This past weekend was a really nice weekend. I didn't get a moment to sit and do nothing yet I still enjoyed it.
Thursday and Friday we did not have school. I spent my time A) digging up mom's plants so my school can sell them to make money. I am the PTO president and we are trying to make money for the classrooms/kids. Lot of work. Thanks to my mom for donating all the plants. She was talking and mentioned she was going to just throw them away so I of course snatched them up so we could make some mulah! :) My time was also spent B) taking my kids to the doctor. Thursday evening I though Bria was getting pink eye but I decided to wait until morning to take her to urgent care. Friday morning when we woke up, Evan's eyes were completely matted shut. He could not open them at all. It took me nearly 15 minutes taking a warm cloth and then finally practically ripping them open before he was able to open his eyes again. He was not a happy camper. Bria, who I originally was concerned about, only had a few eye boogers. Needless to say, they both had pink eye and we got it taken care of. Since we were there, I had the doctors look at Bria again. I'm not kidding when I say she has had a cough/runny nose/rattle in her breathing since November. There have been times when it goes away briefly but then it comes back full force. I have probably taken her to the doctor 6 or more times this winter and every time they tell me it is just a bad cold. I don't want to hear that!!! I want medicine so it will go away! I'm tired of having her feel this way! Poor thing!
Saturday morning we went and visited my Grandma. The hospice facility has done a really good job of nursing her back to health. She is not healthy, but she is more alert recently than she has been in a long time. She is still recognizing everyone but lives in the past. She is constantly talking about her sister who has been gone for nearly 3 years now. She occasionally talks about her mom as well. Her spirits are up and it is nice to see her that way even if she isn't in reality anymore. The rest of the day we had our Easter celebration with my side of the family. We dyed eggs, had an egg hunt, had dinner. Over all it was a very nice time. Although it was still on the chilly side, Evan loved being able to get outside and play a little bit. He drove his Jeep around G-Ma and G-pa's yard. It was cute. Of course, G-pa gave him lots of Tractor (a little mower) ride.
Sunday, we got up bright and early so we could head back home and make it for 8:30 mass. Not fun getting up early. The kids were so good in church. Bria occasionally was trying to sing when the congregation would sing. Very funny. After church, we had a very nice brunch with Ryan's family. After brunch, the kids got to open their presents. Ryan's mom found HUGE eggs and stuffed the eggs with all the kid's presents. It was very cute and the kids loved how the eggs were so big. Then, of course, we had another egg hunt. Evan and Avery loved it! Their baskets were full. But then didn't have much competition. Next year there will be 5 egg hunters so there will be competition!!
Overall, it was a fabulous long weekend. Even though I was so busy, I felt refreshed when I went back to work today. Wonderful feeling! On another note 21 DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL!!!
Until next time...
