The daily grind

Things are settling down nicely.  We are now in week 3 of back to work mode and our routine is going fairly well.  Both Owen and Griffin are doing great at daycare.  Griffin just got over his first cold (other than the one he had at a week old!) and now Owen has it.  Even though we were fighting off colds we all managed to escape the stomach flu that a lot of our friends ended up getting on the weekend, and it was a nasty one!  We had it good with Owen only throwing up once.  I'll take that over 3 full days of it! 

This past weekend was Labour Day weekend.  We had early dismissal on Friday so Chris and I went out for lunch for the first time in ages.  The on Saturday we (Owen, Griff and I)  went to little Lily's first birthday party.  Sunday we had brunch at Will and Dolores' (Chris' aunt and uncle) and I had planned a surprise bday party for Chris' 30th, but the flu had spread like wild fire after Lily's party, there was no one left to come, so it ended up just being us and Steph for Chinese food and Big Brother :)  We still had fun!  On Monday we had a lazy day, fighting off sickness.

The boys are doing great, Owen is expressing himself more and more every day, sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it.  On Sunday he decided to show off some new words, told me I was "stupid" and told his father to "shut up".....I think we need to monitor his Nickelodeon viewings a little better.   Griffin is trying to keep up and said Mama the other night.  I was reading a book and he was in the exersaucer playing.  He was yelling (not crying, not chattering, yelling) and I looked over and he was staring me down saying "Mum mum mum, mumma!" He is also saying "hi" which is too cute.  You say Hi!  and he goes "Hiiiiii!!!"  I will try to get a video of it, I think I need to stick my camera in my pocket because the moment is always ruined when I go running for it.  He is also sitting up quite well now :)
