Trip to Illinois

The third weekend in March we headed down to Illinois to visit Josh's family. We had hoped to have a big day on the farm and have Benjamin get his first tractor ride. Unfortunately, it was pretty chilly down there. Benjamin did get to walk around in the barn, watch the cows and tried to catch the tails of the kittens.
Sooooo... we headed into town to see Grandma Schultz. She was happy to see us. Benjamin was checking out her cupboards to see what fun things she had in there. Both of the boys played with the magnets on her refrigerator and the fun tractors she has at her house!!
Later that night Nana and Papa babysat so mommy and daddy could go on a date!! When we got back Jacob was not quite asleep and asked me if I was done with my date. Josh was not in the room, so he asked if daddy was still on his date?? I am not sure if he was trying to understand or if it was the fever talking. He was starting to feel pretty warm. He woke up that night crying. He was burning up and he woke up his brother also. Josh and I gave him some Tylenol and put a cold washcloth on his head. We finally got them both back to bed and Jacob woke up again. He had wet the bed :o(. So, at 4 a.m. I am trying to change bed sheets, trying to find a new mattress pad and get sheets on the bed without waking up everyone else up. Jacob was chatting away ready to wake everyone else up because he thought it was time to wake up. I finally got the bed changed and Jacob back in bed and he told me his ear was hurting and he wanted to keep the ouwa inside of his ear. Finally we all got back to sleep and slept in the longest we have ever slept in.
Jacob's temperature did break on Sunday morning, just in time to head back home.
