The "Coldman" I mean Coleman Family Weekend

Hey gang,
I am sorry that the blogs have been few and far between recently. Honestly, mid October-mid November has been one big blur of snot, sneezing, coughing, blisters, and general grossness. This week our lucky cold contestant is none other than Chris Coleman! He has coughed, sneezed and slept the weekend away. We Coleman's typically have about one month per year that is generally yucky and I guess this is the month. As a result, we have spent a great deal of time hanging around the house. This is great for resting up, but it is not so photo worthy. But I will share the few photos we have taken in the past couple of days.
How would you like to be cleaning house, round a corner and see this coming your way? Sarah collected some decorations that I had taken in from our front porch and decided to give me a little scare. She was very successful as you can see. (I am even spooked out just looking at this photo. I can't believe this is our little girl).

When we can't go far, we visit our local library. I snuck a quick photo of Sarah reading along with a book while characters read the story to her. She loooves books so much!

This is the machine that she is transfixed upon. Our library really is fantastic! It is so kid friendly. I am sometimes jealous of how much better kids have it today in the education arena.


We did, however, find time this weekend to drag ourselves out of the house to watch the Movie Madagascar 2 with Aunt Amy(even my sick husband came along). Sarah loves the first movie (especially the song and dance parts) and could not wait for the next installment. Below is Sarah posing with her favorite characters.

This was the first movie that Sarah truly enjoyed the whole way through in the theater. I am so happy that we can now begin to go movie watching as a family. Chris and I used to be movie buffs in our former life (PK or pre- kids).

Amy, as always, is such a good sport. I think the adults enjoyed the movie as much as the kids! It really was a great sequel.

I had to include the video taken just after the movie. Sarah is singing the theme song and interacting with the movie characters inside the lobby.

Perhaps future blog posts will present you with a healthy and happy family. This post proves that we do manage to find fun even in the sickest of moments.

Until next time,
