With having five boys and our lives being pretty chaotic most of the time, Blake and I both try to do special things one on one with our boys from time to time. This time it was Caleb's turn to go somewhere special with one of us. We heard about the LegoFest coming to the convention center and knew that Bubbs would LOVE it (Asher has never really been into Legos too much) So we decided Blake would take C to the Saturday morning session and that way he could still be home in time for his college football watching in the afternoon!
That morning Caleb woke up not feeling great.... of course he already knew that it was the day to go to the LegoFest so he kept insisting that he was fine.... a quick feel of his forehead and we knew he was running a bit of a fever. But since he was acting okay and we really didn't want him to have to miss it, they ended up heading out around 8:30 that morning.
They had a blast even with C not feeling 100%... when he got home he was wiped, and pretty much died on the couch for the rest of the afternoon. His fever got pretty high that afternoon (he's always been our "fever" child) and he ended up going to the dr. the next morning and coming home diagnosed with strep throat. It was a looooong weekend with Blake and I not feeling well either.
His favorite part was building and playing with the new ninja 'Ninjago' guys... and he even got to bring one home!

Of course C won!

What a special morning for C! And even a stop at Krispy Kreme on the way home.... a Hickman stop anytime we're downtown for anything!

Love it! I love the idea of "date" moments with our children. 5 children or 2 or 3 children. Time alone with parents is so special! Love it!!
And, parenting empathy...AK is a high fever girl. We don't flinch until her fever hits higher than 103. :) But those fevers are not fun for them or us!
