Bottled Energy

If I could bottle the energy Oliver has had this week I'd be a happier Marmee and I'd probably be rich. Because it's been so terribly humid, hot and sticky out we've been cooped up indoors since last week. On top of that Daddy and I are both getting over a yucky sickness, our own energy levels have been depleted.

That said it's been pretty tough around here. Oliver can be heard saying "I'm not mad at you" and "it's okay Marmee, it's goin' be okay". Poor guy. I am pretty positive we've been unbearable to be around this week and probably not very patient.

Today I took Oliver and Lucius to an indoor play land to burn off some steam. Half way there I realized I forgot socks- which are required to play. Augh. Thankfully Auntie Mick was home, grabbed some socks for the boys, put Casen in the car and headed right over. What a life saver, seriously. She sat and watched Lucius in the infant/ toddler section while Oliver played in the tunnels and giant ball pit for the bigger kids.
