. I can say from experience that they are not nearly as soft on your skin as a normal tissue.
Feb '08-One day we were eating dinner. Hunter was down getting into the dvd drawer. He pulls out this old cartoon one and opened it. I (Spencer) asked him to bring it to me and he obediently did. I tried taking it from him at which point he completely lost it, very sad. So I put the disc back in and gave it to him. He stopped crying and quietly took the case back and sat in front of the tv. We continued eating, and when we looked over a few minutes later he was holding the case, quietly pointing to the characters on the front and looking really sad. He was being so darn cute we had to let him watch a few minutes.
10/1/07 - Hunter shut himself in our bedroom today. I went over to help him and made the mistake of asking, "Do you want to go outside?" I knew as I said it that I shouldn't have. He screamed in excitement and ran over to get his shoes. I tried to distract him with his teddy bears but he wouldn't be deterred. I didn't want him to think I'd lied, so he got to take a walk outside before his nap.
9/29/07 - We have one cabinet not "child-proofed" that Hunter has been obsessed with for the past week. He would go in, get the honey, walk around with it, and leave it in some random place. We couldn't figure out his obsession until the other day. I went in to find him hugging the honey jar when I realized it was a honey "bear". For those not aware, Hunter loves bears and thinks that any bear is free for the hugging. We got a good laugh out of it and let him play with it any time he wants now.
