It's nice to get out and enjoy the 30 degree weather!

I feel like this sign describes my house right now....The last month has been quite boring around here. With me not feeling quite up to par I've hung close to home. And the weather has been quite chilly here. We received more snow, on top of the previous snow that has still not melted away from Januarys BIG storm. The kids have been great at finding creative things to fill the time. And then, last Sunday Brooklyn, Madison and Cam had some fun RED, ichcy spots show up! First thought was just a few bug bites, but then the fever kicked in the more spots appeared... CHICKEN POX!

So we've been stuck in the house all week. I have to say that I am actually quite glad they had them and now do not have to worry about getting them later... since obviously the immunization did not keep them away. Mr. Logan just had his 2nd booster before Kindergarten, so I'm thinking that is why he did not get them. And littlest Corbin had his shot just a year ago. Who knows....
Now that their spots are scabbed over and they are no longer contagious we needed to get out. So, after we picked up Logan from school, I took the kids down to Riverfront Park so they could get out some WAY bottled up energy. This is such a fun place to just go and walk around. Cam was to scared at first to go up on the wagon slide so he stayed down.

We also had to get some fun shots of Madison with flat Stanley that her cousin Connor had mailed to her.

Cameron did eventually go down the fun slide.

Corbin loved the ducks in the river.

Then we had a qiuck ride on the Carousel horses... my kids LOVE them!

Except for Corbin who was not quite so sure....
