Splashing with Grandma!



 We were so excited to head north to see Grandma last Friday and she took us to Splash Village which was a super fun indoor water park!  Jeff and I left our suits at home.  It's nice now that the kids are older we don't NEED to be in the water with them though it did look like fun and we may have to bring our suits one of these days!
The kids couldn't wait to get bracelets and get in the pools.  They didn't miss a beat scattering in different directions.  They met friends but seemed to always rejoin each other.  I do love that they get along as well as they do!
Sean LOVED it too.  He couldn't go on the big slides because he wasn't quite tall enough but they had good-sized slides for him too.  He was like a fish and we only got him out of the water for a about ten minutes while everyone had some treats that Grandma packed! Otherwise, he was back in.  He even went under the big waterfall!


 The way it was set up was neat.  There were two parks and both were under a roof but one felt more outdoors.  We adults liked the outdoor one best because it felt much cooler and not quite as loud (the sound came from the falling water as it wasn't crowded at all which was nice!).
They had two big slides in the outdoor section.  One was a drop where you stand in it and the floor disappears and you literally drop for quite a while straight down! They also had these big tubes you could go down which the bigs loved!
 Jeff and I took a selfie while we waited to snap pics of the Bigs at the bottom of the slide.  They had so much fun and played for over 3 hours.  I made a video of all the pictures I took HERE. After all that fun, we worked up a good appetite and had a good dinner too!  We can't wait for our next visit!  Thanks Grandma!!

So tired...

It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

Image
So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
