Catch up

The past week has really flown by, we've been super busy. Monday I took the kids to the mall because Th*mas the Train was making an appearance. We were early but so was the rest of the city, the place was packed. Seriously it was like Christmas x10. Owen was so excited all morning, he couldn't wait to see Th*mas. This was the first time I'd ever seen him get really excited about anything, he was acting so much like a 'big kid'. I thought we found the perfect spot to see the show, unfortunately when they brought th*mas out they only brought him out about a foot & all we could see was the black rim on the side of train. I couldn't even get pictures that's how awful our spot was. The other characters we could see, but not th*mas! The entire show Owen kept asking about when he would see th*mas, he had no idea he was even there! I felt awful. I almost took him back to the mall to see a second show & get a better view, but he was over his disappointment quickly & we went home for a nap instead.

Later in the week we met up with some friends for a play date at a kids fitness play center, they had a blast running around & Owen was exhausted by the time I took him home. Getting out with two kids is becoming much easier, & I have been trying to take them out at least every other day.

Saturday we went to a children's fair & Owen had a great time dancing to the music & watching the super dogs. There were clowns & a bbq lunch, anytime Owen gets to eat a hot dog he considers it a great day!



Having a busy week and being around so many kids is likely what has gotten us all sick. It is so rare that Owen is sick, seriously I can count on one hand the amount of times he's had a cold & all of his colds were when he was in daycare. However this time we are all feeling awful. Taking care of two sick kids while feeling awful yourself is no fun at all. I am just very thankful that Noah hasn't been too sick & only has a bit of a stuffy nose. He's been sleeping lots (which is nice), & he is quieter than usual. Owen is still his busy self, nothing gets him down. I'm sure in a couple of days we will all be feeling much better & back to our normal busy days.
