We played computer games, took walks, bought ice creams to drip on ourselves in the heat, tried unsuccessfully to take naps, went swimming, did fun crafts, ate good kid meals of little blueberry muffins and fruit for breakfast, hot dogs, cheese quesadillas, chips, popcorn and yogurt treats in the evening, stuff like that.
Popcorn and TV after dinner
Super-duper crafts and artistry in action
Yummy Ice Creams - available in the office. Messy and yummy on a hot day!
Do these kids look like they are ready for a nap????
Beautiful Lauren
Awesome Andrew
Andrew splashing :)
This was the most fun of the pool time -
Bucking Bronco Brother!
Andrew has such patience and carried Lauren on his back over and over again, playing bucking bronco. She loved it. They both laughed out loud the whole time. So much fun!
They were perfect little kiddles and this morning Kristy
picked us up and we met up with their Dad (who had to work this afternoon and
brought his own car), Grandma, Grandma, Aunt Allison and Uncle Wes at a nice
restaurant where we all had brunch.
After brunch, Kristy and the kids and I drove to Antioch where we
visited with my Mom and Dad, who will both be 89 in a few months. Afterward, we stopped at Denny's for “lunner” –
wow, the food was great! – and then they dropped me off at The Palms.
Katie had been here alone from 9 am to around 5:30, and she
did great again. I’m really proud of
her, and so relieved that she seems to be okay with being alone here.
This evening we are chilling out, and going to bed early,
then tomorrow taking it easy. Andrew has
a T-Ball game tomorrow at 5, so Kristy is going to pick me up again to go with
them.
Kristy did well on her crutches today, but after an entire
day of up and down and walking, she was pretty done when they dropped me
off. Hopefully she will get a lot of
rest tonight and the kids will help her, since Matt works this evening. With Home Depot, his schedule can be early
mornings to open, mornings, afternoons, evenings, and even overnight if needed
for inventory. I’ve never had a schedule
like his, but he’s always had varied hours, and it doesn’t seem to bother him.
And now I'm going to relax and sip my new favorite drink - don't laugh, it's really good - iced tea and white wine with lots of ice.
From Me and My Dog, Katie - have a great Sunday evening, everyone! : )
