Li'l Party Go-er

Easton and I went to a little pal's 2nd birthday party today. E still has the sniffles but the party was supposed to be at a park across from their house (it was) and therefore I was less afraid of spreading the germs. So, we went ahead and went after first stopping off at Wal-Mart to pick up a little something. J stayed behind for a little time to himself and to start watching the Saints game in peace.

Here the party go-er toting the gift:

And here is a super-cool present she got. She is great at sharing. Good thing--Easton really wanted to check it out so he'll know to ask Santa for one this year. Plus a helmet--gotta start those good habits early. Anyway...

And seeing if he can reach the pedals:

Since they were really nice and know how hard it is to wait your turn (if you even get a turn because it's their toy and their party and I really didn't expect them to share--even though they did) they were nice and went and brought this for Easton while Lilly rode her new trike.

Easton and I both appreciated it.

Now we're home and the boys re-bonded during half-time and now E is snoozin' away thanks in part to the full morning and the cough syrup. :) He coughed all through his nap yesterday and was still coughing once I fell asleep last night (but he didn't wake me up coughing in the night). That was all with cough syrup. Hmmmm. Must be like the neighbors and their "bark collars"--perhaps both work opposite of what you'd think? Or maybe his cough is just yucky and is actually better than it would be sans syrup. Who knows?

This afternoon will probably be the local dairy's Fall Fest and then the Broncos on TV tonight with some chili rice. Yum. I am a bloggin' fool these days, eh?
