Time of the season

As the short-lived summer season is quickly running away from Seattle - so starts the season of runny noses and cold-like symptoms.
The season is in full swing at the Lodato house Riley has a nasty runny nose, congested chest and is overall Miss Grumpy pants. She wakes up several times a night now and morning decided that 430am was the time to wake mom up.
All she wants is to be held by mom and I wont argue, its wonderful cuddling time!

I kept Riley home yesterday for one big reason but was glad I kept her home to rest as she was not feeling good at all. Yesterday Andy had to take my car into Les Schwab and we threw out another fat wad of cash out to them again to replace the Ford's 4 tires. This is after we had already tossed out a wad of dough for Andy's car the week before AND 2 weeks before that replacing the washer and dryer.
Any bonuses or any amount of $ we had saved is not gone. BLAH :( Sorry Riley you will not be going to college, mama has to do laundry. HA!

This weekend is Labor day and full of festivities for us. Saturday we are headed up to Aunt Sue's house for the annual Horseshoe tournament. Andy is hoping to take home the glorious gold plated toilet seat this year; go Andy!

Sunday is Kendra's wedding (Andy's employee/PT) which we are super excited about. Riley is excited to spend more time with Grandma and Papa Kletchka, though she does not know she will be spending the night yet. Better not to tell her this.
Plan is for us to get there, hang out and get dressed for the wedding, then sneak out before she seems us leave. Usually she is so busy with grandma she could care less about Mom, but with her runny nose she is a bit clingy.

Andy is taking bets on how early I leave the house to pick up Riley the next day. :( And I am sure my mom will be happy when I pick her up, if she continues to do her 'wake up in the middle of night' routine she is on.

If we get some cute pictures from this weekend we will post!

Here are a few that I have put on FB, but had to share:
