Around, Around, Around We Go....

Our insanely busy week has finally come to a close. It was fun (and exhausting) while it lasted though! Aiden is becoming quite the well-traveled little boy and he's definitely like me in that he prefers to be constantly on the go versus lazing around the house.

Some of the highlights included:


Checking out our states capital building - from the outside - with Jen (you can't see Aiden but I promise he was excited)




Playing with the drums at the Children's Museum (although that's pretty much all he could play with and we didn't stay very long because of it)


Going to Gymboree Play & Learn was probably Aiden's favorite activity. He got to kick a ball, play airplane on mommy, catch bubbles, sing, dance, clap, and practice crawling/walking up ramps. He laughed the entire time and seemed to be the life of the party. We've signed up for unlimited classes for a month, and I'm planning on dragging him to Mommy and Baby fitness on Tuesdays. We both had a BLAST though.

Aiden went to his Grandma Williams' house on Thursday so Tom and I could spend some time together. We went and checked out the brand new apartments that are being built on TT/Meadowbrook and fell madly in love with them. We're talking 9ft cielings, brand new appliances, secured entrance, TWO bathrooms, a breakfast bar, the ability to paint colors on the wall, a fitness center, giant windows, underground parking, and a washer and dryer in the unit! There was nothing we didn't like. So, hopefully we will be heading over yonder when our lease ends on this shithole. Anyway, despite the fact that we never wanted to leave that place, we decided to go paint pottery at A Touch of Glaze. Some stupid salt & pepper shakers took us like 3 hours to finish.



I'll let you take one guess as to who painted what



Then finally, today, we hiked it back over to Milwaukee to visit Mel and her new son Brendan at the hospital. I couldn't believe how TINY he was (Aiden was that small?? When??). Holding him increased my desire to have another one and I have noooooo idea how I'm going to wait the 2 years that I've already promised Tom. Aiden couldn't really figure out what was going on or why all the attention wasn't on him for once.
After the baby snuggles, we went to a flea market in Mukwonago with Tom's mom. It was perfect outside and Aiden was an angel the entire time.

Aiden has been passing out around 7pm every night due to all the fun and excitement. This week should be a bit more mellow, but I don't think that's such a good thing. We both get crabby when we're stuck in the house for too long.

I'm off to go relax and take a breather.
