Super Saturday

Maybe it was because we forgot it was St Patrick's day.

Maybe it was because we didn't wear green, any of us.

Maybe it was because we are just THAT GOOD at planning fun stuff.

The fact is, we had a super Saturday that is worthy of a post...  

Destination #1: Children's Museum

RESULT: Huge parade in front of the museum (and a sudden realization that we forgot it was a holiday) and a thousand people all around.  Let's change our destination.

Destination #2: Jump Place (Shayne had purchased passes through a groupon deal)

RESULT: Closed for private parties all day

Destination #3: Home for naptime... 

RESULT: whew, a little 3 year old in our house needed that!

Destination #4: Local Rec Center to swim

RESULT: "Sorry, but we are closing in 20 minutes, are you sure you want to pay to swim?"  (and lots of tears too)

Destination #5: Movie Night at home

RESULT: Daddy had to drive 2 towns over to get the desired movie, then left it in the shopping cart.

LUCKILY, he remembered before driving away.  

Did I mention we tried to take the boys sledding two weeks ago and ended up driving for nearly 2 hours looking for a hill with snow?  We ended up at Arctic Circle eating corn dogs...

Yeah, we're awesome.

Dear Skyler,

I can't believe you've been in our lives for more than 3 months already!  There are few things you need to know about you at 3 months...
1) Danny adores and smothers you with affection CONSTANTLY (good thing you ordered the mommy-protection plan)
2) Cole makes up songs to ease your crying or just to entertain you, and they work!
3) Hunter loves to hold you and kiss you
4) You now sleep about 8 hours at night, and that makes Mommy VERY happy
5) You prefer to be held out - facing the world.  You want to see what is going on and be on the move.
6) Luckily, the swing is a favorite spot too.
7) The car seat is not a favorite spot - but you put up with it because you have to.
8) Daddy gave you a taste of ice cream and you gave him a good stink-eye, no more ice cream for you.
9) You've grown so much and too fast.  Mommy is sad that she had to put away the 0-3 month clothes already.  
10) No binky for you - you don't like it.  You do like your fist but, don't think about sucking on that little thumb-mommy will cover your hands with mittens!

I love you to the moon and back... over and over again.
-Mommy
