Elk Rapids (Night 3)


We started our morning with disc golf and walking (early) again. This time I took a different route. My dad suggested it and I liked it. I think I would fit in here. Loved the signs I saw in so many yards. I did 4 miles again and averaged 12:35 minute miles.
We had to head back to TC again to the Home Depot because the toilet seat broke (don't worry- it broke before we got there from the last people but we fixed it). When we got to the Home Depot, the man there had eclipse glasses. It was soooo cool and I think we need to go to totality when it comes back next time!

My parents even sent this video of Marty watching the eclipse from the safety of their home. He loves science (or he thought it was a giant ball).

 After we got the seat, we decided to do some Putt-Putt golf. Everyone got a hole in one except the Goose (not happy as you can tell from the first picture) and Jeffy. Seany got THREE!! This is a family record! Also, the kids got fun gifts after, which was cool.
We put in some more swimming time when we got home in both the lake and pool. This was the day we did our tradition pizza at home (for the kids) and this year we got Margarita Pizza (our fav) from a nearby shop and it was soooo good! I think Jeff and I ate the entire pizza!
It was kind of rainy so it was family game night. We LOVE Bounce Off and while shopping in TC we found a new "Bounce Off" game (with a twist) for only $4! It was a fun twist on our favorite game!
 Jeff is pretty good but Seany and I held our own and barely lost (but we did). Al and Jeff stayed up late playing. The two are so competitive! Al lost and refused to sleep in the room with Jeff (Al, Sean, Jeff and I took the bedroom and the boys took the pull-outs). She ended up sleeping in the front room with the boys. Cracked me up!




Z and I had fun trying to watch the sunset but it started to rain. I didn't get any pictures but I did get the cool video (above) or slow motion lightning strikes!

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...

Image
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...
