Muffins with Mom

Today was "Muffins with Mom" for the preschoolers. I was able to take the morning off from work and enjoy time with Jakob. Every month a grade has "Muffins with Mom" on a Friday, where Mom's come in and enjoy muffins, fresh fruit, juice and coffee with their child (put on by the PTO). Jakob was so excited...he wasn't a fan of the muffins, but he was happy that I went.

Here is the flower that I was given before I left.

Family Day: Dinosaur Park

We knew it would be a beautiful day today so we headed out early. Destination: Dinosaur Park in Rocky Hill

We took the roundabout way to Rock Hill. Took these pics in East Hampton. Opening Day captured with the Comstock Bridge (built in 1873...spanning the Salmon River) in the background.

Travels bought us through South Glastonbury where we found the road to the ferry flooded (at the end of this road is where you are supposed to catch the ferry). This flooding was from the nor'easter we had this past Monday (we had heavy wind and rain).

Note the car submerged...

We walked through the main building at the Dinosaur State Park http://www.dinosaurstatepark.org/ (in an out in 10 minutes!), saw some Dino tracks, fossils, a few reptiles, and bought a book and puzzle at the gift shop.

I packed a lunch in our picnic basket and we ate in the park.

After lunch we followed 2 trails over the swamp board...both led to flooded paths, so we ended our day at the Dino Park.

On the way home we went through Haddam and saw this lovely gazebo underwater.

Took a detour and went to Devil's Hopyard for a bit (see pictures from July 2006) and enjoyed the nice weather (made it to 80!). Stopped for ice cream in Salem (FFIFF's)...yummy!

Happy Easter {Updated}

Will post on the week later along with pictures from today. We weren't planning on Easter dinner, but my Mom had no plans- we are going to have ham and strawberry cake for desert. Once Nana gets here, we are going color eggs.

Jake woke up and found the eggs the Easter bunny hid in the living room. He didn't bring much candy this year...but brought Charlotte's Web, a book, and hot wheels instead.

**Update: Lunch was good, and the raisin sauce Todd made was a hit (I passed). Jakob is wound up like you wouldn't believe. Waiting for Nana to get here to color eggs. We already had desert...yummy stuff.

So after waking up Monday morning with my eye half swollen shut, I went to see Dr. C. I had pink eye. He seems to think that it was from the sinus infection I had a few weeks before (same bacteria). So I am on 2 tablets of Augmenten (they are like 2 inches long!!) twice a day and 2 eye drops three times a day. *SIGH*. I feel better though. Good thing I didnt put it off..pink eye can be pretty bad for your eye if you let it go and the infection goes behind your eye. Also don't like toplay around with having surgery either.
