Our weekend.... last weekend and news from this weekend




Andy would not sit down to let me take his photo until we checked carefully that there were NO BEES in sight!! For some reason he is now petrified at the thought of possibly getting stung. He has never been stung and has endured far worse pain, but he literally panics at the thought of a bee being anywhere near him right now.
Pop at the Wamego Tulip Festival last weekend. He wanted to come with us and brought his own seating. We are so glad that he did. Even if there were a few complications with fussy kids, we love spending time with Grandpa! There weren't many tulips, but the kids enjoyed eating outside and playing in the park and petting zoo. We didn't stay too long, since we had stuff to still get done at home, but it was a fun time, when the kids were not fussing at each other that is :-)






Andy and the llama who decided she liked me a lot and would not leave me alone..... She even jumped out of her pen to walk with me. Scared me to death, but it turned out that she was a real sweetheart. Kind of like a big dog!



This weekend we have stayed in a rested up a bit, while getting some things done at home. One of the puppies went to his new home and Pop gave us a huge scare. He had to be rushed from church to the hospital due to supra ventricular tachycardia. Evidently he told the folks at church to not tell me... So I did not know until he came home. I was so angry at them for not letting me know, but I am better now. He had told them to not call me. Why they listened to him I will never know. I love my dad so much! He truly is a stubborn old goat though!!

Our Week, the good and the bad....








Busy and crazy as usual.... We have been able to spend our dinner times this week with grandpa and the kid have loved it. We are so happy he has time to spend with us now!!

We had steaed asparagus this week and as you can see, Sera is a huge fan! This girl loves foods that are good for her! Beets, wheat bread, okra, asparagus, you name it!!!

Grandma had her 87th birthday and Pop went to see her during the day. By the time we get out of school, she is having a hard time, or we would also have gone. We will see her on Easter
though!

Aubri scored exemplary on her state exams and has started taking her placement tests for homeschooling. She is so excited to be able to learn at her own pace and go as fast as she wants!

Sera got to go to Kindergarten round up and was tickeled to the bone about it all! She told me as we went in, "Mommie, I be a Kindergarten girl because I am grow and grow and grow!!!" She loved the games and activities and is proudly wearing her super kid medal from her goodie bag. She tells everyone she sees that she is going to be a Kindergarten girl :-)

My leg sems to be doing better, where the hematoma is. Hopefully it will continue to shrink more on its own and there will be no surgery in the future.

Monday my glasses blew off my face, literally and I am wearing an old pair, which really is not easy, but at least I can see somethings, until my new frames come in to put my old lenses in. Thankfully I will not have to buy new lenses too!!

Friday was a long day for me, with para evals due and paras unhappy with each other... Then I find out that my sweet little boy, who I had hoped had learned to not use his fist when he is upset, had punched a very nice little boy in the nose for simply asking to see his watch.... SO.... we had pizza rolls, soda and ice cream for dinner and the girls got a new movie to watch. Andy sat on the bed, with a peanut butter sandwich and milk for dinner. I hope his punishment was sufficient so that he can enjoy the Easter we have planned. He is dreading having to go see the principal and he will not get recess all next week as well as no DS or TV for a week. Who knows....

I so pray that he will eventually learn to think before he acts and someday not have the thought of hitting someone even cross his mind!

Today we are off to ride an Easter train and see the Easter bunny. We have never done this before, but I had better stop typing, because I need to get a new tail light first!!
