Mary Claire went to the Nickelodeon Kid's Day Naturals game on Saturday with Emily-and had so much fun! She got to sit in the shade-Lucky Ducks!-and we are thankful since we didn't put sunblock on her! She had Cracker Jacks, ice cream in a Naturals batting helmet souvenir, got a signed autograph of Stryker, the mascot-such fun! I'll try to get a picture posted. The girls have grown over the years, and it amazes me they'll be in third grade! Where does the time go?
Ok, word to those over 35 or 40 (yes, I fall in this category, and promise to heed the warning): If you have skin that droops/hangs over your belly button, you should No Longer go topless. My neighbor, who might appear to be Hot Guy in clothes, is Old Guy when shirtless. I witnessed the sadness last night as I pulled in the driveway. I wanted so badly to tell him it was so much better With Shirt On, but I didn't want to be rude. Someone needs to tell him. So I'm telling all of you, in case you've deceived your neighbors! Keep deceiving!
Thankfully, I will never wear a bikini again-partially because
a.) Clay said some girl on the bus said she'd seen his fat mom in a bikini out by the pool and partly because I probably have
b.) skin hanging out over my belly button. And, lastly,
c.) my husband has rock-hard abs and makes me look bad (but won't show his off).
Newest news:
Ches had a new toy, which I've touched once, and he's newly consumed. Electronics = man toys. He got his new iPad touch/3G/don't know the formal name for it.
Still getting the house summerized..putting up all the sand and shells-changing out pillows and stuff-I have more to do tomorrow! Ches is taking Ethan to school so I can get more done, Yay, Ches! He isn't going in for the rest of the week (he was gone all day yesterday and today, and this is vacation!), so he can do more to help out. I'm awful thankful after he's been gone.
I am taking Mary Claire to the orthodontist tomorrow. She is getting her little spacers tomorrow since she gets her braces June 8th. We are supposed to go to Little Rock on Thursday for her 3 month endocrine appointment, but I am so Not Excited to make the drive again. Maybe it's because I just went down there a couple weeks ago? I hope I remember to call Junko to have lunch! She has a sweet daughter, Emily, who also has Type I Diabetes. She's only a couple years younger than Mary Claire, and they do so well together! We always share what we've learned, and it's good for us as moms and for the girls. : ) It makes the trip worth it!
Clay's practice today was rained out, which we were thankful for. He stays so busy, and it's nice to have a night off. Tomorrow they have a game, so we may be wishing they had more practice, but I'm still thankful! It makes for a longer dinner and peace at night. They had ice cream for dessert, and Clay made all sorts of medieval weapons out of Tinkertoys. I know it sounds bad, but it was so creative! I should have taken pictures of his research/design, but I was up on a ladder changing out the fireplace art/stuff! (I even tied starfish to my candles!) He's a boy, and needs time to be creative. He's been not-so-easy to get along with lately, and I can't pinpoint a cause. He doesn't want me to rub his back, hug or kiss him, and pushes me away. It hurts my feelings! Ches had a conversation with him this evening, and Clay came down and hugged me. I know he's growing up, but does it happen this early? He seems angry. I don't know if tough stuff is going on at school, or if the medicine he takes is wearing off, and he's tired from the day. I just don't know. We go back to the doctor, so maybe I'll mention it. I never know when a phase is a big deal or something to gloss over-it's hard when you are in it! I'll only know in a couple months what I should have done!
And guess what I forgot to post Sunday? We swam on Sunday and Monday! Here are a couple pictures:
