What to do....

Last week this is what I woke up to, I was not in the mood at all to start my day by cleaning the kitchen from the night before, to turn around and make a mess in it making breakfast...and than just have to clean that up....So instead I put on my walking shoes, loaded the boys up and headed to the coffee shop, if I have to clean I might as well get a yummy soy latte to help me along... we pass a McDonald's on the way to the coffee shop, with a play area outside... so I got my latte and an organic apple juice for ollie, and head back to McDonald's.... thinking it is really funny that I got ollie an apple juice, but am about to feed him a really not good for him fast food breakfast thingy.... Parks are hard lately since max is walking, but not walking well enough for the challenges of the park. He is no longer content to just hang out in the backpack or stroller. So it becomes a struggle and not to much fun for me.... but at the Golden Arches....(so sad) the floor is padded, and the play area is fenced and he can't get away....

This was the first time that we have gone to a fast food place to eat and play.... I mean we do pick up the occasional burger, but it is not a habit, well not for me, ollie, and max... B is a different story, but what he puts into his body is his business, and we eat pretty healthy at home... so I can't give him to much crap...

all in all it was a great morning, even though I did have to go home and clean the dishes... but playing took up most of our morning....

When we first got there, I had to climb in there with him and try to direct him to the slide... those play things are high, and like little mazes.... as soon as he was out of my sight up in that thing he would start screaming and crying....I kept thinking, I really do not want to have to climb up there....I have a fear of things collapsing.... but once he found his way to the slide, with my gentle coaxing through the maze, he was stoked... he just kept running circles around the thing and down the slide... it was fun...

I do blame Mcdonald's (might have been costco) for getting sick though... me and the boys have stayed very healthy over the last year that I have been home, which before, ollie or I was sick all the time... so 2 days after our morning on the germy play thing... all three of us were cranky and had runny noses, and I had a killer sore throat.... that is why I should just stay home.... I did get a huge supply of airborne though... i love that stuff......
