So much has happened since we came home from vacation! Ben got Cooper's virus, an so did Jack. I felt awful on the ride home but was okay once we got here, and Harry did not get sick (knock wood).
While Ben and Jack laid around sick, I took Harry and Cooper to the zoo. Cooper squawked a lot, but Harry loved it and chatted constantly. He also rode the merry-go-round on an up and down animal which he almost never does.
Becca and Ryan and their 3 boys came to Madison for the week! They stayed with us for the first 2 nights, but then our house got ripped up by the flooring company, so they spent another 2 nights at a downtown hotel. The kids and I hung out downtown yesterday, and Becca and the boys came over for one last playdate today. The kids had a great time! Jack really misses "West."
Cooper, James, and coffee
Jack and Wes at the park (we had lunch right before this and 3/6 kids cried. I forgot Harry's sandwich but offered him a giant cookie for lunch, but he lost his shit anyway, poor guy.
On Wednesday,
Amy and her ids came to town for the day/night. We braved Panera with all the kids for lunch. Loud, loud lunch.
We had dinner at our favorite local pizza place that has a downstairs playroom that the kids LOVED. They also cleaned it up in record time because the big kids read a sign that said they'd get a prize if they cleaned the playroom. We also had pie and or cupcakes and tried to get a smiling picture of the whole crowd.
Thursday, the floor people came, and the kids and I were sequestered in the basement. We had a sad basement lunch. (I ate a naked salad with my fingers. The kids fared much better).
We met the Academomia crew by the lake for a walk
Spontaneous hand holding
Today, Harry built this guy whom he named 29-armed Larry.
We finished our week of friends with a lunch at Chipotle.
And Orange Leaf
The boys miss their Texas friends, but they were all thrilled when Harry found 3 Buzz Lightyear costumes.

And our brand new hickory floors!
