Alex's favorite building was the "Punchy Building" aka the Chapel:
He really wanted to see the inside with all the colors, but there was a service going on so we just peaked in:
And as far as watching Jeremy race, it was not that exciting. It was a 12 mile loop done 3 times, so we only saw him 3 times and there was a lot of waiting in between. Jeremy racing looks like this (guy in orange):

7:15 Late drop off.
7:30 Breakfast - apricots and hot cereal.
7:45 I took the boys to their swimming lesson, Jeremy (aka JJ) watched Ariel.
8:00 Swimming - Adam did very well today. I was in the pool with him and he swam back and forth between the instructor and me very happily. But he's still not kicking well so we're working on that.
8:10 Alex's first lesson. I don't think he was impressed. He had a death grip on the instructor and wouldn't do half of what she asked. At least he didn't cry and he only said he wanted to get out once.
8:45 Jeremy met us at the pool with Ariel. He reported back that he had to change a poopy. Which I also don't think he was impressed with, something about thinking he was done with all of that.
Jeremy took Alex to school and I drove Adam and Ariel to our fun swim day.
9:15 Fun swimming with the stroller workout moms! Ariel was very quiet and cautious. She spent most of the time sitting in my lap in the water and chewing on her hand. A few times she reached out to play with a fountain or kick her legs, but for the most part she was curiously quiet and still. Which was for the best because Adam was a wild mad man and was all over the pool going down slides and playing with all the water features.
After swimming, we had a snack. One mom brought bagels. How sweet was that, I didn't bring anything:
11:00 After swimming, we played at the indoor play place which is a lot like the tunnels at Chuck E Cheese if they were nicer and cleaner. Ariel didn't go up but she played with the lower stuff for a bit, then wanted in my lap. I could see she would fall asleep in my lap, so next came the hard part of getting Adam out of the tunnels without going up there myself (which always makes me feel like a cockroach in a sewer). After some shouting and mild threatening, I got Adam to come down.
11:30 Left the pool
12:00 Got home. Ariel was already asleep and went into her crib. I told Adam I was going to shower and he told me that swimming makes him tired, so I suggested that he lay down. When I got out of the shower, I found Adam wrapped up in Alex's and Jeremy's blankets (poor guy probably was looking for his blankies, which were in the wash because he had an accident this morning):
12:30 Realized both kids were asleep and I still had to pick up Alex. I called Ellen to see if she could help, but she wasn't in Boulder. Then I called the preschool to see if Alex could stay for enrichment, but they didn't have any spots left. So I had to load up both sleepies and get Alex. They actually stayed asleep until we got to school.
1:10 Pick up Alex.
1:30 Trip to Target-ole. I needed to replace my hand held mixer that died last week on during my third batch of buttercream frosting. First, we had to look at the Bionicles. And to say something sweet about Alex, he said he wanted to give Adam $5 so Adam could get Fulox. Not that Alex even has $5, but it was a sweet sentiment. Alex was very interested in the Baraki outpost, only $29.99. That would take Alex about 4 months to earn.
And my very exciting Target-ole find, when I was getting some more crisco (for the buttercream frosting) I wandered by the tea aisle and saw Jeremy's chai for only $2.10. Which brings me back to another story... Last night I walked to the grocery store to buy Jeremy some bread and chai so he wouldn't starve to death and when I did the self check I found $5 in the change slot. Very exciting!!! Anyway, the chai I bought last night was $5.99, so when I saw it at Target-ole for only $2.10 I was VERY excited and I bought 10 (Jeremy goes through about 3 a week). So it's like I saved $40!!! (Let's just forget about the new mixer I bought for $37 for a minute, shall we?)
Checking out of Target-ole, Adam decided he needed a pretzel, so I got each boy one. Ariel wouldn't eat any.
2:45 Got home. Ariel had some Mac & Cheese and NO mushed peas.
While playing outside, Ariel tripped on the garden hose and bumped her head on the glass door (so that's where the goose egg on her forehead came from, Becky).
Much screaming was done by all this afternoon (and Crissy, I made it until 4:30 before I had my beer). Alex's pinky nail finally fell off (very very GROSS). I don't even know what was wrong with Adam, but he was screaming too.
4:30 Pick up (and beer. Mmmmm, beer).

I feel bad that I didn't notice the large bumps until about an hour after I picked her up. She also hit her head on the fireplace last night :(
Not a graceful day for Miss Ariel
Sorry to hear that the "bump" she had while we were on the phone produced bumps on her head. Poor baby :-( Adam is too cute in the pic on the couch. It sounds like the 4:30 beer was much deserved.
