Fall Break

Connor is on Fall Break for the next two weeks.  I wasn't really sure what we were going to do for these two weeks, but so far we've stayed quite busy.  On Monday, we went to the Y for an hour.  Then we had been invited to go to a local play gym type thing with a friend.  The gym had changed owners since the last time we had been there.  So, it looked a lot different and was much more enjoyable for the kids.  There was stuff there for both of my kids to do instead of it just being more fun for one and not the other.  We were there for about 2 hours and the kids played hard! 

Tuesday was also a busy day.  I had appointments for both boys to get their flu shot.  That actually went very well.  They are both very brave little souls.  Blake barely  even cried...for 5 seconds.  Connor didn't even utter a peep.  He claims he didn't even feel it.  After that we headed over for Connor to get a haircut.  Boy was he getting shaggy.  I just love going to the place where we get our haircuts.  It is a family business and they just make us laugh and laugh the entire time we are there.  And, of course, both boys were terrific.  Connor always just sits up there like an adult...always has.  Blake entertained us all.  Then when Connor was finished, Blake just assumed it was his turn.  He wanted up there too.  Well, Anne had someone else to cut waiting for us, so she couldnt give him a haircut.  So, she put him up in the chair and pretended for a few minutes to cut and even put gel in his hair.  Thankfully, that made him happy.  We made a quick trip to the grocery store and then home for lunch.  The boys had been so super terrific that we decided to have a picnic upstairs for lunch on the mat.

We have also done a lot of coloring.  Connor is apparently going through an "I love to color" phase.  We have colored and colored...Connor and Blake, Connor and me, Connor and Aaron, Connor, Blake and me.



We finished up the day to a trip to Family Night at Chick-fil-a...kids eat free plus they always have fun activities for the kids!!  Last night they had a big jump house outside for the kids to play in.  And, of course a visit from the cow.  I was so glad she showed up because that was what I kept hearing from Blake "Cow, five.  Cow, five."  He loves to give the cow a high five.

Wednesday has been the slowest day so far.  The local YMCA was having a Family Boot Camp at 10:30, so Connor and I went to that.  It was lots of fun.  I hope he continues to enjoy being active and knowing the importance of regular exercise.  Our usual activities at church tonight are canceled except for supper, so we'll go eat and then come home.  Who knows what the rest of the week and next week will hold. 

Lots of heart smiling moments this week!!!
