El Paseo of Sickness

Well clearly I survived Black Friday. I went Thursday night got my entire list. I also got my friend's entire list while she kept my children. I have decided Black Friday is basically a competition between women to see who can be the biggest bitch. I look forward to it again next year :) Did anyone else go and conquer the madness? What was the main thing on your list? For me, my biggest goal was to make sure Christmas brought an influx of more pink and girliness to the toys around here.

Saturday was spent with visiting family. We took them to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History with our membership. If you ever come to the area, GO! It's great for all ages but their childrens areas are fantastic. Every kid I have ever been there with had a blast. Right now the traveling exhibit there is Titanic(they switch out the big exhibit often, its always fun and interactive). When we finished we went for Mexican and spent the rest of the day home, watching the cousins play together and playing some board games. They stayed the night and headed home the next morning.

A few hours later, I was throwing up the taco salad I had eaten at said Mexican joint. A few people said it wasnt food poisoning cus it had been too long. However, after spending the entire day puking ground beef, Im not sure. No one else had ground beef and no else got sick..So I'm raising my eyebrow at the restaraunt. So I spent Sunday and Monday on the couch and the bathroom. Monday afternoon I finally started feeling better.

Today, I decided to take to little kiddos to their playdate at the local mall playground with some friends. They played a long time and really enjoyed themselves. Wore them out just enough to come home and take a nap so I could clean. I plan to put up our tree this weekend so Im trying to get things extra spiffy. Im so anxious about it. In one way I cant wait because well I love Christmas trees. On the other hand, Im so nervous about how the kids are going to treat it. I cant help but wonder how much time I will be spending cleaning up what they pull off of it all day. Does anyone have this issue with their babies or toddlers? Advice?

When we got to the playground today, I took off their coats and hats. Lorelai literally yelled at me for this. So I put it back on her and she was happy as can be. Wore it the entire time we were there. Silly girl.
