surgery = success ! field trip = finished!

Mama's surgery went great!  She is already home and enjoyed a burger and shake last night for dinner!  It was awesome! I went there after work and did her pills and visited.... Lois was there too and spent the night with mom.  Very happy!!!

Today I will be dropping Andrew off at rehearsal on my way to work.... Papa and Lauren are going to the movies.  I was suppose to have my physical today and I had to postpone it again. Maybe next month will slow down. I don't know. 

Yesterday's field trip at my beach was a success too. And it is finished! Dylan and I kept watching the radar pictures of the weather. It rained before and after they came. But it wasn't too wet....just too wet to go box sledding. :(  But they had a picnic and had fun beach combing. And they loved riding the bus!!!!
I will leave you with are a few pictures....

Started out with a picnic lunch!

Then gathering treasures and checking out tiny crabs!

and crab claws!

and oyster shells

and laughing at the waves....

I loved how Dylan laughed at the kids!

Lauren is very serious of the child I put her in charge of!

Maddie and her little girl could be sisters!!!!

I gave Dylan the wanderer... I knew he could stick with him.

He is so ready to leave....lol!

And we'll have some sun.....

This is where papa and I like to spend time together talking.  It is so wonderful in the mornings.

Our front porch!

We have a gate at the steps of the front porch so Toby can spend all day out there if he wants. He loves it too!

Had another great day yesterday at work.  I am so tired at night but I love my job!  The days go by so fast, I love the people, I love the kids, and Andrew spent part of yesterday at the center with me! Those kids sure love him and they make him laugh!!!  He is also a help. Which is great!!! Andrew and papa brought a big chunk of ice with Jungle animals in the ice. The kids went outside and started scraping and chipping away. After awhile... Andrew picked up the block and threw it on the cement! The kids squealed and laughed and ran for the ice chunks with animals like it was a pinata! It was so funny!

and then he played tag with them!!!

Today I have already cleaned up the outside plants and cleaned the deck, cleaned the den, the dining room and living room, and washed the sheets! And it is still morning!  Need to run and do some more like kitchen! Papa is great at keeping up on laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and bathrooms, but there are little things that need my attention. Papa has no walmart work next week! He is happy!

We are taking mom to church tomorrow and to Albertson's after church.  That will be nice for her. She has surgery on Monday and she wants communion. It is an outpatient thing.... ballooning her fistula a bit.  Please keep her in your prayers.  She worries so much.
Loving the sun... off to enjoy!
