What a day!

I am exhausted.  Of course, instead of resting, I find myself blogging.

After our scrumptious breakfast yesterday morning, we spend the rest of the afternoon and early evening with my husband's family and extended family for a reunion.  The kids were tired and wired from playing and not napping.

Today, I made banana waffles for breakfast and then we headed to the Chili Cook-off happening near our home.  We tasted some delicious chili of all sorts and were able to vote for our favorites.  My husband loves chili and was partially in heaven.  I think the whining of our son for a carousel ride kept him from fully enjoying his chili.  


Once we arrived back home, I tried to get the little guy down for a nap without success.  The big guy fell asleep and my husband was off to a Spring Training game with a friend.  I was finally able to get the little one down for a bit.  It was at this point that I decided to make myself chocolate cake in a mug! It came out quite dry and I think it's due to the fact it cooked too long. Once they both awoke, they were in terrible moods.  The eldest whined about everything and the youngest cried about everything.  At this point, I also noticed that the little one had a rash on his forehead, temples, brown, and nose. After an hour or so, I needed to get out of the house before I started whining and crying.

We initially set out to find horses (which there really are none near our home) but changed plans to go get ice cream instead.  There is a great place a few miles from our home, Yollipop, that sells self-serve frozen yogurt - but everything there is either lactose/dairy/sugar/gluten/fat free.  The sugar free flavor today was blueberry and the best part is that it is sweetened with Stevia.

We headed back home to meet up with Daddy and the whining/crying began again and continued until bedtime.


Where's my beer?  I need it.
