She was in her glory. Of course.
My parents and grandparents arrived Thursday afternoon. On Friday she had a chance to open her presents from them. She also opened a few other presents that she received from other family members.
She had a really great weekend. She was spoiled rotten and got to eat all the cookies GiGi would give her without me knowing.
That sneaky GiGi.
(she got this crown from her aunt Carrie and Uncle Jonathan)
She got to swing on the swing with her 90 year old pap-pap. That was pretty fun to watch.
He raced her to see who could swing faster. Amazing. He is doing so well for 90. He makes 90 the new 50. He even helped with yard work. I am a lucky girl to come from such great genes.
We spent a lot of time this weekend outdoors on the porch.
On Saturday we went to Six Flags, but I will blog about that another day this week. Aren't you excited??
Sunday we spent the day working and then shopping. Then we went to dinner at a cute outdoor seafood place and enjoyed watching the boats while we ate.
We sang to Finley and gave her a pure chocolate cupcake (no cake - just chocolate) filled with mini M+Ms. She was in her glory.
The kids woke up whiny Monday morning as we said goodbye to the grandparents. They chose Monday to be the whiniest they have been since we started vacation.
It was hot and sticky and muggy. Then it rained. We were stuck inside almost the whole day and it was torture. At least Arlington had 3 hours of Bible School to help take the edge off. The other two were not as lucky.
Finley's vision teacher came Monday morning to work with her, but Finley wasn't really in the mood. Between the heat and a very busy weekend, she was not at her best.So her vision teacher and I talked about the upcoming meeting we have with the school this Thursday. We also talked about how this fall will be when they introduce Finley to using a cane. That was a little hard to hear, but I just want her to be safe. They said the sooner they get her used to it, the better it will be for her.Plus her vision teacher and orientation and movement specialist aren't thrilled that she is going to Disney next year and would be in that environment without it.
So - we will see. They are going to measure her at the end of the summer.
We also seem to have inherited a cat. For the record - I am allergic to cats and don't particularly like them.
However - I don't want any animal to suffer. It has come to our yard from the woods every day for 4 days. It doesn't seem to be afraid of people - it likes to come right up to us. So I think the poor little thing might be lost.
It doesn't have a collar, so I have no idea what to do. So for now - it is staying at our house at night in our yard. And yes - I am crazy....I started to feed it. I couldn't help it.
I think that catches you up. I know you are thrilled. In the next couple of days I will update you with pictures from our Six Flags trip. I know you will be holding your breath until that time.
Until then!!! Enjoy summer. We certainly are.
