What a Week

It has been a super crazy week at the Cook house. First of all, we have been indirectly effected by swine flu. Jerrod is the regional U.I.L. director and has been preparing for the regional track meet all month long. He found out on Wednesday that due to swine flu, all of the regional track meets had been cancelled. This made his day crazy because he had track coaches from all over calling to find out what was going to happen and if thier kids were going to advance to state. Yesterday he found out that the regional meet had been rescheduled and will take place later in May. I have been busy this week at school with TAKS testing - YUCK! I am so glad it is over and hope the last few weeks of school go smooth.

We have also been having the bedtime battle at our house this week. Katelyn gets so tired at night but HATES to go to sleep. I wonder where she gets that from - her nosey mom or her nightowl dad? Last night I finally gave up and put her in her bed instead of trying to fight her until she finally went to sleep. She only fussed for a few minutes and then was sound asleep. This is how I found her this morning though:

I guess I need to put the bumper pad back in her bed so she does not break her foot while she is getting her nightly exercise!!! I should also be concerned that there is a pillow in her head, but I know that I have seen Jerrod like that SEVERAL times so I guess it is ok.

She is also trying to crawl. She is putting more effort into crawling at school than she is at home. She thinks when she is at home that mommy or daddy will pick her up and take where she needs to go. This is one of my favorite pictures because it shows her true colors. She has a temper - believe it or not!!!! She wanted me to pick her up, but I wouldn't and she let me know exactly how mad she was!!!

I hope there is someone out there that feels sorry for her because I certainly do not. If she would be a little more patient instead of getting so angry she would already be where she wanted to go!!

We are getting ready to celebrate birthdays this weekend. Jerrod's birthday is on Sunaday and Grandpa (Glenn) and Caleb's birthday is Tuesday. I am sure that I will have some fun pictures to share next week!
