So far this week has proven to be another great one. We started off with Gabi's 2nd birthday and end it with what is suppose to be a beautiful 50-60 degree weather day (we will be out later!).
On Tuesday, Gramma joined us with the kid's preschool for some old school bowling! The kids all had a great time, and we had a laugh ourselves! It was hilarious to watch lil Gabi Rose picking up and trying to bowl herself! Will and Isa did fine, with a little assistance every once in a while!
Later that day, our playgroup friends got together for a play date and to celebrate Gabi's 2nd and Natalie's 4th birthdays. I can't say enough how much fun we all have together. The kids get along so well, that the adults even have time to just chit chat while they are playing. awesome.
On Wacky Wednesday (the kids have been celebrating Dr. Seuss week) we took a little trip out to see Grandma Thomas. The kids looked pretty silly, but still had a nice visit taking Grandma for a little spin around the home and sharing some cupcakes with her!
Later that night Will and Isa got even more time with Gramma and Bapa during their sleepover before Gabi's surgery.
Thursday morning we had Gabi at the hospital by 6am for her ear tube replacement. It's a pretty simple procedure which is done in about 10 minutes, but it's still hard for parents. Gabi was a great little patient waiting to go in. After the surgery she had a little harder time. They ended up removing a little scab in her ear (some granular tissue from scarring) and it really hurt her. She was not happy. However, after getting home and a good nap, she was back to her usual fun loving self!
I love these pics of what she does when you tell her to say cheese... (Cathy, I am sure you are smiling!)
Finally... last night I had a little girls night out. Megan and I headed out to get a mani/pedi and dinner afterwards. It's funny how we became friends.... I remember the first time I met Joe, Megan and their little strawberry haired boy at Matt's house back in the winter of 2003. Who would have known that 8 years later they would have made it almost every one of our kid's birthday parties (they have only missed 2). As for Megan and I, this was a wonderful evening. It was so relaxed and time seemed to be endless. We chatted for what seemed like forever. It was real nice. The funnies part was at the restaurant. We had been chatting and lost track of time... unbeknownst to us, they had actually closed 30 minutes ago and we were the last ones out of the restaurant! opps! We'll have to do it again soon!
