ole schnikees: 2017

Monday night Trevor and I walked to the park after nap since it was decent out finally.

Wednesday all 3 of us drove to Marshfield in the morning for Trevor's eye appointment. the doctor said trevor's eyes are "excellent", he could see great (shouldn't need glasses any time soon), and that could/would be our last eye appointment in Marshfield!! afterwards, we went to the little zoo place we always go to and the animals were very out and active including the bears being on their bridge. it was pretty cold and windy so we didn't stay too long. then we had lunch and drove home. halfway through the drive home, we switched drivers so Al could nap. just into Al's county, I hit a deer on the highway. I saw him at the last minute and probably scared the crap out of Al, so I was able to swerve a bit and hit his front on the driver's side front corner/headlight of our vehicle. that whipped his back end around, and his butt hit my driver's side door (which we didn't realize until later). I pulled over and due to being an animal lover, scared, and pregnancy hormones, I cried lots. Al got out and checked our car; luckily it was still drive-able, so while Al called his department, I drove to the next exit and into a parking lot. that's when I noticed the driver's side door and the poop on it... Al's co-worker was not able to come due to getting an emergency call, so Al ended up doing the crash report (since the damage was over $1000). once home and once T was down for nap, I called our insurance to get things started.

Thursday we didn't do much, just hung out around the house. Friday morning, Auntie Molly got here in the morning and Al took our edge in for an estimate and to schedule the repairs. they did the estimate ($4600, thank goodness for insurance) and we can't get in to get it fixed until January since they say they'll need the vehicle for 11 business days. once Al was back, we all drove up to rice lake to check out grandma DD and grandpa Rick's new trailer/lake home. we stopped by Al's coworker's house in bloomer to drop off a baby gift. they have a little guy Tyler who is a year younger than Trevor, so they had fun running around together. then we found the lake and eventually the trailer, which was nice and the lake looks good! we then had lunch in rice lake and grabbed a pie to take home. home for nap and then Al, auntie molly and Trevor hung out while I went shopping with Jodi.

Saturday morning we played a bit, before Trevor and I drove up to the cities for a baby shower and softball party. Auntie Molly stayed until Al left for work at 2ish. once we to mom's house, I fed trevor and put him down for nap before my dad got there to sit with him while I went to the baby shower. it was a baby shower for my cousin Aryn on my dad's side; she's due with a boy 5 weeks before me. it was a good little shower with my aunts, a cousin and some of Aryn's friends. I left at 4 to relieve dad, and Trevor did not sleep for him... we then went to the softball end of the year party at kris and jeff's house (2 miles from mom's house) at 430. we had lots of fun even though trevor was crazy due to not napping, having so many kids to play with, and being obsessed with the nerf guns. we played left right center dice game which I didn't ever win, ate, and hung out with our friends. there were 13 kids there and I don't think we've ever had them all together.

sunday morning trevor got to play with nana and uncle a bit before we headed home to eat lunch, watch the Vikings win and lay down for a little nap. I didn't expect T to nap but he did, so I had to wake him up just before 3 so we could go to Chloe's birthday party at 3. it was a nice little party with our friends where we snacked, kids did crafts, ate cupcakes and hung out. we came home at 530 and did next to nothing but watch movies and eat a small supper. we were in trevor's room and he was spinning around getting dizzy when he fell over and bonked his head on the wall. I grabbed him and hugged him, and then asked him where it hurt. he tapped his head and then I saw that it was bleeding in his hair. so we rushed into the bathroom to get it to stop bleeding and then look at it. I thought I was a little gash but once Al was home from work, he put T in the bath, cleaned off all the blood and discovered it was more of a really small scratch, just some skin missing. thank goodness we didn't need to go in for stitches.

Monday morning Trevor was very happy to get some dada play time. they played legos for about 2 hours while I put out some winter/Christmas decorations, and then they went outside to play since it was 40 degrees until lunch time. then nap and Al had to leave for work.
