Friday afternoon was met by a new level of diaper explosion. We got home from daycare and I picked Harrison up out of the car seat only to have it drip down my hand and onto the floor. I had to strip and wash the car seat and DeAnne somehow got the boy clean without giving him a bath. I don't really know how she did it, but the clothes he had on had to go straight into the wash. Mind-blowing is probably a poor choice of term considering the situation, but I'm having difficulty coming up with a better description.

The yard sale went really well. The family did good overall and considering we basically went down to the storage building and packed up a bunch of junk at the last minute, we did good, coming out with about $140. It was a pretty fun day hanging out with the family. Harrison seemed to enjoy sitting outside and with the weather being so great, it was hard to not stay outside all day. He got fussy towards the end of the day but it was mainly because he didn't take a good nap all day. There was just too much going on and too many people passing him around. He slept through the night though so it worked to our advantage there at least.

Sleeping through the night is awesome. Except when the diaper doesn't hold up through the night. Then you kind of almost wish he would have woken up just long enough for you to change the diaper before it reached the point where you had to strip the bedding and the baby and wipe him down as best you can in the morning when you're already running late.

There's been a good bit of new music to have come out the past couple of weeks. Two of the albums I've picked up are "The Reckoning" by Needtobreathe and "Vice Verses" by Switchfoot. Both are pretty incredible albums and I highly recommend getting both of them, especially the Needtobreathe album. If you don't already own all of their stuff, do yourself a favor and go get it. They're probably one of the best bands out there right now.

DeAnne's back continues to hurt, possibly even getting worse the last couple of days. We're trying to see if we can get her appointment with the specialist in Birmingham moved up. Thankfully, Harrison has decided to start sleeping through the night on a more consistent basis. He's made it through at least two or three nights out of the last five. However, he's also gotten clogged up along the way. The last dirty diaper we had was Monday night. It's now Wednesday morning. Hopefully he'll go today. We've given him gas drops and sugar water. Prune juice is next on the list if something doesn't move at daycare today. He's also had some crusty mess in his ear off and on the past couple of days. Hopefully it's not the start of an ear infection.
So, it's been kind of a crazy week. On top of it all, Emma was having stomach problems earlier this week and then yesterday one of the cats had a hairball issue. I guess the animals were feeling left out and decided they had to throw in on the chaos.
