The weekend lens.....Friday night, I was working and J took the little kids out to pizza (T was at a football game with friends...boys AND just maybe a girl....yep he's old enough for that....and Ali said it best when she said...dear universe....any girl would be insanely lucky to be adored by this guy. His heart is so full.... and the rest will be T's story to tell). Anyway, back to pizza...a man sitting behind them anonymously paid for their whole bill...,maybe 'cause our girl shot him a smile and a wave. So sweet, and so inspiring after some struggles she had at school last week. We promised on FB to pay it forward.
Saturday, L's Soccer game, getting "caught up" on chores ( if that is possible). We cleaned out rooms, threw away stuff and gave stuff away to Goodwill. They all picked what they were going to keep and what they were going to give away. Down syndrome didn't seem to have much of an effect on the girls memory. She seemed to remember when and where every little trinket in her room was picked up (the dentist prize box 2 years ago etc....).... funny. The boys took apart a lot of their Legos and put in a big bin. We just couldn't organize according to sets. It was good, but also bittersweet. They are all growing up. The kids watched the Cosby show. I've seen every episode like 10 times. One of my favorites as a kid.
Sunday.....we ran one of our or favorite 10k races ( rainy and MUDDY!). Grocery shopping, stopping by a dream house (6000 sq ft) open house just for fun (seriously!). Then J left on his next trip, so a quiet rotisserie chicken dinner and reading on the couch night with the kids on Sunday night.
