Ovid's Birthday Party

We had a really fun weekend, even if it started kinda sketchy.  Nico and I went to Toys R Us on Friday night to get a birthday gift for his BFF Ovid.  I explained to Nico that the purpose of the trip was to get a gift for Ovid and Nico was all about finding gifts that Ovid would like (these also coincidentally ended up being gifts that Nico wanted :)  Including a police office dress-up set that he is going to ask Santa for.  I thought we might get out of there somewhat unscathed when Nico became convinced that he needed some ice cream.  Cue meltdown.

We got home and to bed, and Nico woke up fresh as daisies on Saturday morning.  We got to the birthday party (being held at Tallahassee Museum) and all was right with the world.  In fact, we even got Nico to sit for an impromptu potrait (for Christmas cards).

Between this pic and the one from the Greek Fest, I have two- count them TWO options for Christmas card photos.  Shimmy.

Tallahassee Museum has some awesome features, including a play ground, and ropes courses (which we didnt do).  We also got to walk around and see, a tiger, some bear, some dear, a tiger and a gator.  On the playground is a rock wall, which Nico did.


Saturday included long naps for all of us and a grocery run.

When we woke up on Sunday, Nico helped me make breakfast for us, and then make a pecan pie (for a work Thanksgiving Lunch thing).  Dave got a workout in and when he got home, I ran out for a quick workout, shoe shopping for Nico and hot yoga.  In all, it was a pretty great weekend.
