18 February - just one of those days

 Today has just been one of those days - actually, the last week has been "just one of those days."  Will & I have both been sick with bad colds.  Will had a fever last week & is still coughing & sniffling, & my cold has turned into a sinus infection (really not fun). Then again, I realize we could be a lot worse off & remind myself to be grateful for the health that we do have.

Because we've been enjoying such amazing weather lately, I thought it would be a nice break from the stuffy indoors if we played outside for a bit. We started in the backyard & eventually ended up in the park for about two hours.

Will's favorite thing to do at the park - pile bark onto the slide & then throw it off again. He also went down the slide for the first time on his own - I was too paranoid to try taking any pictures. He would go running toward the top of the slide so fast (causing another mom to come running over in a panic because she thought he was about to fall over the edge) & then get down on his hands & knees, spin a 180, & go flying down backwards on his tummy (the first time, he almost went down head first, but I caught him by the diaper just in time).

After getting home from the park, we snuggled up on the sofa & watched Elmo's World - I was feeling too dumpy to care that he was watching a movie (which I've been trying to avoid). Towards the end of the movie, Will fell asleep on me, & I was close to conking out too.

We were so glad when Scott got home - it feels like we haven't seen him in so long! We celebrated his return with pork salads from Costa Vida (which he brought home for us), followed by a second showing of Elmo's World.
