Though it rained for most of the weekend, two little boys clearly started feeling better (the antibiotics kicked in by Friday evening), sleeping better, and acting happier. Between rainfall, we spent every dry moment outdoors in 60-degree weather. We took a nice afternoon walk to the Loop for a shared smoothie and some sunshine on our faces; Milo and Oliver rode in the double stroller and Emil alternated between walking and riding on my back.
But most of the weekend was spent indoors while the rain came down in sheets just beyond our windows. Emil was still pretty cranky and obviously not completely recovered, but Oliver’s mood was greatly improved. He found his manners and was agreeable and loving and cuddly all weekend long. Thank goodness!
On Saturday night, my wonderful friend Ingrid snuck me out of the house for a couple of hours after the kids went to bed. We went to The Fountain, which I vowed to check out again in daylight. Seems very kid-friendly, and their ice cream martinis (!) are amazing! It was hard to stop at just one…
… and I had a lot more pictures to share from the weekend; unfortunately, Flickr is acting up and I was unable to retrieve them this time around. I’m hoping the issue is resolved soon (poor Andrew was trying to figure out what was wrong for so long last night, as I certainly had no idea where to start)! If not, I’ll be up and posting as soon as I can!
I am feeling rejuvenated after such a restful weekend, and feel like a whole new person. Thank you for all of your kind comments on Friday’s post. It is so good to hear that others are going through similar things- especially with such young kids.
How adorable are they! I am glad that they are feeling better.
Glad you were able to enjoy some good weather and some time to yourself, and that everyone is getting healthy. It always does get better!
You live in St Louis?! Holy buckets! 🙂
I didn’t know what… I guess I should’ve? I live near Springfield.
Glad your boys are feeling better! 70 degrees this Friday.. hopefully you get some of that warm weather up your way too!
Uuuummm…LOVE that picture of you looking all mischievous with a drink in your hand. Love it. What a fun looking weekend.
Great to hear that you had a bit of time to yourself over the weekend – that ice-cream martini sounds delicious!
You look so cute for your night out on the town with your friend! Thank goodness she rescued you for a bit – you deserved a little grown-up fun! Speaking of which, that ice cream martini looks SO DARN GOOD.
