az science center, the hyatt, and vegan cookies.

Monday, may 31, 2010. we decided yesterday that today would be a better day to take the boys to the museum. levi and i went to check out the SCIENCE CENTER with our free passes and papa took abraham to check out the climber at the CHILDREN'S MUSEUM. the beauty of this set up was that joshua dropped us off and picked us up, so i didn't have to worry about crappy downtown parking. (i'm cheap, i know). after the museum, we walked over to the HYATT and played on the escalators and elevators. then we headed to CONSPIRE COFFEE to get vegan doughnuts, but the vendor went out of business so we got cookies and scones instead. a GOOD TIME was had by all. that is until about 12:30 am when abe called out from his crib in a strange soft voice saying "mommy, come here. mommy come here." the poor kiddo was covered in PUKE!!! (didn't he just puke last sunday?)needless to say it was a long night but, joshua and i have a whole system for nights like these. total TEAM WORK!

i saw levi go in the house with joshua. i was pushing abe in the swing while joshua put chairs on the table so i could mop. i went back in the house and couldn't find levi anywhere. i freaked and went outside to ask joshua if he had seen him. he said no, but when i went back in i could hear levi laughing. he was HIDING behind the couch cushions. i should have realized that the little blue boot didn't belong on the couch. he SO got me!
