I have gone from doing a daily entry to hit or miss and for that I must apologize! I am hoping on more consistent updates now that the fog has lifted and I feel more awake during the afternoon and evening. Don’t get me wrong I still feel nausea like nobody’s business but at least I am able to be awake and aware at the same time… or is that a bad thing ??

Well, the majority of our week in review… Monday (which I forgot to go into detail on), was Zander’s yearly eye exam in regards to his lazy eye (that only appears when he is tired or over focusing). It was quite the appointment including the need to dilate his pupils. The doctor was very happy with the results, Zander’s eyes have improved and there is hope that they will continue to do so, though they want to see him each year until he is 7 or more. So same time next year I guess.

Tuesday went by with a lot of sleeping on my part… Wednesday was busier. We made our weekly trip to H&W where they actually had grapes on for 99 cents per pound. The boys convinced Ken to pick up a package of blackberries at a rather reasonable price as well. Sadly, by the time we got back from there I was done in for the afternoon. Of course with a sale on the junior roast-beef sandwiches at Arby’s there was a yummy and affordable special lunch for the whole family!

The boys have been working on creative endeavours of their own lately. Quiet time is still crucial for the younger two but the twins seem to be getting very bored during their appointed hour. So for now, until we have some new batteries for their little computer thing, they are working on their very own craft projects, The new little table has become a great place to enjoy the afternoon and get in some fun in the sunshine.

The twins each made a get well soon card for (he)Chris for his ankle. They keep telling Ken he should bring (he)Chris over next time… hard to explain to them that he is in no position to get down on the floor and play with them like they like. It was easy to get it to him as I headed over there to visit Thursday night. The guys always have their gaming night so it was nice to get out of the house again WITHOUT the kids.

Just a suggestion if you are a stitcher and looking for a way to donate to an organization sending relief to Haiti… a friend in an international cross stitching egroup sent out this link. Just click on the left side, make the pay pal donation and you receive (eventually) the two adorable mouse patterns.

Today was a busy one for us. We made the run out to a mall where we got the heads up on the PERFECT bike for Emanuel for his 4th birthday (the BIKE birthday according to the twins)… and luckily was able to meet up with Nathan and Ada after their ultra sound so not only did we make Emanuel blissfully happy (though he does not get the bike until his party) but got the first peek at the very first Perrin baby! Bonus!!

So a busy week in many respects, a tiring week for me for sure! The boys have been working on winter ideas so hopefully this weekend we will have pom pom snowmen to share with everyone!

Aunty Esther has great taste in dresses!
