more fall break moments

Tuesday was "Mom & Noah" day, as Tim's vacation didn't start until Wed.

We headed for Owensboro for some sushi. Noah has always loved sushi but wasn't fond of the ending of this visit. He ordered spicy tuna rolls, which are one of his favorites; however, this restaurant makes them SUPER hot. It was too hot for him so we swapped. Mine had little orange bits on them, which he kept questioning what they were. When the waitress told him "fish eggs" I thought he might vomit right there. He said, "we must go to the emergency room immediately" to which I about peed by pants!

I was hoping we could laugh about it but I think it really traumatized him. We had to have an entire discussion about eggs and I tried to use fried chicken eggs as an example but he would have nothing of it. I think I lost my sushi buddy! ...but it was a funny moment.

We then spent the afternoon randomly driving around on backroads and taking pictures. He is growing so fast and I wanted to capture him amongst the changing trees. He is such a funny kid and we spent the rest of the day laughing, stopping for a quick photo, running back to the truck and more laughing.

Wed was all about family time! Tim's first day of fall break and we headed for Louisville. We spent most of the day at the zoo, taking our time to explore. I let Noah stay as long as he wanted at each animal and he loved it. The zoo was fun too because it was decorated for Halloween so there were lots of cute displays, which made for some funny photos!



We ended with a surprise stop at joe's crab shack, which he'd never been to. Noah loves crab so he was in love with the place (and my plate!). Two spilled drinks (yes, 2 and at separate times!), a bucket of crabs and loads of shrimp, followed by a walk along the river, made for a great finish to the day.

My evening ended listening to Tim & Noah play miniature golf on the Wii. All in all, great day.

Thursday was a lazy, busy day full of nothing much. Tim & I both had some projects we wanted to complete in the morning so it gave Noah some time to relax and play video games. We went to see "Where the Wild Things are" that night, which wasn't a great movie but good time together. The evening ended with Noah reading to us, which always makes for the best bedtime story.
