Nerf guns seemed to be one of the favorite among the boys. Chloe joined in on occasion! Chloe used to play right alongside the boys. But I noticed this time, she didn't stay with them. She did her own thing! Not sure if that was a sign that she just couldn't keep up or if she was growing up! Probably both!!
Krisann shared nicely for the most part. I was a bit worried about it because the only other time we've had a little one in the house she didn't want to share her toys! But I was glad she was settled and didn't mind sharing most of the time!
We spent just a little bit of time in the botanical gardens. We didn't make it very far but the kids did get to play on the seesaw and swings, toured a couple of cute treehouses, and we made it to the butterfly house but the butterflies haven't emerged yet. We will definitely have to go back in a few weeks and see all the butterflies. Krisann surprised us all while we were there. She was climbing up a small slide and there happend to be a bumblebee there. She went to screaming and crying and saying bee bee bee. I don't know where in the world she learned to be scared of bees but the fear has not left yet!! We had one in our yard the next night and she was bothered for awhile even after I brought her inside. Poor baby!
It was so good to just be with Jay and Laura. It seemed that Zine was incredibly glad that they were here. I think Zine and his brother got some one on one time together for just a bit. Wished that they could have had more one on one time together! But most of our time was spent together as families.
I have officially begged them to move here now. Not sure what exactly it was, but while they were here there was just a calmer more peaceful feeling around here for the most part. But man oh man, when they left, the emotional status around here went down, down, down!!
However, his brother may never want to come again. I kept him very busy! He helped me move two things to storage. They should have been easy and five minute jobs! It turned out to be a difficult job! Then while he was here our air conditioning leaked. But so thankful that he was able to find the leak immediately and was able to fix it. Then my shoulder has been giving me fits! It's been giving me lots of pain since the first of March. So while he was here, it bothered me so bad one night I was in tears again. Several times he used a tennis ball to rub muscle to relieve pain. He also showed Zine and Conner how to do it as well. So we have continued on a regular basis. Today, I'm pretty certain that it is helping and am hoping that it is going to be well soon! But can I just say...a rhomboid muscle can really hurt!! That muscle makes me feel like a whimp!! So between all that, Jay may never come again!
Today, I began to try to potty train Krisann. Not sure how that is going to work but I think she is going to do just fine. Conner is at a week long Avaition Challenge this week. I am praying that he stays well and completes his week!
