Today is a peaceful day of mom resting while watching Cami and Ian play playdoh. Ian just smashed his crackers and cereal into the red playdoh and is having a grand time making a "cake". His nose continues to run and his cough sometimes seems non stop. I sit with almost no voice and a stuffy nose. Thankfully Ben and Cami are pretty healthy, with the exception of coughs and runny noses. Our lives are forced to temporarily slow down while we return to health. If all goes well this week, we will be flying out to see my mom and Bruce on Friday. We are hopeful that the Midwest flights go smoothly and no weather or mechanical problems get in the way of our journey to Seattle and back. We will have about a 6 hour drive from Seattle to Eugene once we complete our flight from Milwaukee to Kansas City to Seattle. We chose to fly to Seattle since that is the closest Midwest Airlines airport to Eugene. Our back up is going to be San Francisco, although that would put us on an 8 hour drive to Eugene.
The kids are doing really well in school. Ben is glad that he got to move tables this week. He was having problems with one of his tablemates calling names, so he is glad to have new people to sit next to. Cami continuing to learn her letters and numbers. She enjoys her teacher and her classmates. She is such a big helper during the week when we have our friends Amelia and baby Ben over.
The first picture is of Cami with her Starbucks hot chocolate. Starbucks gave away free coffee on election day if you told them you voted. We have a Starbucks in our Target, so on our way out, we stopped to pick up free coffee. I am not usually a coffee drinker, however, with enough cream and sugar to make it close to a latte, I will drink it. Cami was proud to have "matching" mommy and daughter drinks.
The second picture is of Ian with a lip kazoo in his mouth. He likes to put it in and walk around with it as he blows it. It is funny to watch the amount of drool come down as he giggles.
