Saturday we went to Malia's Half Birthday. She is 2 1/2 and it was a blast. Malia and Michelle came home from China a few months ago so it was nice to be part of their first birthday celebration. Michelle invited us all to Build a Bear at MOA. My two made Hello Kitty's and had a great time. After the MOA we all went to Michelle and Malia's for lunch and hanging out. Its really nice getting together with other families and my girls really enjoy their new friends and their toys.
Sunday we slept in a little (8am for Ella) and relaxed for the first part of the day. We took a walk about 9:30 am and Elizabeth was practicing on her scooter. She is getting better at that. Ella walked with me for the most part. There were moments were we had to stop and encourage Ella to catch up though. At the end she was on my shoulders for the last few blocks. When we got inside, Elizabeth played computer games and Mom took control of the tv. That doesn't happen often but Ella seemed fine watching the decorating shows with me. Then we got ready for the rest of the day.
The girls were invited to Eli's Birthday. He is a friend from daycare. I wasn't sure if Ella would make it though. Right before we left she went upstairs and laid down in her bed. I think that was mostly her reaction to getting in trouble but I wasn't sure. She got in trouble because she wouldn't help pick up the toys from the day. When we got to Lisa and Todd's I let them know Ella might be a pill. Then I got the ok to leave so I did some grocery shopping for Dad. When I got back I got glowing reports about the girls.
We then picked up Dad and headed to Kevin and Doreen's for a fish fry. Kevin is an avid fisherman and the fish were delicious. On the way over to Uncle Kevin's Elizabeth was saying she was not going to eat fish at all. But, she ended up having two helpings of it and was very proud of trying fish for the first time. Ella loves any kind of food so she loved fish too for her first time. It was really nice hanging out with them and it was a beautiful night. We got home about 9 and the girls had a quick bath and then bedtime for us all.
So now we are at the start of the week again. Ella has speech therapy today and then the girls are back at daycare. Beth and family had Thursday and Friday off for family vacation and I had a substitute so it will be good to be back to normal. I am out of vacation days for now so I didn't want to take anymore time off unpaid. So, I was glad to find a substitute.
Work was very busy last week too so here's hoping that levels off this week as well. The three of us are still fighting the cold from Daycare so I also hope we can start to feel 100% soon. We all have a really tough sounding cough but that's all now. I also have been dealing with an under active thyroid and working with the doctors on that. I started medicine about a week ago and hope we can get that at the right level so I have more energy. Who knows, maybe I'll lose some weight too. :-)
