Well, we survived pager week and the two birthday party + a football game weekend. All and all it went well. I really wish our kids had video cameras attached their foreheads, so I could see everything as they do, while they're doing it.
Princess D got to spend the night at her grandparents castle, chase butterflies, and attended a skating party for a friend's 4th birthday party. It was her first official party, and due to dh's company picnic, we could not take her. She met up with us at Chip's football game, with a new purple unicorn in hand. She had "traded" the popcorn she's allergic to that was in treat bag for it, so she got a "corn" too...Ha ha ha.
Our Marathon day started with a trip to an Indian Mission for scouts at 9:30. Martin took the three amigos, I drove through McD's for an emergency caffeine stash for us adults. Baby guy thanked us by having an exploding diaper, which I had napkins and a water bottle to clean up. I found the "car wipes" after he was changed, of course.
Back at the mission, I took the toddlers on the "fall experience" point and smile tour. See the leaves falling? See the squirrel? Absolutely riveting entertainment, at least from the toddler point of view.
After we lassoed the kids back in the car, it was lunch for the allergics, and off to the zoo for the company picnic! Well, okay...it was off the the zoo's discovery tree, farm animals, and outdoor playground. Probably the highlight of everyone's day was Mr. M chasing the kids on the playground. Mr. M waved and smiled at a few of his coworkers and then it was time to go to football.
That's where our whole family united, and our poor little line-man lost his game on the last play....but nothing keeps him down long. His sissie was home, there was a treat bag to steal! She didn't care. Princess D had her uniCORN!
And that was just yesterday. Today is a whole different adventure.

Goodness! Sounds like you need a bit more than caffeine!
