Summer is officially here! My soon-to-be Bonus Daughter & Son had their graduations Thursday and Friday and are now officially a 1st grader and a K'er! They got here Friday evening and will be here for a whole month!! (Still hoping my foot heals soon so I'm able to do fun stuff with them!)
They came with all of this! Why you ask? Because they both have generalized seizures and the boy is allergic to nine-billion different things (trees, grass, cats just to name a few.) And he was just in the Hospital for 3 days with a racing heart and a small case of pneumonia.
Poor kiddos. My heart breaks for them knowing they have to take all of this medicine, and most of it 2x a day! Ugh!!
Saturday came and we had no plans. Just a casual day relaxing at home. That changed when some friends invited us over for dinner. So we got ready and headed over. You'd think no big deal, right? But keep in mind, this is the same house I hurt my foot at 2 weeks prior...Dinner was good. We had beef and fish tacos out on the patio. It was a beautiful evening. The guys hung a new tv in the living room and a shelf and got it all set up. Then after dinner they headed up stairs to hang another tv and do a bit of rearranging. Everyone was upstairs so I thought I'd join them...after falling UP the stairs 3 times I finally made it to the top. Hung out for a bit and was social. After a while I went back down so I could put my foot up. Made it down the stairs just fine, thank God! About 1230am we were finally walking out the door. (Yes, the children were still up...I know, HORRIBLE PARENTS! But it was Saturday night, and they were busy playing. They can sleep in the next morning....) Got out to the car, put the crutches in, hopped to the back of the car to give hugs and say our good byes. Was hopping back to get in the car and my flip flop got twisted under my foot and I tripped, put my hurt foot down to catch myself, that foot gave out and I fell flat on my hands and knees. So now I have a bruised foot and 2 bruised knees. I'm one big HOT MESS right now!! I'm over it!! Anyways, needless to say after we got home I was just a ball of tears. I'd cry, I'd stop. I'd cry, I'd stop. Josh was over THAT! So I sucked it up and got some sleep.
Sunday was better. Made a trip to the commissary and then took a drive down by the beach and took in a beautiful sunset.....
I love SoCal...I love the sunsets over the ocean...
Monday was the first full day of being home all day with the kiddos! I managed to get them to the park and let them play for a couple of hours. Dad had duty, so he wasn't home Monday night. The kiddos and I cooked dinner and took to him so they could see him for a few min that evening.
This was the view from his work...once again, CAN NOT GET ENOUGH of the GORGEOUS SoCal sunsets!!
He ate and then we had a mini dance party in the car. The kiddos and I may have been rocking out on the way to see daddy, so they were a bit hyper and when they saw their daddy it escalated...lol! Fun times! Then it was home for ice cream and a game of Operation before bed.
Tuesday was laundry day...we went to the laundry mat out in town because we had 2 hampers over flowing. I have not been able to do any laundry since I got hurt, and Josh has only done 1 load a week since then on Sundays...his cammies, socks, shirts, ect...whatever we need for the week...so instead of doing 8 or more loads, we got it done in 3! Gotta love the oversized washers at the laundry mat!!
Last night the little guy noticed my engagement ring while we were baking some Blueberry Muffins. He said "I like your ring, Christina." I replied "Thank you. Daddy got it for me." He then looked up at his daddy and said "Thank you for getting Christina her ring. Its beautiful!" Awww...I melted....
So we thought that was the perfect time to talk to the kids about us getting married. I asked them if it was ok if their daddy and I got married. The little guy piped up with "Yes! Then you will kiss! Christina will be the princess and you will be the prince, daddy!" And the lil' princess got a smile on her face and shook her head yes. So we told them that we would be getting married and I would then be their "Bonus Mom." They thought that was pretty cool! Whew! It went well!! I was a little nervous to bring it up. Not sure why though, I've known the kids for half of their lives already....
The kiddos requested mini pancakes for breakfast today...so that's what they will get. I better get my butt to the kitchen..its already 830 so I'm sure they'll be up before long! After that it's off to run some errands...Lot's going on tomorrow! So stay tuned!!
HAPPY HUMP DAY!!
