Hotel Mishap

On Wednesday of last week, we all loaded up in the car bright and early in the morning and headed to Birmingham with Brian. He had a boring business meeting and me and the kids had a (what one would think) a fun day planned at the zoo. We had packed a picnic lunch and we got to the zoo about 9:30. We enjoyed our time there, seeing all different types of animals, petting some, and then riding the train. The fun stopped immediately as we were loaded up in the car. That's when Logan decided he needed to teetee in his pants. Lovely. So, I changed his clothes, breaking all indecent exposure laws, and loaded him up in the car so we can go check in to our hotel. After picking up Brian from his meeting, we ended up having a wonderful meal at Logan's Roadhouse and then we settled back into the hotel for the night. We "thought" since the kids literally walked the entire zoo, that they would be exhausted. Wrong. They played and played until about 8:00 and then we tucked them into their beds. After an hour of trying to get them to sleep, they finally calmed down. Well, Logan apparently didn't sleep that well because he was spinning like a helicopter all night long. So much, in fact, that he fell right out of the bed, hit his adorable face on the night stand, leaving this "lovely" mark on his face. Of course, my mother's instinct picked up as he was mid-air and I jumped over Brian to get to him to make sure he was okay. The rest of the night, Logan kept lifting his face and gently rubbing his face. I could tell it was bruised and every time I woke the rest of the night I would think "oh my, what if he needs surgery on his face from breaking his cheekbone!" I was soo worried that he had broken a bone. Thank the Lord that once morning came, I was able to tell that he did not hit his cheekbone. This boy has got to have a bunch of guardian angels watching over him because with as many falls as he has taken, we've never had a broken bone.

The rest of the weekend, was about as adventurous as the night spent in the hotel. The children acted horribly the next morning. (probably exhausted from the looonnng night) and I was about in tears most of the morning. Also, I am pretty sure that I gained a stress fracture in my right foot from walking all day, pushing 60 lbs in a double stroller and then jogging that night on the treadmill at the hotel.

We are glad to be back home and back into a routine. We are looking forward to a fun week of WEE School, pumpkin patch field trip with friends, and school pictures to be taken on Wednesday!

I hope everyone has a great week!
