Caleb’s doing well and back to the playing field this week after being evaluated at urgent care after last week’s soccer game for a possible concussion. The doctor ruled out a major concussion at least, but doomed him to the rest of a Saturday without screens. But he lived to tell the tale—and he did stop that goal by a spectacular block with the back of his head.
He even recovered enough to model his shirt for the wedding.
Jason had a birthday! I made him a strawberry cake with cream cheese icing, as requested.
Maddie came over early and helped the other kids assemble his epic One Ring fire pit.
She also choreographed the presentation, accompanied by the theme music.
Jason loves it and says it is precious to him.
Caleb’s shirt notwithstanding, I still need to get a bunch of appropriate wedding clothes. You’d think the list would be like “Dresses for girls; suits for boys,” but no, the list just keeps multiplying.
“Return ugly shirts. Resize and try on. Exchange too-tight dress. Find shoes for all the girls. Schedule alterations. Buy a purse that’s not raggedy. See if the guys have belts. Buy Caleb shoes 3 sizes bigger than the current shoes which fit him five minutes ago. Etc.”
I hope to accomplish some of that on spring break next week. According to Lizzy’s diligent countdown, we have 2 days left until break and 24 school days left til the end of the year.
We also have 9 days left until our church Easter program, which is probably (?) under control? On the plus side, we do have live animals being delivered. On the minus side, we don’t have a fence to put them in. The program would probably be way more memorable with rampaging donkeys on the loose though, so how bad can it be?
