ole schnikees: 2017

Tuesday morning, after breakfast, I cleaned up a bunch and Al helped me get the donation stuff into the car. so once Al was getting ready for work, Trevor and I ran it over and dropped it off. then we went to Jodi's to play and as we were leaving T had his biggest meltdown in the car. he had already had a morning of not listening and being mean, and then the meltdown was a lot. after lunch he took a 3 hour and 15 minute nap. after nap, we were outside or in the porch until 7pm. we had snack and supper in the porch, played mostly in the backyard, and watered our plants. then in for a movie so I could put laundry away, clean up, and get ready for the next morning/day.

Wednesday morning was Trevor's eye appointment in Marshfield at 930am. we got up early, had breakfast in the car, and drove to Marshfield. we got in right away and trevor was finally old enough to do the color blindness test and the 3d vision test and he passed both. after the doctor came in and did the usual tests, he explained to us that trevor's vision/cross eyes had stabilized and he felt more comfortable doing the surgery now. he also told us he was retiring in December and he'd like to be able to do trevor's surgery and post-op appointments so would like to get the surgery in this summer. we decided on august, so once we check on Al's work schedule to make sure he can get time off, we'll schedule the surgery. it will be out patient, lasts an hour 15 minutes, and trevor should have no pain and no limited activities other than not swimming for a week.

after the appointment, we went to our usual animal park and walked around. we then drove to Wausau, grabbed lunch, and met grandpa peter & auntie althea at Jeremy's house. we grabbed 7 bucket-fulls of rocks for our front garden bed from his house since he wants to get rid of the rock anyway. and then gpa peter and auntie althea got to see trevor. after a nature trail walk at Jeremy's house, we hit the road home. trevor did not sleep on the ride home, so we put him down for nap once we were home.

Thursday was my usual garage saling day and Al had off so he played with trevor all morning. then Al had his eye appointment (his vision got worse :(. then we went to the neighb's house for yummy tacos for supper.

this weekend it got hot out!! up into or close to the 80s! Al worked at 7pm on Friday so in the morning, T and I walked over to Jodi's house after stopping at 2 garage sales. we played outside there until lunch time then home to see Al and for nap. After nap, T and I drove up to the cities where we stopped at mom's quick to drop our stuff off, then went over to papa's house to see papa, grandpa neil, uncle munk and unc-o. we played outside with them for an hour then my dad had to leave, so T, unc-o and I grabbed supper and ate/played at mom's house until bed time.

Saturday morning, T, mom and I drove down to maren's house where I got to hold baby etta! then mom took Tula and Trevor to the park in their backyard while maren and I dug up some flowers for me to take home. we left about 11ish back to mom's house for a picnic lunch and nap time. after naptime, I went over to shane and Jodi's house for a little get together for Jodi's masters degree graduation. we had a grill out and bonfire, and I got to hold my baby Henrik! it was a good time and the first time in a long time that Jodi and I got to have real, full conversations since we didn't have toddlers running around. :) I ended up staying until midnight.

sunday was mother's day. after breakfast we went out in mom's backyard and got some things done. we planted her garden and played. then Trevor, Tyler and I drove over to woodbury to drop the flowers we'd planted off at my grama's grave and then stopped at papa's house to see him and auntie lynne after church. T and unc-o played Frisbee while we waited, and great uncle barry and great aunt Brenda stopped by on their way from church too. then back to mom's for homemade pizza for lunch. after nap, was softball time. we had lots of subs and our only left handed player forgot his softball stuff so we did not have high hopes for the game. after the first 2 innings we were down 7 runs but we ended up winning by 3 runs! I hit awesome and got on every time, I also had some great stretching catches at first for double plays!! then back to mom's for a little bike ride/walk down to the neighb's to meet their new weiner dog puppy, Charlie!

Monday morning, T and I headed home after a stop at the big, fun park in woodbury. once home, we unpacked, watered/checked on our plants/garden, played, got T's shorts out to be washed, and had lunch. then during nap time I planted the plants from maren quick before it rained.
