Summer fun already in the pool

What a week. This was our last week of CDO.. I am more sad than anyone. More so because I am selfish... I really enjoyed the time with June and running my errands... one child is so much easier than two when you are at Target or HEB. I am also sad because Wyatt has such a good time and the program is so good, but we will look forward to next year with new teachers and new friends. The good news is we are blessed because Wyatt has his best buddy at school who lives literally once street over. Not to mention, June is so active now, that I really have to work at keeping things interesting at the house. They both love to go outside and play, see new things and always up for an adventure. So, I need to get the play date list going.

This has been a long week..My Aunt lost her husband suddenly on Saturday, it really makes you think how precious time is. He was going thru chemo and doing fine.. then all of the sudden it was a scene from ER where he is flat lined on the table and we lost him. My Aunt is strong, but I know heartbroken and in disbelief. Monday and Tuesday my Dad went thru his round of test to see if he is still doing alright with his cancer.. we will know something in two weeks. I know he is still in pain everyday from his radiation, but never complains or shows it. Tuesday was a bad Mom day for me.. one of those I am not proud of. I lost my patience way to early in the morning.. and the day went on and on. I have to say Wyatt is really testing me and the boundaries. There is nothing like playing at a friends house and your child throws an all out fit leaving or tells you in front of people, "I am talking, leave me alone!" Really what do you do? At home he would of gotten a spanking with the spoon (yes, I spank) or serious timeout.. depends on my patience and the point in the day! At someone else's house, I tried the "look" the strict talking to and time out. It gets me nowhere, so I guess I will start carrying the spoon. It seems to be the only things that works, and I hate that. The other part is Emily June picks up on everything Wyatt does!
Wednesday was better, we played outside all day and Jenn, Brock, and Hudson to keep us company.. adult talk finally! We may only get a few sentences in or start a thought and finish it next time we see each other, but it is worth it!
Today was great. This morning we played with Jay, ate with Meema, and had Brock and Hudson over for late afternoon play date and pizza. I am grateful for good friends.

Lately, I have the best intentions to start sewing, so my mom and I went to Hancock's to get an "easy" pattern and fabric. The idea sounds like so much fun, the execution.. not so fun! I cut out the pattern, and started sewing. I thought I was doing great until I realized my Eazy 123 pattern is not so easy. I sewed the arms together. Which means I have to start over. Once I finish my Easy 123 patten I will post it.. but it may be a long while!

I want to keep Laura in my prayers who had surgery this week on her foot, she had an assist that needed to be removed and is in pain. Her Dr told her to keep her foot up.. seriously with 3 kids under 3 that is not going to happen. Also, Wyatt's friend Jay and his sister Anna are having surgery tomorrow as well. And Aunt Nanny... Please keep them in your prayers!
