Busy Week

We've had a very busy week! On Monday, Will had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa that he couldn't be bothered to take a nap. Instead, he passed out on his play table at 5:45pm while I was cooking dinner. Big Lovey was on the table and Will didn't have the energy to move him to the floor or his bed. It was much easier to climb on the table to sleep. We have quite the collection of photos of Will sleeping in odd places.

On Tuesday, we took the boys to the Children's Museum's 15th birthday party. The museum is open late on Tuesdays and they had a room set up for members upstairs. We were able to have hot dogs and ice cream cake, do a few crafts, and play in the museum. Both Will and Alex had a lot of fun.

On Wednesday, Will woke up with a runny nose. But that didn't stop us from going for a bike ride into town and then meeting friends at the playground. Will had so much fun playing with the big kids on the slides. Alex loved the swings.

On Thursday, Will woke up with a cough in addition to his runny nose and Alex woke up all plugged up as well. Will still went to school (his teacher said they had several cases of the sniffles). Alex had some issues sleeping and taking a bottle in the morning but took a nice nap in the afternoon. The Vicks humidifier seemed to help a lot. After work, we went up to Taste of EGR in Gaslight Village. Will really wanted to go since he knew there would be a bounce house. Even though it had been raining on and off all day it looked like we would have a break in the weather. We drove up and loaded the kids into the stroller. We bought our food tickets and then Will got to play in the bounce house. We ran into a lot of friends in town. Around 6:30 or so it started to drizzle a bit. We hurried through to pick up food (I was smart and brought up plastic bags to put it all in) and then Phil joined us. We were able to walk around for a bit before the rain really started to fall. We ran back to the car (fortunately in the parking garage) and were able to tailgate and enjoy our food. It would have been nice to listen to more music and wander around a bit more but at least we got a yummy dinner out of it! Today we head to Detroit!
