We began the day at church. We left church and went to Mom and Dad's for brunch. Mom made quite a spread of yummy food. It was wonderful to all be together and have a beautiful day to enjoy each other.
Jo, Ole, T & Te followed us home and Ole spray painted Ellie's castle. We thought it would take an hour and it turned into an afternoon project. The kids played outside and enjoyed the sunshine. The castle really came to life when it was all one color. A couple finishing touches this week and then I will help Ellie move it to school this week. It was dinner time when Ole finished up so they stayed for dinner and we picked up a couple pizzas. We got the kids into the tub to take their bath/shower and then got them to bed.
Yesterday, Ellie woke up around 5Am with the cough. She had forgotten to take her allergy medicine the night before and it had caught up with her. She rallied and we went to National Train Day down at Union Station with Dad, Jo, T and Te. It was fun...Million Dollar Quartet was there and playing music. The kids got to get a bag full of treasures from all the train exhibitors. We had lunch downtown before coming home.
Ellie helped me with the garden when we got home. We got 2 of the beds planted and covered in mulch and then the wire put up. We still have one more bed to wire and mulch. We worked to finish up the castle. Ellie made all the flags for the top and I made the cones for the tops of the turrets. We watched some of Mr. Popper's Penguins before heading up to bed.
Thursday and Friday sort of blur together. Nick graduated on Thursday mornings from preschool. It was a very cute ceremony with lots of songs and stories. Rob took the day off of work to keep us company. We took Nick out for pancakes after school - we went out with Ellie in the evening for the real celebration. I had PT on Friday morning - still not feeling any real change in my feet.
Back and hips still feel about the same...hoping for some relief once PT starts for them - end of the month. Visualizing my healthy and continually healing body and the new normal, Tree
Happy Mother's Day...so glad it was a normal, regular, no thought of illness sort of day. Thanks for planting my carrot patch with the kids...let's be hopeful! Love you sweetie and my Mother's Day was really made complete, not just by having everybody here, but also by having everything back to being pretty uneventful! Love ya, Mom
