A busy week and the return of cold weather

Cold weather has return to the midwest again, after fighting the cold wind home I realized it's only Monday and this work week is going to suck.

A couple of weekends ago Bailey and I went to my late grandmother's farm in Fredonia, Kansas to visit my uncle Jack and his family. There isn't much to do out there in the country for a toddler so I always bring a sack of toys along for the trip. Guess I should have known with Bailey that she keeps herself entertained pretty easily. Since it was a nice warm day we spent some of it outdoors picking up sticks.

She could have spent all day gathering every little stick out in the yard but eventually she had to come in to play with an old kitchen set that my aunt had around.

Last Sunday we rewarded Bailey with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese for earning stickers for good behavior. We invited her day care friend Alex to come along. When we arrived I was first with watching the two kids in the toddler area while James went to go pay for the pizza. No big deal, I was able to keep them both entertain at the slide and Bob the Builder ride. After James arrived with more tokens, I went to a game that I know I can win tons of tickets from. James and I usually win most of the tickets so that Bailey can at least get something more than candy. I don't think I was gone for more than a couple minutes when I see James dragging two kids through the maze of games looking for me. Well, the two toddlers may have been a bit too much for James but at least Bailey and Alex had a good time.

This coming Friday Bailey and I will be back in Fredonia to attend my cousin's baby shower. The last photo is taken from the porch of my grandmother's house in 65 degree weather, I'm hoping for nice weather again like the last visit.
