Emergency Day at COSI

On Saturday, the kids and I spent the day at COSI. In the wake of the Hurricane Ike and all the damage it did to our city, COSI decided to partner with other organizations to have Emergency Day. The kids got to explore the inside of a Med flight helicopter, an ambulance, firetruck, a bomb command ctr, and the highway patrol. We knew Papa would like that. We then went inside to have some fun. The kids got to go to every area. Thank goodness, I bought our sitter Courtnee with us because I would have lost and left a child there. The kids loved kidspace and Preston loved the turtles. They also liked ocean and Progress (mommy's favorite). All and all we had a great time and a very busy weekend. I had to hurry and rush home so we could have our much needed adults only night out.

Boo at the Zoo

On Friday night, Geoff and I decided to take the kids to the zoo. We don't get to the zoo that often and Paige has been asking to go. They had Boo at the Zoo with various trick or treat stations. The kids got the see 2 brown bears up close and a tiger. After a while, it got very dark so we really couldn't see the animals. Good thing, mommy bought a season pass. We will be able anytime we want.

Happy Birthday Papa

Sorry I am a little behind. On Oct 12th, we celebrated my dad's 62nd birthday. All my parents neighbors came over to celebrate the big dinner. My sister and I got him a Cleveland Browns jersey, which he swore brought them good luck over the win against the Giants. Not sure what happened last weekend.

Go Browns!!!!!!!!!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, my mom and I decided take my brother's girls and my kids to the pumpkin patch. It was one of the best pumpkin patches I have been too. There was so much for the kids to do and it was a wonderful fall day. They had a camels, goats, and chickens, a corn pit, corn maze, face painting, and lots of things to climb and swing on.
