Healing up

I know, but remember, I am a nurse. I'm glad to see Elizabeth's head healing up so nicely!

Weeds, weeds and more weeds!

It seems like all summer I have not been able to keep up with the weeds. The kids have helped pick them on numerous occasions, too. Once school started, I was determined to get them under control by doing a little each day and spraying with round up.

Weekend Happenings

It really wasn't a busy weekend. The girls had tennis on Saturday morning, Jack and John played some golf Saturday afternoon, Elizabeth got her staples out (looks great and she did very well), John left for Argentina Sunday after church, the kids got in the pool for a bit, then I took Jack and Alex to first tee to hit some balls and play a few holes while the girls and I ran to Walmart for a few things. In between these, there was a lot of playing with the American Girl doll gymnastics equipment and get well casts/crutches and build-a-bears. They had a great weekend playing with all their new birthday presents.

Early to bed and ready for the first full week of school!

Three Girls Turn Six!

I can't believe this day came so fast...again! These girls had a great birthday. The day started with presents being open bright and early--before school! They loved the bars and beam set for their American girls dolls, the crutches in their get well kits and the wheel chair. They also opened some new pjs from the Szczepanskis and quite a few build-a-bear outfits from us. They were all fired up with all these new toys!

We left early and stopped by the donut shop for breakfast and also to pick up donuts for their class treat. Once we got to school, they each got to pick out a birthday shirt to wear all day. I met them at church and sat with them and they had huge smiles on their faces. After school, they had some time to play with their toys before we went to chuck E Cheese (their choice). They had fun playing the games and eating pizza. We stopped at TCBY after for some ice cream since the girls don't really like cake. It was a busy day that started early and I would have thought they would be tired and ready for bed when we got home, but no, they were still ready to play and Jack somehow talked them (and us) into a game of baseball. Whew! Birthdays wear me out!! I'm glad they had a great day.
