Around Thursday of last week, boredom was beginning to set in. The kids were getting tired of "mommy school" and getting cranky. Mommy was getting cranky, too. But, help arrived! Thursday morning, Jake's two teachers, Ms. Nedra and Ms. Ashlan, came by and brought Jake all kinds of surprises! They brought him a laundry basket full of goodies from his class at school…puzzles, coloring books, playdough, paint…lots of fun! One of his friends had made him a build-a-bear with a surgeon's outfit that had a message for Jake. They also brought balloons, flowers for Mommy, and dinner. It was such a wonderful surprise! We all felt very loved and are thankful for the wonderful Christian mother's day out Jake gets to attend. I wish I would have thought to take a picture of Jake with his teachers. I did a bad job all weekend of not taking pictures.
The Basket of Fun!

Friday night we had more fun visitors. Pops and Nonnie came to visit us and play with the kids so Ty and I could run some errands. The kids had a blast with them: they took them on a walk in the stroller, for wagon rides, and played outside with them. Nonnie had the good idea to have the kids go on a pinecone hunt. They loaded up the wagon with pinecones from the yard and helped Daddy out a bit, too with some yard work :) A fun weekend!
Saturday night Ty's old roommate Ray came for dinner. He just got a new Viper which Jake loved sitting in:
Then, Monday, Jo Jo came over for the day and made Valentine treats with the kids. She bought lollipop molds and chocolate and they made chocolate heart lollipops. The kids love anything chocolate so they loved that and spending the day with Jo Jo.
The long weekend of visitors definitely perked us all up! We just have one week to go until surgery. Monday we need to be at the hospital at 7:45 for Jake's pre-op day and then his surgery is scheduled for 8:30 on Tuesday.
