Powers

I think it is safe to say Everett's super power is not the ability to keep his sensitive eyes open on days where the sun is out in any capacity....

Party of One

On the downside, I've had a stomach bug this weekend.  On the farther down side, Meggan put me in quarantine, so my Superbowl party was a party of one. Oh well, at least nobody was talking over the commercials....or busted me watching the Puppy Bowl.

Review

Amelia asked me to look back to see the first picture on my phone.  I really had no guess as to what it would be or when it was from.  It turns out, it reminded me of a few things...


1) my kids are adorable

2) my kids have gotten way too big

3) I should look back at old photos more often

4) It's time for me to get a new phone

Missed

Meggan has returned home from her trip to Philadelphia.  In case she had any doubts how much she was missed, Everett made her this...whatever it is....


"Love you, Mommy.  Hope you like my picture"

Partied Out

Despite being sick all week, I went out to a comedy show Friday night. Everett had a sleepover with his best buddy last night.  While Everett was partying hard, Amelia and I took in our 5th annual Daddy/Daughter dance.  This has put us in the perfect storm where all three of us are tired and grumpy.  The fourth corner piece of this puzzle is Meggan left for a work trip today.  So, you can make that tired, grumpy, and alone with each other.  I'm not sure all three of us are going to survive the week....and I'm pretty sure I'm the weakest animal in this wilderness.  They looked pretty happy (and tired) at lunch today, but I think they were just excited to be powering up for their mutiny...

Review

Here is a review of our day away....

We started off with delicious donuts....of which Everett took mine and ate it....

 Everett worked on his style while we hit a few stores (no, I did not buy this hat)....

We repeatedly rode the elevator up and down as Everett decided to stick his butt to the glass for the people below...

We had a very traditional pajama/Lego battle in the bed...

Return

The men have made their return from our annual overnight stay of fun and mayhem.  I'll post pictures tomorrow.  For now, just know we packed in eating donuts, playing games at Dave and Buster's,  swimming at the hotel pool, going to the movies, riding go-karts, shopping at the mall, watching football, and ordering room service into one day.
