Escape to the Lake!

We came to Thursday this week, which is usually our Evie day, and Noah was rocking a 101 fever. So Evie stayed home. Faced with the prospect of handling the 2 boys and a time change prep on my own while Mike worked, I decided to make a run for my parents lakehouse. It was a lovely weekend of fort building and Wii playing.

Sam has had cradle cap on and off for awhile. This weekend I decided to treat it with some petroleum jelly on the scalp. This resulted in some awesome hair styling fun. My dad said he looked like a certain german dictator... perhaps...
We did a little seasonal maintenance around the house. This included removal of the abandoned birds nests from the deck area. Noah was pretty impressed with the bird houses.
Noah's lack of appropriate winter gear for raking resulted in a Dollar Store trip. He ended up with a pair of spiderman slipper socks.
And a Spiderman hat/mitten set. Pretty lucky boy!

While the boys didn't get the memo about the time change (Noah was up at 4am on Sunday, and Sam reverted to waking up once at night to eat), we had a great time and it was a welcome break for mommy. Thanks Bamma and Bampa!
