I was determined to enjoy my weekend with the boys this weekend and canceled any appointments that I had this weekend. Nick, Alex, David, and I had a good time this weekend which means that laundry didn't get done and the house is a mess, but the end result was a fun weekend. Even if the house is a mess I wouldn't change a thing about this weekend.
On Saturday we went to The Choo Choo Restaurant which is thankfully close by. The restaurant has a S-gauge electric train deliver your order to you and the boys just loved it. Nick, the picky eater, ate an entire grilled cheese sandwich, an order of french fries, and a cup cake. And, the grilled cheese sandwich was eaten BEFORE any dessert was consumed.
When I was a kid I always loved to build forts made out of bedsheets and the living room furniture. I don't think that I've given up on that because secretly I cannot wait until the boys are a little older and we can build blanket forts in our living room. Last night we slept on the sleeper sofa in the living room and the boys were over the moon for it. I know that they won't be able to resist my grand plan for a blanket fort this summer!
Today we went went to the Museum of Science and Industry. Nick and Alex followed directions and didn't run off which made the visit that much more fun. We even stopped to pick up a couple of those molded plastic trains - the kind that we used to get as kids and the smell of melted plastic brought me back. Of course, I could have sworn that when we were kids the things were made out of wax and not plastic. I think I still have my blue dolphin from the Shedd Aquarium.
It's fun weekends that make me want to find more fun things to do with the boys. When we first had them it was hard to find fun things because they were stroller bound and lugging around a stroller for 2 kids was so cumbersome. Plus, they are more active and they tell us what they're thinking when we go to the museums and zoos. I always knew being a parent was cool, but it's even more cool lately.
