The gorilla

1. Pat's visit

Mike's mom came in this weekend because she has work in Indy on Tuesday.  I haven't seen her since my sister's accident when she came in and saved us.  Holy -- what and amazing lady.  Yesterday we went to lunch and Toys R Us.  Then Mike and Pat went out for Tony's bday.  This afternoon we plan on going to the apple orchard.  We had breakfast and now those two are taking naps. 

2. Coffee
I started drinking coffee again.  This was from yesterday morning.  I personally didn't drink all 4 of those Kcups but I thought that it was an perfect snapshot of our morning.

3. Gorilla project
Last week in Owen's class newsletter there was mention of a class gorilla.  If I remember correctly, the gorilla was going to everyones house and then the family had to do something with a book or take pictures or something….that the child report back to the class.  I know -- great memory.  WELL, on friday night owen comes into my room crying because he left his gorilla in grandpa's car.  I was confused because I forgot about the newsletter and told him not to worry we will go first thing in the morning and get it.  In the morning, he didn't mention it and neither did I.  Well on Saturday morning Mike and my dad picked up the new windows and my dad placed a pile of all of their school supplies on the ground.  So we now have the gorilla but no book and no clear instructions (except from a 4 year old).  My dad says that he sort of remembers a book in a bag which is still in his locker at school.  So this weekend we are just sort of winging it with the gorilla AND I am going to be THAT mom….again.  Awesome.  So we took some pictures of the gorilla and plan to have them printed out later this afternoon.  ……this should be interesting.

Oh, and the picture below…the gorilla was helping me fold laundry.  And for those of you investigating the photos you can sort of make out the Captan America to the left on my bedside table (he is behind my cup).  Cameron brought that to me so that I could drink his powers.

4. Funerals & Showings
This week I had two different showings to go to.  On Thursday night I took the kids because I figured the Able jude would also be there --and they were.  Josh and I took them all outside and it actually became a productive evening.   Love having cousins all the same age.

5. The weather
How could someone not be grateful for such beautiful days.  I can not get enough of this weather.
