Another day of sleeping in makes for a nice morning! We were at the fire station by 10:00 for a fire safety class for you, Aidan. Alaina, you were too old for the class but I was hoping they'd let you do some stuff. First, the fire firefighter talked about fire saftey and then we broke up into groups to spray the fire hose, tour the trucks, and try on the gear. You both were very interested in everything! Aidan, you were a little sad at the end when we didn't win a prize but we decided we would go buy our own 2nd story ladder (which is the prize Mommy wanted).

Alaina, you started to say she was tired in the car which worried me because you never, ever admit you are tired! I was worried that you were sick. We headed to Edina to run some errands anyway and you did fine but were quiet. We had a picnic lunch at my work since I had to stop there for a few things, then we went to the library, and finally ran by the Value Village to drop off some donations. We said good-bye to your old bikes since you both got new ones recently. On the way home I was worried that you were going to get sick on the way home but you were a trooper and just rested your head on your knees!

When we got home you got a throw-up bucket and settled on the couch. You fell asleep quickly and Aidan and I tried to be quiet but we weren't too successful. You woke up crying and had a low-grade fever but then calmed down. Daddy woke up around 3:00 and he took over so I could take a nap. When I woke up everyone seemed fine and we had dinner before heading out for the evening.

We spent the evening hanging out with the neighbors and you guys stayed up way too late!

Good night,

Mommy
