WHEW! that's the word I would use to describe this weekend.
as fast as the wind was blowing on sunday is as fast as this weekend went for me!
friday j had his mom watch the kids so he could play in a tournament in in. so when i got home from work , i had to got out to her house and pick them us. we ended up meeting at the mall and we went to dinner (which was nice, we tried a new sushi place at woodfield) and i ended up buying the kids new shoes.
sat. i went for my blood test to find out what foods i might be allergic or intolerant to, then we took cali to the dog beach. WOW! what fun! I cannot wait to go back. she did so good with the other dogs. a few times she seemed a bit aprehensive, and when more than 3 or 4 dogs would run and sniff at her, she looked a bit skittish, but she shook it off and really enjoyed running from one end of the beach to the other.
so the dog beach is really where all the fun began.
we were about ready to leave (of course, it's always when your leaving) when r screams, "Mom! J is bleeding! Come quick" so i run over and see his hand just dripping blood. turns out, p found a piece of glass and picked it up to throw it away. when j saw him with the glass, he tried to grab it from him thinking he shouldn't have it, and p pulled it away. so wham, bam, slice, and j has a nice sized cut on his finger. perfect.
well, lucky for us, there was a paramedic parked at the beach and we knocked on his window. he gave us gauze and cleaned it out and said, "yep, looks like he'll need a few stitches."
we at that moment, notice cali near the water and (this is again, an "of course" moment) watch as she jumps into the water after being afraid of it the whole time we were there! haha! so much for getting out of there quick. so we get the wet and sandy family piled into the van and head home.
after a fun and exciting trip to the doctor, after x-rays and singing on the hospital bed and taking a ton of pictures of the wound, j ended up with 6 stitches and i big smile to prove he was such a trooper!
so, not to be out done by a busy morning, on to a birthday party we go. there was an animal show there and p got to hold a hissing cockaroach and j got a tarantula placed on his head and a big python around his neck. r was just perfectly happy petting the fox and chinchilla that came by. my favorite was the capuchin monkey that had a crush on me. he kept jumping on me and hugging my head, but i think he was trying to get to the table with the bead and the wine!
sunday was nice, but busy again. after church and explaining the story of the stitches a few hundred times, we grocery shopped and went to grandma j's with cali. it was nice to spend time with her this weekend.
wow, so as fast as the weather changed from sun, to hail to rain to wind yesterday, was as fast as the weekend went. bye bye. and hello week!
