I had taken a half day off of work yesterday and today. Yesterday, Patri and I had just a girls' day - slowly meandering through the aisles of shoes and racks of clothes. We refueled at a little Thai restaurant in Hyde Park before heading to work. Today was spent with the kids. Owen had decided he was boycotting the car. This made for a very long 20 mile drive to the Children's Museum with crying, screaming, shouting, and fit throwing. Once we arrived, angelic Owen returned fully - holding hands, listening, playing, smiles, the works. This place is awesome and I can't believe I haven't been here before. We spend a short 1 hr 15 min in this place when we could spend 3 hrs. The museum is actual an old train terminal that was transformed to a museum so it is quite majestic as you enter the building. After closing down the museum and an ice cream treat later, it was back to the car and off to dinner. About 2 car lengths away from the car, there was another switch and we endured more screaming, crying, and shouts of 'let me out mommy' until he decided to take a nap. Dinner was a repeat of the same and after the ride home, we decided a nightcap was desperately needed. For those who might think I'm exaggerating, Patri did capture this on tape. We could do nothing but laugh at how ludicrous it was.

I believe Deetz was called during the last and worst of the tantrums and decided she was coming down with a two-week bug and they couldn't make it out here.
