The kids had a blast at the Children's Museum. I'm talking the best time they've had at a place to date probably. It wasn't packed at all which was amazing so we were able to see everything on both floors. We initially took the jogging stroller but Ricky quickly put it in the car because the kids were walking and exploring everything. Even little Gracie was holding our hands just a walking. Her and Brody were so tired towards the end of our time there and Brody just cried and whined anytime we were walking to the next station. Of course I still made him walk anyway. He even got a little pop on the butt for trying to throw a tantrum in public! Anyway, it was a wonderful outing for everyone.
My mom went to rehab last night. My Meme dropped her off around 7pm. I found an all women's program that is a 10 day detox. After that they will help find her a sober living environment if she chooses to want to continue to get help. We are hoping she will stay the 10 days and not leave. That is the one bad thing about these programs is that you can leave if you want to at any time. Anyway, I hope she does the right thing.
I took the kids to dinner last night. We had chicken alfredo which is their favorite. I was sweating bullets about taking them by myself because it is absolutely mortifying when your kids act like "those" kids but they were so well behaved. When they first sat us this older couple probably in their early 60's gave me a look of "oh great" but when they got up to leave they both stopped and said they were shocked at how well they behave. Score! The manager also commented and a man and woman in the parking lot. And as I was on cloud nine thinking I have the perfect little kids, we get home and Brody decides to jump in their little swimming pool with all his clothes, shoes, and braces that he needs for therapy on. He got his butt popped and then Madi decides she wants to get in the car and make the alarm go off in such a way it wouldn't stop until I started the car. She got her little butt popped too! Luckily Gracie decided she would just watch everything and not join in.
We've got a very busy day today. The new therapy schedule starts. It's now Tuesdays and Wednesdays (take note Meme) from 9am-11:30. Very long mornings for the kids but it is the only way to schedule therapy, preschool, swim lessons, and doctor appointments. I hate having appointments that early. For one we LOVE to sleep around here- all of us and two, I like the kids to be able to wake up, eat at their own pace, etc. They like it better that way too. Here is a fun fact: the kids are now eating a total of 6 eggs for breakfast! We basically go through about 200 eggs per month. Very recently we were going through about 150 a month. Eggs are the one thing Madi Faith will eat a lot of. She really isn't a big eater but will always finish her eggs (with dop also known as dip which is ketchup).
I'll update a again soon!
