Labor Day (and the past week)

We've been soaking up our last few days of summer with lots of pool time! The boys jumped off the diving board for the first time the weekend before Labor Day, and now they act like they've been doing it forever! Harrison always ends up doing a belly flop off the diving board...looks so painful!
 

The boys found this bucket in Migi and Pops' house and were outside playing with the hose one day and ended up filling the bucket and putting Jack in it. Poor dog...

 How much fun can one have in a bucket!?!?!


 Last Thursday, Harrison had an ENT appointment. I hate that place, mainly because you have to wait and wait and wait, but we have to go every 3-4 months due to Harrison's history. The past couple of visits have been pretty quiet with nothing going on, however, we knew something was going on even before this appointment because of the way he's been acting lately (he's been really, really, difficult--no other way to put it!). As it turns out, Harrison had so much fluid behind his ears that has caused him to have some temporary hearing loss (the hearing test was painful to watch because he couldn't hear anything), and so this morning, he had surgery to get the fluid out of his ears. Basically, he had the tubes surgery without getting the tubes. Our ENT does not want to put tubes back in his ears if at all possible due to the previously bouts with staph. This is clearly a very temporary fix and he could get fluid back in his ears tomorrow, but we're hoping it will buy us more time and praying he will grow out of this very soon!


On Friday, Harrison and I went to the zoo together. We had so much fun just the two of us.

 I let him feed the giraffes for the first time and he loved it!


 Saturday it was game day! We are so excited that football season is back!

We watched the first half of the game at home while Harrison napped, and then headed to a friend's house to watch the rest. There were a bunch of kids and it was crazy, but we had a great time!
 
 The reason we stayed in town this weekend was because we had to empty out one of our storage units and Sunday was the day. We rented a Uhaul and got it done. It was awful and I've never sweat so much in my life, but it is now all in our basement and that is one less storage unit payment this month! We are moving in our new house on Friday and we cannot wait!!! Pictures to come soon. We are so ready to get settled.

Monday, we headed to Hoover Country Club with friends to swim and have lunch. They had a water slide and music and the kids had all of their closest buddies to play with, so it was so much fun for everyone!


I wish every weekend was a long weekend! It was nice to have that extra day!
