A FULL Weekend - Mar 29-30 LATE!!

Saturday the boys and I went to the Children's Museum in Indy. We hadn't been since January so we were due... and with busy weekends and then warmer weather coming, it seemed like a good idea. WRONG! It was the first day of Spring Break for the Indy schools so the place was a zoo. I usually let Ben roam around on his own as he knows the boundaries and I can usually see him from a distance... this time there were so many people that I couldn't do that. So after 3 hours, we left...

Because I still have some good (50% off) coupons from Value Village, I took the boys with me to the 38th St location... where we

found JUST what we needed, another Little Tykes car! As you'll see in the pics it was a big hit with the boys for $12.50! They call it a "super hero car" and they climb in as illustrated in the pics... up the front and thru the sunroof. The GET OUT the doors... but for some reason can't use them to enter the vehicle...

This weekend we also un-bunked the bunk beds. The two boys sleeping in one twin bed just wasn't working... one was ALWAYS up in the night. We weren't ready to put Ben on the top... so we moved most of the toys out of their bedroom and switched the beds around. Ben likes playing his leapster in bed before he goes to sleep.

Owen thought the new bed configuration was created to give him jumping places. He jumped and jumped on the bed. Then he settled in, surrounded himself with puppies, and worked on the Magnadoodle!

Saturday night we had another scare as Dad had to go to the ER for some chest pains and pain in his lungs when he was breathing. Turned out to be a bronchial infection... but worrisome nonetheless.

Jason, the boys and I ALL travelled back to Bruceville on Sunday to visit and help out with some food prep for the week. Mom won't like this, but these are some photos I took on Sunday of the patients and their caretaker...

The last photo is of Tammie. She's behind the pants. She's been helping out with BOTH Mom and Dad and has been doing laundry, cleaning, food... everything. We really appreciate all of her help. Especially with the two boys... I haven't been able to do much!

We're looking forward to a doctor visit for Mom in Indy next Tuesday. I'm sure he'll tell us that she's doing even better than expected. She is anxious to get "back to work" ... cleaning, the usual stuff. I'm working on finding enough projects to keep her busy during her downtime!
