"Mom" for 2 days

Thursday and Friday I got to spend time with Holly and Austin. They were our first house guests to stay overnight. Thursday we went downtown and rode the light-rail to the 16th street mall and saw the "cow parade" (painted cow statues). Then we went to Films on Fillmore and watched Madagascar. Films on Fillmore is an outdoor free movie event with a blow-up screen. They also had a blow-up bouncy castle for the kids. Then on Friday we went to the mall and the kids played on this play area the has things to jump on that looked like breakfast foods like bacon, eggs and cereal.
Then I took the kids home in time for Austin's birthday party. He turns 5 on Monday.

I had so much fun, but I am pooped. It is hard to spend all your time watching an almost 8-year-old and a 5-year-old.... but it hasn't changed my mind about having my own someday; it was fun playing "mom". Andy even had fun with them. Ziggy is very happy they are gone though... he was not a happy cat those two days. I am not sure if it was because the kids had so much energy or if he was mad that I was spending time with the kiddos and not him.
