We started the day with Raz’s birthday party this morning at Pump It Up.  The boys were excited about going to play at the bouncy houses and seeing Rohan too. As soon as we were let in the playroom, both boys were immediately drawn to the big blocks on the ground.  They spent a lot of time building with those, and even Rohan joined them when he arrived.  A long while later the boys finally migrated over to play in other bouncy houses.  Between the two playrooms, Connor went down the slides several times while Logan still preferred just the jumpy houses where he played with basketball or battling.  Later Stuart and I played a game of ice hockey, and the boys played one too.  When we were moved onto the party room, all of us ate well before saying goodbye to our friends.

   
     Afterward, we drove over to my hospital for the annual Fall Family Festival.  We arrived before the start of the event, but the line had already formed.  We lined up at the registration just right in front of Thuy and Thai, so we chatted.  Afterward we headed straight over to get flu shots where we saw Kathy and Selina.  We told the boys what we were there for and they did not seem too scared by it.  While we were waiting, Stuart and I decided to let the boys get the shots instead of the FluMist so we did not have to worry if the boys would inhale it properly.  After a relatively quick wait, it was our turn.  Logan just then got nervous and did not want to get the shot.  The nurse suggested giving it to Stuart and I first, then it was Logan’s turn.  I held him on my lap; Logan was quite scared but the shot was given before he complained too much.  Connor was watching all these without looking too worried.  He even had a smile on his face while watching Logan.  Connor sat on me and received his with only a slight twinge.  After we left the flu shot room, we walked back out to the parking lot to check out the festivities.  Since we all just ate, we just looked at different booths and picked up some freebies.  We lined up to take a family photo and Connor got to enjoy a popsicle while we waited.   The boys watched a health promotion with people doing some aerobics briefly, then we took off to go home.

    Stuart had a funeral service to attend this late afternoon, so he got ready when the rest of us napping and taking quiet time.  The boys and I spent the rest of days playing a game of Memoir 44 and Legos together.  Then I made dinner for us and got the evening routine rolling.  We were all so happy to see daddy arrive just right before reading time.
