One of my cousins called me this morning as he was driving to pick up a piece of equipment for his business. The equipment was in MN and he lives in SD. He said his route was going to take him by our house, so he was going to try to stop to say hi and give me a hug before heading back home. It was a long day on the road for him – I’m so grateful he stopped to say hello.
This girl likes color! We dyed the ends of her hair dark blue today. It’s so dark it looks purple (like the last time we dyed it.) but trust me, it’s blue. And so are my hands – just a bit.
Our friends had a birthday party for their two-year-old today. As always, there were lots of laughs and a piñata and new this year were edible bubbles and sack races!
We signed Shecklets 1, 2, and 3 up for a month-long track season in a neighboring suburb. Today was their first meet. They each had three running events and one field event.
19″ of snow in 48 hours was enough to have the kids’ schools declare a snow day today! It’s finally warm enough for them to enjoy the white stuff without getting cold in 10 minutes.
After talking with the on-call doctor last night, we made a change to Veronica’s pain med. She was able to sleep a little in the early morning. She was up an hour before me and was sitting in her chair. She had a little breakfast and her pain meds. She did some walking in the house. The walking in the house gave her a confidence boost. I asked if she wanted to go for a walk outside. She said yes, and we walked up the block. There was sunshine and Sunday morning traffic. It was a lot to take in. She did really well. She is sitting in the recliner resting now.
Out the door.
Up the block.
Down the block is the way to the diner, we might try to go that way when the sun goes behind the hills.
Shecklets 1 and 2 headed out to the front yard shortly after getting home from school. Shecklet #4 followed soon after.
Three of the Shecklets spent the day win Nana out at Echo Hills with Rio and Kid. They had a picnic in the small, green pasture, rode horses, and then ended up back at Nana and Papa’s house for dinner. Shecklet #2 and I missed out on the fun due to not feeling 100%, so we laid low and enjoyed some movie time together. I finally got to see Rogue One 🙂
Grandpa Dave went with us to the orchard where Grandma Patti works in the fall. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun, as usual!
After the orchard, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and the kids played outside and rode on the 4-wheeler.
My SIL organized a trip to the apple orchard today. So much fun with cousins and friends!
