A great weekend.

Well the boys stayed home from school on Friday and I did get a call today that Coltan does not have Mono. But the other test results aren't in yet. I will probably have them late afternoon or tomorrow morning. Saturday I decided to get all of us out of the house, I'm just tired of sitting around everyday so thought what the heck. We ended up going to the train show down at American Royal. Not as exciting as I thought it would be but Carson was in heaven. They only had about 8 trains set up and then the other 80% of the exhibits was people selling stuff. I did however buy Carson a train whistle with Thomas the Train and I bought him a really cool lunch box with a Thomas the train cup with straw in it. I'm thinking how exciting it could be to make our lunch and put it in the Thomas the Train and eat it. Doesn't that sound like a great bribe to you?

After that, we left and went to Fritz and Co. I will post those pictures tomorrow since I have a lot between the two. Carson ate a whole hot dog and some french fries. I couldn't believe my eyes.

So Saturday night I decided to go out for a bit. Yes, I left my house without my kids and it felt great. Since I have some followers that shouldn't be here, I will elaborate later. I was home in time for his 12:30AM feeding so it wasn't like I was out all night. But to that special someone, thanks for giving me some wonderful adult conversation and making my Saturday night very special. I had a great time. Looking forward to it again soon.

Here are the pictures of us at the train show. Carson actually fell asleep in the car and we let him sleep until we got inside the show. Coltan and Cody ready to have some fun.......thanks for going with us and acting like you had a good time. They told me that the caramel popcorn was the highlight of the show. I understood completely. I only wish they had more trains set up for us to watch.

Watching the train and still holding his own.

I took this picture because it reminded me of my Grandfather. When I was growing up he owned several gas stations. (YOU KNOW, WHEN GAS WAS UNDER A BUCK!!!). I spent a lot of time in the stations, running tows with him, and playing in the service bay. I would ride up and down with the cars but I didn't get to come down until they were done working on the car. It was a great way for my Grandpa to watch me while I was with him. LOL

Here is another pic of mommy and Carson.
