Nico in the City, One More Time

On Saturday we went to visit my Brother Rob! We also got to visit his adorable kitties too.

I had a plan for this trip to Rob’s. I needed to pick up a few presents for James Birthday, and our anniversary too. I knew that Rob would have some pretty good gift suggestions, also Rob doesn’t mind driving all of us all over the city!

We were headed up North to shop a few stores, and we ran into a lot of traffic. Rob told us that Barack Obama was in town for a Rally, and we couldn’t believe the crowds. My Mom found out that there were 100,000 people at the Rally.

I love the city. There are amazing Fountains everywhere you look, and art work around every turn.

The shopping is fun, but honestly I love just walking around the city and viewing all of the amazing buildings. Dylan loves architecture too, he would look out of the window at all of the tall skyscrapers, and say “oh wow”.

Rob and I always have to visit the Plaza. It is by far one of my favorite places. There are beautiful fountains, incredible shops, and even a few places to get an iced coffee.

Before we headed back to Rob’s, I had to get an Vanilla Iced Bliss Coffee at Latte Land, they are so tasty!

The day was so much fun, and I really appreciate Rob letting us visit for the day. Thade is still talking about the city non-stop today, and we can’t wait to visit again!

A Little too Much Fun

This weekend has been a blast, but I’m paying for it today… On Friday I went to MOPS, and then later in the evening Shaunna invited me to a Girl’s Night Out. We all met at a friend’s house for Chick Flicks, Popcorn, and Ice Cream. It was a fun evening, but I stayed up a little too late.

On Saturday I was up way too early, but I thought it would be great to get out of the house and go and visit my brother. I called my Mom and she said she was up for the trip too. It was a great day, and I even finished up my Anniversary/Birthday shopping for James, and made quite a dent on my Christmas shopping list too. The boys had a great time, and I can’t wait to share all of the cool pictures from the day.

We made it home a little late though, and I was exhausted, the kiddos were too. I stayed up a bit to watch Saturday Night Live, and then I was just too tired to stay awake any longer. At 3:00 a.m., my stomach had different plans for me. I was up with an evil stomach ache and tummy troubles until 5:00 a.m., not too cool.I am just so sick of this flu, and today I am still feeling awful.

I’ll be staying pretty close to home today, and just hoping that I’ll be back to normal tomorrow. This flu has to end sometime, right?!?
