Mama's Date

Busy, busy, week!  Actually, it didn't feel that busy when I was doing it, but looking back at pictures, we were busy!!!

Monday:

TW (oh, before I forget, we finished The Hobbit, and have moved on to The Swiss Family Robinson in our family reading) had a follow up appointment with the ENT clinic for his hoarse voice (which is mostly better).  Our visit lasted about 5 minutes (and we went in early, so we left before our actual appointment time)... we will be going back to pediatrics next week to see if they want to do any tests to see why TW has reflux!  Everyone did great at the office!

The kids spent a good hunk of the day playing in the back yard.  The boys caught this little anole, and TW played with it for most of nap time... I think it gave up trying to get away :)

Tuesday:

TW had his stitches removed... Daddy's flight was canceled due to rain, so he came with us!  

That evening, we had stir fry.  I set the can of chow mein noodles on the counter.  Mr. E found them, discovered he liked them, snuck them off the counter and started devouring them (with Pretty Girl's help).  J found both kids in the closet (door closed) munching away!

Wednesday:

I set Smaug on the floor while wiping someone off (sorry if that's too much info)... TW brought him a pillow and blanket, Berry brought another blanket and a baby!  

Pretty Girl helped with dinner!

We finished up our unit on the nervous system (part I)... this clay brain has taken up residence on my microwave (along with the clock for math)!

Thursday:

I set Smaug on the bed to put away clothes... TW added a pillow and blanket, and then more blankets, and more kids... they played here for about 30 minutes... they all love their baby brother!

Saturday (not sure what happened to Friday):  

Everyone decided to color while I made breakfast!

And then... TW and I had a date.  The Pensacola Symphony Orchestra hosted a family event.  First, we waited in line to get into the theatre...

... the kids made masks...

 
... tried out different instruments... the bassoon was TW's favorite... he was able to hold a note for 12 whole seconds!!!...

... and got to hear a short concert.  I took this picture because TW decided we needed to sit in the box seats (ours were identical to what you see)... he thought it was cool that we walked through a curtain to get to our spot, and we got to sit in real, comfy chairs (rather than normal auditorium seats)!!!...

... and then we inspected this cool clock before heading home.  It was a great afternoon!!!

In Other News:  The boys had spiky hair for church this morning :)

Oops... how did I miss this picture?  TW gave these to Smaug on Monday while I was getting ready to go take everyone to TW's follow up appointment... did I mention that they love this guy??? :)
