Mostly back to normal

We seem to mostly have shaken the sickies - except for mommy - but since mommy doesn't get to stop everything when she's sick, life has mostly been normal this week (plus I really felt fine until today) 

This week has been full of fun adventures - preschool, the library, piano lessons, and school.  Evie loves going to preschool!  She loves her preschool friends and getting to learn and play, and she loves her teachers!  James and I have been having fun hanging out at the mall play area while she's at preschool - and James loves the time with mommy's attention and getting to run around and play. 

James has gotten really clingy and we are trying to get him to be a bit more independent - he want's to be carried everywhere - in fact - Dan and I had to deal with at least 6-7 massive tantrums from him today during church because he wanted to be carried  - not sat with, not played with - carried.  The problem is that he's just getting to big to carry everywhere - especially when mommy isn't feeling so good.  :)  He's become quite a chatter box too - he is always chattering at me and telling me things and showing me things and trying to drag me to where he wants me.  It's always amazing to see how quickly he learns. 

Monday was President's day and we took the chance to enjoy a day off school and a sunny day to go to the zoo.  The kids all had a really fun time - and were really good about staying close to me - the zoo was packed because of the holiday and so I was nervous about them running off or getting too far away - but they all did really well - which made the day enjoyable for me too. 

James, I think, enjoyed it the most - he LOVED to see the animals and could only be dragged away from the current animal by the promise of the next one.  His favorite animal though was the "Water Tigers"  We saw the sea lions playing and stopped to watch them - James talked about the "water tigers" for the next 2 days straight.
