Midnight Madness

Our weekend was fun and busy. Friday night we went to a fundraiser for Don's cousin. They had a dinner and an Elvis impersonator. Brody stayed with Friends and we went to pick him up afterwards. I was surprised that he went to bed fairly easy when we got home. Typically if he sleeps for awhile and then wakes up he thinks it's time to play. We think this is what may have happened on Saturday but we can't be too sure!

Saturday I got to escape and go to the MALL! I love the mall. The shops, all the people, the smell of naughty food!  It's great. 

I got home shortly after five and we still needed to eat dinner. Don wanted to go to his sister's house in Andover. It takes about 30 minutes together. By the time we got out of the house it was like 6:30. We were just going to hang out and visit. She didn't say anything about making food for us so that is why we ate before we left. Well when we got there she had a ton of food made. She made taquitos, quesadilla's, she had chips and gaucomole, mango salsa... I don't remember if there was anything else. So we all ATE again. Don gave Brodes a taquito. I didn't think that this was a great idea because I thought they were just a little spicy but he didn't think so. Anyway we put Brody in his playpen to sleep so we could watch a movie. He went to bed fairly easy. When the movie was over we walk him up right away and started to get ready to head home. It was about midnight! Well we ended up continuing to talk while Brody started to wake up and play. We finally get in the car to head home, I thought for sure he would fall asleep on the way home. NOPE.. still awake when we get home. So we get ready for bed. Sophie  , our dog, is making a weird gagging noise. Great. Don decided to put her in the laundry room for the night. Off to bed we all went, or atleast we thought we were going to bed! It's 1 am by the way. Brody is screaming his head off. So Don gets up and goes and checks on him. Meanwhile the dog is gagging something terrible and we can hear her in our bedroom. It sounds like she might be dying. It was really awful. When she wasn't gagging she was whining and hitting the door. So I grab a chair and put it in front of the door so that she at least will stop scratching the door. BTW, when I went in to put the chair in front of the door she had thrown up, x3! Nasty. Meanwhile, Don is rocking Brody. Appparently little big man was gassy! Hmmmm.. so is the gas keeping him up or was it because we woke him. and WHY would he have gas??? Spicy food maybe?? 

So Don and I head back to bed about 2:15am. I fell asleep around 2:30. I woke up at 3:30 from hearing Brody crying. I get up and Don and Brody are rocking again. Apparently I fell asleep but Brody did not and Don had been up with him. Needless to say the dog was still gagging and whining. Don just looks at me and says "WHAT is with this night." We all finally went to sleep at 5am and slept until 10am!! It was MADNESS! Sophie threw up ALL over the laundry room and is still gagging. Something clearly is not right with our dog and we are not sure what it is. We think maybe she ate something and got it stuck in her throat. We really just don't know. The mystery with Brody is still a mystery but he literally was up from 12am - 5am. Needless to say we were exhausted yesterday and didn't do much of anything. :)
