Trip to DC

We decided to take a trip to downtown, and by that I mean, Washington, DC. Got half way there and realized that the camera was still in the family room. Grr... Oh well, there will be plenty more trips to come!!! ;o) It is only 20 some miles from our house, but it took close to an hour to get there. Just with traffic and then TRYING to find SOMEPLACE to park. But it was fun! A GREAT day to just walk! We found a parking garage and then walked to go see Abraham Lincoln. Oh, driving to downtown we passed the White House. We pointed it out to Kotah (she was the only one awake!) and I said that's where the president lives. Then she was like oh, like Abraham Lincoln? I said, well, when he was alive he lived there, but he is dead. I said President Obama lives there right now. Thought it was kinda funny! ;o) So we saw Lincoln, the reflecting pool or pond, whichever it is called, and passed MANY museums... There was a police officer riding a HUGE horse, so the kids thought that was WAAAAY cool! We also got to sit at the WWII Memorial and dipped our feet in the water. Can NOT wait to go back! The kids did really good with all the walking we did! Next trip will be FOR SURE taking the camera! SOOOO much history and sooooo many things to see and do here!!!!!!! Can't wait for the next trip!

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
