We are wrapping up our first full week of summer. The boys are sleeping in most days until 8, if not later. B finished 4th grade much stronger than he started. The last quarter he had 6 As and 2 Bs. So proud of him.
We went back to the ortho today with B. His palette has not expanded much at all the last 2 weeks. That means I am either having issues turning the key (I did fine the previous 2 weeks) or the notch is somehow slipping. I hope the former and not the latter. I don't know if we have any other palette expander options if this does not work. We now have to go back every week.
We recently attended a neighbor's graduation party. Several families had rented out the rec room at the local university. There was a huge table of food, bowling, shuffle board and pool. Everything was free, which the boys thought was too cool. They had a great time hanging with the other kids and having the run of the place. They especially liked it when they turned the bowling into disco bowling.
The allergy season has kicked Jbird and I this time around. We usually get allergies for 10-14 days every spring. They have been so bad this year. Poor Jbird can't sleep well, cause he can't breath. I even took him to the doctor. It was irritating because I got the 'it could be allergies or cold, but probably viral and there is nothing we can do for him - give it 2 weeks.' Ugh. I sure hope it is not around for 2 more weeks. All the over the counter meds are not working.
We celebrated a birthday this past week. This guy.....
JB woke up one day and determined that it was Michael's birthday. He was pretty insistent that we have a party. So we baked a cake and invited a few friends over. We even sang happy birthday. JB put 6 candles on the cake, although he is much older than that. I don't remember for sure when he arrived on the scene, but I remember many nights sleeping with him. So fun seeing him being passed down.
Pretty quiet weekend ahead. We will do some cleaning in preparation for JR's niece, who flies in Monday for 6 weeks. I think the boys are looking forward to having her around. We have not seen her since 2008 (although JR has....)
