Grandma sleeps over for the weekend


we went to the children's festival

diedre got her face painted which she has been wanting done for weeks!!!

just after this picture, diedre was chasing a balloon over gravel and fell, scraping her hip and leg and getting chunky dirt in her ankle. i brought her to the first aid station and she FREAKED out. i guess after having chicken pox she is way more sensitive to forced medicine on cuts and she still cries and says no to having baths (whereas she used to love them). poor kid. she had a major tantrum and i wasnt sure if we'd have to leave, but i tried to be compassionate give her a chance to calm down and enjoy the day, she was injured after all and probably scared :(

my mom and i and the kids had a great weekend together while derek worked a long day on saturday and then my step-dad and him milled all the wood on sunday. diedre got to go to church for the first time in 3 weeks and was so excited to play with friends again. we have been trying to get out more as i see that my kids social needs are as high as mine :)

another exciting thing is my mini-garden is growing!!! yay! i cant wait for peas and carrots. should be tasty :)
