A Day Out

The other day Grandma Betty turned 87. Geez, that's almost 90! The kids, mom, and I went up to Joe to eat lunch with her on Saturday. I thought she looked really good that night and was getting around really well. The cake was for her and for Griffin.
This picture is hilarious. Mira is such a pouter. Mad because she didn't get to sit by Grandma.
Today I took the kids down to Crown Center to the "Under the Sea" free exhibit. It was really cute. Every few months they get a new play area like this one that's free. We've only gone to a couple but this was the best one we've been to.
Riding the dolphin.
In the mermaid's house.
This was G's fav part- in the seaweed.
Mira diving.
More divers!

Inside the whale's belly. They've been watching a lot of Pinnochio lately, so that was cute.
Push a button and a fan blows. For some reason they were obsessed with this.
Isn't this picture hilarious?!
We ate lunch at Fritz's- where the train drops your food at your table. G was in heaven...Mira's expressions for pictures are killing me lately...


He did actually eat a couple of chicken nuggets today- after told we were NOT going to see the other train until he ate. He's finally at the age where SOMETIMES (really not very often) we can use coercion to get him to eat...
They were really good today! We came home and G took a nap and Mira and I rested and then I did a workout for awhile.

I've now got my second sinus infection of the year. Terrible. I was doing fine but then my ears got involved and I could barely stand it yesterday, so I had to go see Dr. M. I'm so ready for summer it's ridiculous. Both of the kids have deep coughs and an occasional runny nose, but nothing serious so far (knock on wood).

Only 10 more weeks until baby boy gets here. Most of the time I feel really anxious about this. There's so much still to do to get ready for him and life is going to change so drastically! I haven't diapered anyone for quite awhile now! Back to the days of strollers and diaper bags. I'm really excited to snuggle with him and share him with the kids.

G's bday party this weekend! Stay tuned!

Did you get some drugs then? Hope you're feeling better! We have some gift cards to Crown Center. We need to take the kids.

I did get some Amoxil, but now I feel worse than before I got it, although my ear is better, my sinus stuff is MUCH worse :( BLAH.
