Weekend Update
Our weekend flew by. I can't believe that Monday is near over already. It started out with Middle G. sneaking in to my room around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday and dressing up my foot. Yep...that's a picture of my heel.
Then Little G. got a rash. A rash that started small and traveled down his arms, around to his back and finally down to his legs. I have seen a lot of rashes but none quite like this one. He had no fever. He had no other symptoms.
So I took him to swim lesson.
And I took him to a birthday party.
The doctor (over the phone) said that it was likely an allergic reaction or a virus. Either way he wasn't contagious. And she wouldn't need to see him unless it lasted for three or more days. Which is unlikely. She said. Very unlikely.
So we went to T-Ball. It was our first game. It was HOT. Near 80 degrees and my kid wears navy blue. Like I said it was hot. I made a lot of friends (insert sarcasm font here) because my child was not only covered in rash but I handed out concession stand schedules to all parents.
I thought since next Sunday is Mother's Day it would be nice for the dad's to work the concession stand. This went over very well. (insert sarcasm font here).
Personally, I don't care. It's 45 minutes for one game and it's 50 cent sodas and soft pretzels. I'm sure the dad's can handle it.
The rash didn't go away today so I wasted some money on a co-pay. Mostly so people would stop giving me that look like I was bringing a big pile of something to share with their kids.
Guess what? It's viral. He's not contagious. It will most likely go away by Friday. Or it will turn purple. In that case I need to take him back.
Here's hoping their guess...I mean diagnosis....is right this time.
Tomorrow I will be posting about our latest swim lesson adventure. It may be time for us to find a new place to learn to swim.

Weekend Update: Finally--NO RAIN, Sun, Fun and Mother's Day
Here's hoping your Mother's Day was filled with warm weather, fun activities and children who decided to love on each other instead of kill each other, even if it was just for the day. I got a new tree for Mother's Day and some very pretty orange flowers. The girls made me tea and brought me a pop tart for breakfast in bed. It was very sweet.
Every year I take their picture in front of my original Mother's Day Tree. This little maple is very special to me for many reasons. The first being that when we lived in Ohio my hubby and my then 3 year old found a little seedling growing in a driveway crack, they potted it and eventually planted it in the yard for me. It actually grew. But then we had to move! In the winter! And I couldn't dig up my precious little tree. I know...I wanted to cry too. However, it is good to have friends. My dear friend, Michelle, actually went to my old house in the spring and asked the new neighbors if she could did up my little maple.
They said sure as they were just going to dig it up and get rid of it anyway as it had no special meaning to them and was a little sapling in the middle of their new yard.
I was soo surprised when Michelle came to visit bring my little maple with her. We laughed and laughed while we dug the hole to plant it at 10:30 at night. What would my new neighbors think we were up too?
Below is this year's picture of my 7 year old maple...who is now much bigger than my kids.

The weekend weather actually co-operated and we didn't have any rain. The first time in more than one week. I was starting to feel like Noah. Below is a picture of Little G on third base. Do you think he is having fun?
All in all, I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. The weather was great, the kids for the most part got along and when we went to the yard sale at my daughter's school we found a new radio for the van...one with a cd player...for only $20 bucks. It wasn't a quarter, but it was still a great deal.
One of my weekend goals was to finish refurbishing a dresser I bought at a yard sale. I'm happy to report that the dresser is done, in the girls room and filled with clothes. What do you think of my $40 treasure? Below are the before and after pictures. It was white with pink knobs.

Weekend Update: Hot weather, golf, t-ball and lots of fun
I hope your weekend was as fun as our weekend. We had unseasonably warm temperatures, close to 90 degrees all weekend.
Little G and I went miniature golfing as promised. He had a great time and the ice cream we got afterwards really tasted good.

After losing one ball over the fence and into the bushes, Little Gs technique became a cross between golf and pool. He has a very unique way of hitting the ball and obviously you can tell that he isn't afriad to get down and dirty to make the shot.
Here's a good shot of his unique swing. He doesn't hit the ball with the broad side of the putter. He prefers to hit it like he's playing crochet.
I can't begin to tell you how incredibly cute T-ball is. You just have to experience it for yourself. He had so much fun and his excitement was contagious. He didn't complain even one time and it was close to 90 degrees outside when he was playing his game.
He proudly told me his favorite part was running and I think you can tell frm this picture that he was very serious about making it to third base.
We had a very fun weekend, just he and I. The girls had a great time at church camp with daddy. I will post some of those pictures later this week.
Big G got to drive a go cart all by herself and Middle G made it to the top of the rock climbing wall -- a personal best. My husband relived his childhood through a fun game of capture the flag.
What did you do this weekend?
