So, what's a Mom to do on a Thursday filled with runny noses and sore throats?
How about, load the kids up for a drive and take Daddy to lunch!?! They adore Daddy and we want to make sure that we pamper him appropriately so that he'll keep bringing home the bacon for our very grateful family! We decided to just drive through somewhere nearby so we could eat in the van and not worry about disturbing our sicklings!
After a nice lunch with Daddy we headed home for some serious napping!
Post-nap brought brighter faces and less snot, so we decided to head to the library... the kids LOVE the library... it's a pretty cool remodeled one, so we've got that in our favor! :) Anyhow, the kids grabbed their library cards, which they each got for their first birthday (per our tradition) and carry it around like a beloved stuffed animal! We normally don't use their cards because there's a 30 book limit on each card... in other words, my library card is plenty enough for all of us... we usually fill our backpack with about 20 or so books at a time... we're wild like that!
The kids usually pick out one book each and we sit together for both stories. Then, I let them go crazy and pick out as many books as their little hearts' desire! Blake has always loved the books on audio, so we get about 5 or 6 of the books with accompanying CD's. Addie has certainly grown to love them as well and is catching on to turning the pages when she hears the "chime"... her big brother is a pro and has been excited to show her lately!
And now, well now, it's Friday... and it's raining... but we're in good shape because we stockpiled some new books yesterday... and we've got bowling after nap with Blake's friend Kai and Addie's friends Reese & McKenzie! We're back in the game!
