What a day! We dropped Levi and Carlos at school and went to KiDiMu this morning. They had a special talk on airplanes with a pilot and flight attendant. The kids liked that. They did some recycled art and we headed off to pick up the big boys and drop Alice at her school.
Got a call this afternoon from Baby X’s foster parents and they are back from their trip. So, they came and picked him up. It worked out well since it’s laundry day and all and it only took me a short time to get him all packed up. They were very excited to see him. It was interesting, and flattering, though when he reached out to me and wanted me to hold him over his foster mom. The baby’s been with us for 3 1/2 weeks so it only makes sense that he got bonded. He will be missed, I loved his goofy grin, but it’s a relief as well as the timing is just bad to have an extra baby.
Took Levi into the doctor’s to figure out why he is scratching the bejesus out of his back. Apparently this winter weather just has the poor boy’s skin seriously dry. So, he got a prescription for some allergy meds and wait, that wasn’t it…the doctor thought it would be good to get a couple of his shots out of the way. Lucky Carlos, who just had to come along to be with Mama K…he got a shot, too. I’m guessing next time he’ll choose to stay at home. It was awful but at least it’s out of the way.
Looking forward to tomorrow, some time alone with Trey in the morning then it’s off to Silverdale for the longest day of our week. A fun one, though!

The boys have been CRAZY today…I think it’s because of the full moon. Plus, Dee was still home at breakfast time this morning so it wasn’t our usual routine. She left for work and they went wild. We did some art, made some thank you cards and ran a couple of errands. Then they got to go to a friend’s birthday party at the gymnastics room and they loved that. Lots of swinging and running and tumbling and jumping.

Dee got home, we changed clothes, fed Baby X and headed out to drop the boys at Saturday Club. We LOVE this 5 hour break once a month! Dee and I took Baby X and headed to Silverdale to do some shopping for Levi and Carlos’ upcoming birthdays. Found some great stuff, so much easier to shop when they weren’t there. No more lies that what we buy is for their cousin, Luca. Eventually they are going to catch on to that lie.

This little video is Carlos coming in to give a goodnight hug. No sweet little peck on the cheek for our boys, it’s a running, sprawling, jumping hug. That’s just how we roll here!

Spent the day gorked out on pain meds and muscle relaxers. Not so fun. Today seems worse than yesterday, with a brief “feel better” period in the middle of the day and now back to “when are the meds going to kick in”
This is the first time I’ve sat in my chair and checked mail, I think that’s a first in a long, long time!
Fingers, toes and all crossed that tomorrow I’ll wake up “normal”. Poor Dee has got the brunt of the work, as I havent been able to take the laundry down in a couple days and it’s tough to pick up the baby. I’m doing all I can, but that’s limited for sure. Think we’ll end up ordering pizzas until all’s better, as cooking doesn’t work so well with Dee taking care of the 4 boys and me being just about useless. I hate this feeling!
Meds are kicking in so it’s almost time for bed.
