So, as it happens there was so much cuteness yesterday it required two posts. Despite living walking distance from the mall, we rarely make it. I decided for our trip yesterday that's where we'd go. We left our get well cards for Grandma to dry and headed out.
They each got a new oufit (there was a good sale at Old Navy), had lunch and played in the play area before we went home. After nap it was off to deliver our get well cards.
Grandma was pleased with her cards and seemed to be doing pretty well. I kept looking at Riley's new shoes and wishing they came in my size!
After everything had wound down (dinner, bath and jammies were done) Daddy helpped Riley take some pictures. Here's one of the best ones:
It was a clear indication of how much better things are that I got the kids, myself and the wheelchair loaded, unloaded and manuvered on not one, but two outtings. On a side note I think I'm already over this hair cut. I'm gonna start growing it out. I'm glad the kids had fun today, but I really need a trip to the mall without them. Besides some giftcards burning a hole in my pocket I really need to get some work clothes. I have about three business appropriate outfits at this point. Maybe next week while Isaac's at summer camp.
I love this blog, you are a great mummy wish you lived closer to me! You are just getting on being a mummy, up to happy things, gosh you know what I know well mothers who would feel exhausted after getting up early and helping children be arty with home made cards! Yet you are trudging off to a mall too which I know myself with wheelchair, children,finding shoes, struggling to put shoes on, finding phone, realising phone some where other than bag, searching for phone hahaha all these things when creaky is a lengthy slightly exhausting task. I love the fact you just show the world us disabled parents do it all with a smile rather than with a frown! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy, but Mike works from home part of the week and some days he just needs me to get the distrations (kids) out of the house for a few hours. So, there's extra motivation.
