how has it already been ten years since we graduated college?! being back on campus and running into familiar faces made it feel like we were living there yesterday - minus the two 30-pound human weights we were carrying around. we all had a blast tailgating and going to the football game, and the kids did surprisingly well with all the noise and chaos!
 |
the reunion began friday morning with brunch at ella's
(not going to complain) |
 |
| making room in his bladder for the upcoming beer consumption |
 |
our tailgate happened to be next to a bunch of drunk college kids...
liv and jacks fit right in |
 |
| mom and baby selfie |
 |
| milk break |
 |
| they were actually mesmerized by the half time show...the only time they were stationary |
 |
| jeremy, nat, john, jacks |
other than reunion weekend, we've just been hanging around. the three of us hit up the pediatrician for a flu shot and then headed to the brand new city target, which is absolutely amazing considering it's 3 blocks away. ironically, the three of us have also been sick for the past several days (not sure how john has escaped it!), and you'd be surprised how target has helped - not only for last minute medicine runs, but also as an amusement park. leanne had the brilliant idea of taking them there one cold and dreary morning for entertainment. what better place to go at 9am (when it's empty) to ride the escalators and elevators, keep warm, and play in the toy aisles!
 |
| they survived their flu shots (although there were many tears leading up to it) |
 |
| for being such troopers, we were all rewarded with a trip to the new target! |
 |
| they picked out fire trucks to bring home |
 |
| while everyone was stretching, our munchkins were guarding the goal |
 |
there is nothing more fun for these two than parachute time...
because it signals that stamps are next! |

sickness has spread through our family from livi to jacks to me....
poor guy just rode around with john all afternoon |
 |
| not even a hat from the fire station could cheer him up! |
 |
| the ladies at the dry cleaners always offer a wafer cookie when we stop by |
 |
| do you know the muffin man? |
 |
| smiles all around after an almond croissant! |
 |
| leanne took the kids out to meet some pumpkins |
 |
the kids treated the the poor little pumpkins like balls...
not a good outcome for the pumpkins |
 |
| washing dishes...she learned from the best! |
