We're on the mend around here. Handy husband and I made a trip to the pharmacy to pick up antibiotics on Saturday. His bag was filled with goodies to heal his conjunctivitis and mine was filled with goodies to cure a sinus infection. No wonder I wasn't feeling better! It gave us a glimpse into our marriage at ninety years of age....a trip to the pharmacy on a Saturday afternoon.
I still managed to be a "mom" despite not feeling well-if you could call it that. The kids didn't play with the kitchen knives. However, we did get out on a terribly cold spring morning to harvest my "yet to bloom" poppies and climb the rhododendron trees.
This is a big "no no" at my house These little rugrats love to pick the poppy buds and open them up.
"Ohhh...look what's inside!" We should know this by now....it's only the fiftieth one they've opened!
The kids were wearing these HEAVY winter coats.......
....and these are blooming. Where is spring????
Then, one day, out came the sun.
We headed to Nana & Papa's house for lunch, al fresco.
Baby Graham's first time dining outside and his first summer outfit...ever!
They inspected a ladybug.
She doesn't have a chance.
On Friday night, we took the older kids to their first ever live show, "Sesame Street Live" at the Comcast Arena. They loved it and were completely mesmerized. At eleven dollars per ticket, we couldn't have spent a better evening. Just a quick note to the family behind us-next time please don't bring your hacking kids to sit directly behind me and cough so hard it blows my hair around. Gross. While I'm at it, don't you think parents could find something else to do at intermission instead of stepping out for a smoke? Seriously-the show was called, "Elmos Healthy Heros".
Quick pic before our hot family date.
After a day of planting our veggie seeds and new raspberry plants, we took the kids to Snoqualamie Gourmet Ice Cream for a little treat. It was the first time the kids have been old enough to choose their own flavor with excitement. Grace decided on Rainbow Sherbert and the green color of Mint Chocolate Chip made William's tummy swoon.
Last night I finally cooked. I think I had pushed the limit with tasteless food and leftovers while being sick. We had a lovely spring dinner with wild salmon, asparagus, and roasted potatoes. Dessert was burrata cheese with strawberries, basil, and balsamic. Delicious. Graham was smackin' his lips for more salmon.
