Recently,

+  It seems we are finally free (for now) of the "boogs" (boogers), coughing, fever, and wheezing that had us down for two weeks.  Hoping the flu shot will keep the flu away. . .

+  We celebrated Big Brother's 3rd birthday with Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes for breakfast, a matinee of The Lorax, birthday gifts throughout the day, and a yummy dinner {homemade chicken nuggets + sweet potato fries + steamed carrots + the chocolatiest chocolate cake ever}

+  In addition his 'birthday' being any and every day since his actual birthday, Big Brother didn't quite follow how it could be anyone else's birthday, and Uncle J's surprise birthday-bowling party must also be HIS party ;). 

+  Hubby and I cleared all of the insulation and drywall debris from the living room.  Thank you for making the 'dump run' Honey.  The dust continues to settle, but it's so nice to see an empty room. 

+  We enjoyed a yummy dinner with my family this weekend, celebrating two birthdays with a small dessert buffet!   

+  I am so proud of Big Brother for being so cheerful going into his immunization appointment.  He knew why he was there and he was so brave.  Both of my little men are sporting a bandage on each leg.  Our nurse was quick, and Daddy/Hubby met us there for support.  Big Brother was rewarded with hugs and ice cream.

+  With Big Brother still in "footie-pajamas," we rushed out of the house and drove to the ABC4 studio hoping to get there in time to receive 4 free passes to Disney on Ice.  We did, just in time!  Thank you Good Things Utah for the fun giveaway, and special thanks to my boys for responding so well to me scooping them up and rushing them out of the house at a moment's notice.  I'm looking forward to this special night with my boys!
