I can't believe that tomorrow night will already be a week that we've been staying in our house. We looked forward to the house being done for so long, and now it seems like the time is flying already!

Scott took last Friday off and the moving process began. We used that morning (while Dianne watched Addison and Fischer for us) to move a lot of boxes, which we loaded in our cars and a trailer the night before. We unloaded and unpacked as much as we could before heading home for lunch and naptime for the kids. We actually got quite a bit done in those few hours - it's amazing what you can do without having to keep up with the kids!

That afternoon, we ran a few errands and ended up eating dinner out at a Japanese restaurant. Last time we ate at one, several months ago, Addison was terrified and cried throughout most of the dinner. Scott was convinced this time would be different. He was wrong. :) Addison sat on my lap the whole time, but Fischer LOVED it. We decided that it will have to be a Daddy/Son outing from now on.

After putting the kids to bed, we watched the Gamecocks play in the College World Series. Then, we headed to bed to rest up for Saturday, which was another moving day. I had a hard time relaxing because I was so worried about how the kids would react to the move. I was so worried about putting them in their separate rooms... turns out, I had nothing to worry about.  More on that later!

In other news, the kids were nice and both slept all night last night! I woke up feeling rested and refreshed. Unfortunately, Fischer had a fever tonight. Hopefully he sleeps ok. It was so weird - he was totally fine and in a great mood. Then, around 5 pm, he started crying and/or whimpering and wouldn't stop. I picked him up and noticed how hot he felt. I took his temperature and it was around 102. It was so sudden. Then his nose started running a lot. He refused to eat dinner and just wanted to lay on the couch, and kept asking Scott for more "fish and hunt stories." Listening to Scott's stories has become one of his favorite things. I offered to tell him a shopping story while we were cuddling on the couch after dinner. I told him about my trip to Mall of America in high school. Then, I said "Do you want to hear another shopping story?" And he said "No." Oh well. :)  Anyway, we went ahead and gave him Tylenol and some Children's Pepto Bismol to hopefully stop anything before it starts.... his fever had gone down a little by bedtime, so we'll see what happens tonight.

It's never boring around here, that's for sure!
