Our week in review

Just climbing a tree in the grocery store parking lot

Chris from the PBS show Wild Kratts joined me today at Locust Shade Park for our creature power adventure. "Chris" spent a lot of time packing for the trip and made sure to bring along his journal and colored pencils, not to mention our picnic blanket that I am pretty sure was named something else.  Down by the pond seemed like a pretty good place to write and draw. 

No fishing from this dock so we enjoyed feeding the fish leftover lunch.

Friday was Boyd's school dance.  He was the perfect date.  He picked out his vest from Ethiopia to look fancy, gelled his hair, and sang and danced the night away. Of course we hit up our new neighborhood fro yo place on the way home too.

Prior to getting dressed up he had to get filthy while adventuring in the new part of the neighborhood.

Boyd had eye surgery Wednesday and lived up being the "patient". Everyone spoiled him and we finished the night with some tasty fro yo.  Since he had done great and was doing great Wednesday afternoon and night I sent him to school on Thursday. When I picked him up for his post operative appointment I almost freaked out because his eye was closed. He and his teacher told me he hadn't opened it the whole day. Apparently some eye boogers made it stick and instead of having his teacher call me to come wipe it with a wet cloth he told her he was supposed to keep it closed.  Oh Boyd. Once it was wiped out he said, "Oh yeah, my eye is fine." "Everyone kept asking me about my eye today." I can't believe he didn't have a terrible headache. Oh Boyd, you keep me on my toes. 

Pre surgery. He kept the checkmark on for two days.

Our dear friend Yihunlish brought us back some traditional Ethiopian dress clothes so we had to model them for the camera.  They are handmade and just beautiful.
