Things started off well this week. Station Fire is no 50% contained, they still think it will be until September 15 until it is out. The smoke got real bad this week by Wednesday. DD1 and DD2 had a PE assesment Wednesday morning and during the 1 mile run DD2 got light headed, sense she has already passed out on me twice this summer I ran out to where she was to help her back to the rest of the group(ok I have never been a runner and being 4 months pregnant I might not have really run but jog/walke) She is like me and doesn't handle extrem heat very well. We were at the park for 2 1/2 hours that morning. The smoke didn't get real bad until the afternoon.  School was light that day for in the afternoon I had an eye appointment. Thursday afternoon I noticed my DS2 was having a hard time breathing and there was now a wheeze in his cough. Thought I had better check it out to be on the safe side, back in November he had to go on breathing treatments. His plus ox was 92 and he was working really hard to get air so they gave him two breathing treatments and a steroid shot, then told me he still wasn't stable enough for a chest xray so they were going to transport us over to the hospital. Now it was my DD4 5th birthday and we were going to have pizza and presents that night. It had to be postponed until Friday. I was thankful that DD1 had gone with me to the doctors so I had her drive the van home, one less thing to worry about. Just before the ambulance came, my DH called to tell me his truck broke down, fortunatly he was in town and auto club was on the way, just a blown water hose. The ER was crowded, they gave my son (2 1/2 years old) 2 more breathing treatments and then put him on a continues one, took chest xrays. Turns out he has pneumonia. Then the doctor walks up to the young girl in the chair next to us and says she needs to put on a mask because she has the swien flu. Well the release us after 10pm, we go back over to the doctors offices and pick up all our prescriptions and make it home a little after 11pm. I call the morning to make a 48 to 72 hour follow up. Oh they are closed Monday do to the holiday and Tuesday is to far off for a baby with pneumonia so  we go back Friday afternoon. DS2 is better, still not out of the woods they tell me but do his breathing treatments every 4-6 hours and slowly increase the time inbetween them over the next couple of weeks and take the other meds the ER gave us. Now we are three days behind in school work. Thats ok, hubby is home for three days and between the two of us, we knock out the school work in two days.  Yeah!!! I can start this week off all caught up.

Wednesday I was able to finish my shawl I was working on.

You can't really see the beads on the boarder but they are there. I no sooner finished this, took off for my eye appointment and stopped by the mail box and this was there! My O-wool to make some Budgie Bloomers! Then when I got home this is what UPS had left on my door step.It's the Cestari fine merino that Bridget also recommened for the bloomers and I already had some Peace Fleece so I had a side by side compairison of the different yarns to see which I liked better.Blue Peace Fleece and Artic Peace Fleece. I casted on the O-Wool to make a friend a baby shower gift, not much knitting got done on Thursday and Friday, but I did finish my first pair of Budgie Bloomers on Sunday.So now I need to work on my Tinkle Time Trainers, some for my son and a sample to go to the designer so I can get my license to sell them. I still need to make some more progress on my sweater and yes we are going on vacation!!!! We are celebrating 5 birthdays in a 3 day period. My Father-in-law, my husband, my mother and her husband, and a couple of my sister-in-laws.

Oh I did say that my DD4 had her 5th birthday this week. It was fun and we spread it out over three days. ha ha. The day of her birthday she got to pick her breakfast and lunch, dinner got moved to the next night along with cake and presents. Then Saturday morning hubby and I took her out for breakfast, just the 3 of us and boy is she a chatter box. She talked non stop even when I took her to the restrooms. LOL
