Buffalo

I decided last mintue to go with my mom to Buffalo this past weekend to visit my little sister in college. Despite the crappy weather and long ass ride, we had a good time. I left my house at 7am met my mom in Amsterdam at 8:30 and we arrived in Buffalo about 12ish. After picking up Nikki we went and ate lunch at subway...mmmm turkey and bacon subs yummy. There was not much going on on her campus which was a little odd seems how it was parents weekend so we decided to go to Niagara Falls. Yes, in the freezing cold rain. It ended up being alot of fun. Things seem to be so much more fun when they are not planned. We had a nice dinner at Applebees then went to Walymart. The store in Buffalo has sooooo much more christmas stuff than ours. I am thinking that we need to plan another trip out just to go back for christmas stuff ( and I'm not kidding). LOL? So then after looking at each and every christmas item in the store we went back to the room and went to bed. I made them get up at 8 so we could do something else before dropping Nikki off and heading home (I am pretty sure I will not be invited on the next trip for this,lol). We decided to go to the outlet mall in Niagara, which ended up being a good decision, there were a couple of good sales going on. I really liked the mall setting because it was still raining outside. We dropped Nikki off, said our goodbyes and headed for home. We followed some drivers from NJ and Conneticut and made it to Amsterdam in record time.
Poor Cole has an ear infection which started on friday but he is getting better. The doctor looked in the ear that hurts and said yup it's all red in there. Then she looked in the other ear and asked me if he had a tendency to put things in his ear, to which I replied "No, why?". She says "Because there is something yellow in there". "Really?" I say, a little dumbfounded. She tried to get whatever it was out but couldn't. So now I have to put peroxide in his ear to try and soften things up and hope it flushes out. I looked in there and it looks like a piece of corn to me, so now instead of saying he has potatoes in his ears we say he has corn.LOL It doesn't bother him at all, but I still hope it comes out soon...whatever it is.
