Big Brother Fun Day!

     Today we decided to give Big Brother an afternoon out with Hubby and I. Froggie stayed home with my mom while the three of us went to see his very first movie in the theater; Frozen! We got there a little early, waited in line for our snacks (Big Brother wanted popcorn AND Skittles to go with his fruit punch) and then found our seats. We tried out the seat by itself but Big Brother was just a little too short to see all of the screen so Hubby took him out to use the potty once more before the movie started and they picked up a fancy booster seat on the way back.

He made it through the WHOLE movie
     After the movie we sat and waited for the credits to finish (if you haven't seen Frozen or if you're going to see it again stay, there's something after they finish rolling the credits!) and he got a little antsy at this point but he sat pretty still and was especially quiet (for a 3 year old) during the whole movie. He ate all of his Skittles (which were rationed out over the course of the movie) and most of his popcorn. After the movie we tracked down the Olaf display so that Big Brother could take his picture with it. He was pretty excited to play the ukelele too.

     After the movie Big Brother was pretty tired and a little grumpy but apologized for crawling on the floor and not being an especially good listener and asked to go to the book store. Who can honestly say no to a 3 year old who requests a trip to the book store? Hubby and I thought about whether we should take him or not since he was getting pretty tired and tends to act up the more exhausted he is. Because of his sincere apology and the fact that he doesn't get a lot of one on one time with both of us we took him. He got to pick out a book and chose Rescue Mater (a Cars book, go figure). We got Froggie a Frozen book and Hubby and I both picked up books for ourselves as well.
     We came home to a sleeping Froggie and tucked Big Brother into his bed for a late nap. Froggie woke up with bright red cheeks and was pretty clingy. She has slept most of the evening, has been pretty drolly and seems to have a low grade fever; a dose of ibuprofen put an end to the fever (for now) and the redness since it was a result of the fever. Hopefully the sleep and snuggling will fix the rest! She even got carried around in a sling for awhile because I wanted my hands back!

Breakfast with Santa Cow, Playing in the Snow and a Party!

     Saturday morning we headed out into the snow to attend a Chick-fil-a event. It just so happened to be breakfast with Santa Cow. The kids got a yummy breakfast out, which we don't normally do, and they got to make a craft, play in the play area and meet Santa Cow.
     Big Brother had a blast and Froggie absolutely loved getting her own "real" food for breakfast instead of her normal oatmeal. Despite the snowy weather and slippery roads it was worth the trip out. After our breakfast we did a little bit of shopping and headed home for lunch and nap time.

Mmmm fruit

Breakfast!

     After nap time Big Brother wanted to help shovel the driveway. He got all bundled up and put on his snow suit and headed out with Hubby while I looked for his old snow pants for Froggie. Of course they weren't where I thought they were and I didn't want to spend too much time looking for them so I improvised. With approximately 4 layers on I carted Froggie out to hang out with all of us in the snow. She seemed to like watching it fall but I'm still on the hunt for Big Brother's old snow pants so she can really play.

     After our fun morning and afternoon we headed back out in the snow to go to a Christmas party. This was your standard "command Chirstmas party" with some food, door prizes and some other miscellaneous things to do before coming to a close. The kids were well behaved and seemed to have fun. We won a door prize (COFFEE!!!!) and got to watch Hubby "sumo wrestle"!
