We are all ready for our normal routine again. It isn't that I don't enjoy my kids being around. It is quite the opposite really. I'm the first one to start counting the day until summer vacation and the one that mourns on the first day of school, but this is nuts. In the summer, we enjoy the outdoors and the kids can run around and get that energy out. Being stuck inside with 4 children that are also stir crazy is not always pleasant. I'll leave it at that. I am also a creature of routine and predictability and I miss that when I don't have it.
Monday, Jamie was off and we decided to get out of this house for a while. We went to the library where Chloe enjoyed story time and everyone else was able to choose some books. We ate lunch at Fazoli's and topped the day off by letting the kids blow off some steam at the Playzeum. We used some of our Christmas funds to go ahead and pay for a year's membership for that. With a family our size, we only have to go a few times to more than pay for the membership and I'm sure we'll go more than that. It is a great place to let them run around and beats going to a McD's play land any ol' day.
Micah really enjoyed the "shadow room". I'm not sure how we missed that the first time we visited the playzeum. The walls are painted with neon paint, a light flashes, and it imprints their shadow on the wall for several seconds. It was really cool actually. Here he is playing in that room. Doesnt' look like much in the photo though.

Chloe, still not tall enough to get up on the platforms without a nudge.
