today.

bo and i had a rough night. we didn't pull into the garage till close to 11pm after a fun filled birthday party in salt lake. i spent half the night awake with pregnancy pain and bowen spent the next half coughing, crying, fevering and needing some love {which i was happy to offer.} so needless to say, morning came quick at our house and the two of us spent it laying on my bed watching movies.

soon enough, i felt rested, and bowen was well drugged and begging to play. of course the problem with a sick toddler is that they over-exert themselves the second they feel a little better so i wanted to take it slow. luckily we agreed on painting.....

and while we painted we chatted. he told me all about his birthday. something we now talk about on a regular basis. i'm sure attending other parties lately could be the culprit, but whatever it is, bowen has been planning his big day for some time now. and every time a new activity is added to the agenda. so far this is the plan:

"we can go swimming with havyn, krew, grandma and papa.

i will wear my spiderman goggles so i can swim like a fish.

then we will go to spiderman/batman in the theatre as a family.

with popcorn.

and i will play soccer with all my friends.

and i will win!

cause i'm a good kicker, huh?!

and we can go to a roller-coaster so we can all say "weeeeeeeeeeeee"

we will eat cake AND cupcakes

and i think i will get a new shirt."

let's just hope that the list doesn't get longer since we still have four months to go. i'm a little worried how we'll squeeze this all into one day. but i just don't have the heart to tell him.

the rest of the day was laundry, dishes, and cleaning all intertwined with lots of hugs and kisses.

bliss.
