A Happy Belated Mother's Day

I hope all the Mother's had a wonderful Mother's Day. Being a mother is the hardest job in the world and the most rewarding.
It has been a whirlwind weekend for us. But I was able to spend it with. Both my girls and my grandkids.
A big congratulations to Cait on her graduation.

Today I picked up our mail that the post office was holding, went to Walmart for groceries and I just finished vacuuming out the car and wiping it down. After all, Nic was in the far back in his own little space. Need to pick up Harlee from the bus pretty soon.

Her are a couple of cards that I made for Mother's Day.

Our Day in Seattle

Yesterday was spent in Seattle.
We started our day with breakfast at IHOP.
Then it was off to the Seattle Aquarium with the kids.
Kirsten visited a local skate shop.
Lunch at Ivars for Seafood.
Curtis had a stroll around Frys electronics while Nic napped.
Nana visited a favourite Stamp store while they found a park for the little ones.
We came back to the motel for some quiet time and had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe. Harlee really enjoyed it, but it was a little much for Nic.
Cait. Headed back to Tacoma for her class graduation party.

On the Road Again

We are off and traveling to the coast again. Kirsten and the kids are with us. We are celebrating Caitlin's college graduation.
It'a handy having a big rig traveling with this crew. Nic rides in the way back.
Last evening we went as far as Missoula. There was a huge herd of elk about an hour out of Missoula.
We were up and all ready to go within an hour and on the road shortly before 8:30.
It's a long day on the road, especially for two little ones.

My Spiffy New Glasses

I have been wanting to get new glasses for a while now. At the end of last year we found out our insurance no longer offered a discount for eyewear. So when it was open season for health benefit, I told Curtis we better find something to help defray the cost of glasses since we all wear them. Also dental, since I changed my status at work and no longer qualified for their dental.
Long story, I know. So, then I waited patiently until the new year. I went to our usual place and the first time it was closed and the next time the parking lot was so full I couldn't find a park. I thought the third time is a charm!!!! Not! They didn't accept the insurance we now have. It just can't be easy. I just wanted a new pair of glasses.
After we got back from Hawaii, Curtis and I were out for lunch. Across the street was an eye glass shop. I dragged Curtis in after lunch, and lo and behold, they took our insurance. Since I need to wear my glasses all the time, I wanted something stylish and fun. This is what I picked out. They are purple and green.

Beautiful Spring Day

Today has been such a beautiful spring day out . Warming temperature and NO wind. I worked outside for a couple of hours- pulling weeds and dandelions out of the garden boxes. Pulling over grown plants. Raking the last of the leaves. I am bushed. I am now sore. I was canceled from work and did this instead.
I ironed this morning and got all shirts ironed up for Curtis. I watched the Descendants while I did this, which brought back pleasant memories of Hawaii.
Supposed to work again tomorrow and we shall see if that happens. Will at least be on call. They are up to 9 babies.
