Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!

So while my mom is in town we were planning on doing a ton of fun things outside. Those activities included (but were not limited to) : going on numerous walks, playing at different parks, going swimming & to the spray ground. I guess there is supposed to be rain or a thunderstorm almost everyday! BOOOOOOOOOO - So now I have a toddler who feels couped up, is irritated that we aren't "going away", and throwing fits when the dog gets to go outside in the wet grass.

Maybe what I need to do is this: Instead of making plans to be outside (as this always causes it to rain), we will make plans to hang out inside and then it will be nice out!

We are going to go for ice cream tonight - I am sure it will be busy, but I am even more certain that Aiden will go crazy for his own cone. I once made the mistake of getting him a twist ice cream cone - wont be doing that again....What a mess. Chocolate is not a toddler's friend. I am also guessing he will be getting a bath when we get home. Poor Graham will be left out of the ice cream social...If only he was a little older! Not that I am wishing for that, I wish time would slow down sometimes.

On a different note, I think I am getting sick. What I thought were just some allergies (runny nose, cough, congestion) is getting worse....I fear that everyone else will get it too. Which will not be fun. I am NEVER sick. Graham has never been sick. Aiden has had 2 rounds with a runny nose in his whole 2 1/2 years. Needless to say, not looking forward to what is around the corner.

We will be seeing the G.G.'s soon - and that is what I am most nervous for. My grandmother gets sick with the common cold, but instead of it lasting a couple days it wipes her out for a month. I am praying that does not occur. I am going to pump myself with vitamins in hopes I am in tip top shape for our visit!
