Labor Day

After spending over a week at home with sick kids, we HAD to get out of the house!  So we headed to the zoo this morning for a little while.  I tried to get Brett to wear his sunglasses.  He thought they were pretty fun and was hamming it up for us.  And then he tore them off and played with them.  He sure looked cute if I say so myself!  And can you believe how BIG he's getting?!  He'll be a year old next month!

You know you live in Arizona when you use blankets to keep COOL.  I love using these Aiden and Anais blankets when it's hot.  First I get it soaked in cold water and then I surround the stroller with it.  It creates a nice little swamp cooler for our stroller.  We soaked it again a couple times during our outing today.  I also brought a mini spray bottle full of water and we sprayed each other with it when we got to hot.

Brett is pretty much totally over being sick, and Grant is almost better.  He won't be going to school tomorrow though.  Hopefully a couple more days of laying low at home will get him back up and running like new again.

We sure are glad we got out to do something fun today.  We had a great time together. Then tonight we had my parents over for dinner and a grueling game of Scrabble.  It was a good day.
