Mommy's Eve

Well, I think Easton's tummy bug is gone. He slept 12 hours straight through last night (woo hoo!) and woke up completely happy and seemed back to his usual self. He even ate normally today (for E). Whew!

So, because we were all healthy (minus E's sporadic cough) Jason wanted to do something today. He said, "Isn't it 'free day' somewhere?" Why, yes...every Saturday is free at the art museum. And off we went. Little did we know how lame it was going to be. Floors 2-7 were closed till October because they're building another building. So, the only thing on Level 1 was an "exhibit" about the new building plans, models, blueprints, and other boring things. Ick (if you ask me anyway). Next, we headed down to the basement and they had a tiny kids area where we helped Easton color a disc to spin on a top. He liked the coloring and got marker all on his hands. He also liked the spinny top. That was about all there was to do. Seriously. Boresville. *snore*

Because the musuem was so dull and we had already forked a whole $1.50 into the meter we thought we'd stop by the enormous Denver Public Library. My goodness that place was huge, but again...not much to do...not that we expected to find loads of fun at a library, it was just something to do. Moving on, we thought we'd let Easton play outside at this park (where they held the March of Dimes walk) but, without all the organized activity going on that park is just plain sketchy with some iffy people. Needless to say, we didn't even let him out of the stroller and simply cruised on past to the car.

Darn, so we came on back up to our neck of the woods and stopped for a Mother's Day Eve lunch at a place called Tokyo Joe's. I had really been wanting to try it. It was okay just nothing special--unfortunately. The idea was good, just not the execution. Too bad...I was wanting something mighty delish. I'm looking forward to my special Mother's Day meal out tomorrow even more now.

Our afternoon and evening was same ol' same ol'. E took a nap. We had dinner. The boys played fun games. I did some laundry. Oh, but Easton was cute playing "Baby Net" with Jason. After they stopped E got all the "equipment" back out to play again and got in position. Jason gave in and E did this (click it for video). He's also pretty cute in this video taking a dive into the pile of pillows.

Just as a side note, Jason was leaving to go mow the lawn this morning and asked Easton for a kiss. Easton got up off the floor and gave his daddy the request smooch. It was too sweet. I love when he's willing to give kisses. I asked for one after that and he just blew me one. Still cute...I love being a mama!
