The last thing we needed.

The last thing we needed was another cold for Maxie.

But sometimes the last thing you need is the very thing you get!  This sniffly, stuffed-up baby woke up every couple of hours screaming and crying!

He was relatively happy during the day, though!  

Gabe wanted me to make a CD of his favorite songs today.  He got to do a lot of goofing around and writhing on the floor while I spent a couple hours looking for songs in three different computers and shaking my fists at technology.  In the end I ran out of Max-time and Daddy had to finish Gabe's CD:

1.  Stronger - Kanye West

2.  Got My Mind Set on You - George Harrison (Gabe says he hates this song and didn't ask for it.}

3.  Horror Show - Powerman 5000

4.  Losing Touch - The Killers

5.  Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes

6.  Yellow Submarine - The Beatles

7.  The Remedy - Seether

8.  This Is Us - Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris

9.  The Game - Disturbed

10.  X Amount of Words - Blue October

11.  Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing - Chris Isaac

12.  Supervillain - Powerman 5000

13.  Dance With Me - 112

14.  Stacey's Mom - Fountains of Wayne

15.  Heavy - Collective Soul

16.  You Better Swim - SpongeBob Movie Soundtrack

17.  I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends - The Beatles

The vet called and said it was time for Buster's second de-worming.  Mom took him in for a dose.  (Gabe took this picture of Buster from the vantage point where he often sees him ...  He stands up on a wooden ledge on our deck where Buster can't get to him!)

He knows that as soon as he comes down ...

... it's puppy-attack time!

Playing video games when it's too nasty to go out.

Barn Fun with Grandma.

Brian, apparently pretending to be a zombie here, returned today from a week's vacation to find a week's worth of work piled up on his desk.

Our dog (formerly?) Fidget likes to spend his time on rainy days curled up in a box outside Mom and Dad's door.

Alright, no use making the bed tonight, since I know where Max and I will be sleeping.  Saving up my energy and getting my nasal aspirator ready!  Hoping he'll get better soon!
