Weekend Activities...

In an attempt to get out of the house and try to make the best out of a somewhat icky situation, my friend Erin and I decided to take our kids and meet at the Farmer's Market yesterday morning. Her daughter Lauren was suffering from a cold and since Finley had a mystery virus we decided that since we'd be in open air it would be ok to take the kids out and also have an opportunity to buy some fresh produce, yummy baked goods and also catch up with each other. Actually Finley and Lauren seemed to quite enjoy their time spent in the strollers walking around in the fresh air and also when we let them play on the lawn of the capitol. They even enjoyed a treat of spicy cheese bread and pastries. Umm, the only bad part was that of course they managed to drink from each other's sippy cups... bummer. We can just hope one virus cancels the next right??
Here are a bunch of pictures from the capital lawn

A little too short yet buddy...

These are not our strollers but Finley was obsessed with their balloons

Perspective... little boy, BIG building

After we got home playing with his balloon (that Erin and I went to great lengths to get from Capitol Kids toy store)

Balloons make sick little boys feel much better!


On Saturday evening my sister came over and Finley, her and myself made a quick trip to Woodmans for some groceries and picked up Noodles and Company for dinner. Finley enjoyed his Penne Marinara (although it made a second appearance later that night).

Today was a crazy yet lazy day. Finley did not feel well at all in the morning after his bad night. We just cuddled until he took a long nap and I got much needed chores done. Later Grandma Patti and Grandpa Greg came for a quick visit and we all headed to the Coyle Carpet/Tile store (more on that later, big things are coming for my living room). Finley and I had a nice walk after his dinner and long bath. He actually settled down nicely after a very fussy/crabby day. I am sorry to report that Finley is still sick as I type this but so far tonight is proving to be a little better than last night...long story but it involves a rash, vomit and very little sleep. My poor kid. If his is still not feeling better in the morning I will be making another call to the Doctor.
