Long story short: My camera’s memory card was full and cut short the egg opening video. Bill grabbed his little cam and recorded a bit more, but I didn’t have his memory card last night. Here is the “dramatic ending”. 🙂

This project has been “done” for a while now, other than deciding what to do with the lower section. It was meant to be some shelves/cubbies but the boys like getting in there too much!

Brendan gets a real workout on these stairs now. Trevor calls it his restaurant, he likes to pretend to serve food through the window. Brendan loves to play catch on the stairs.

I can still have my shoe organizer thing because it has been the best way for me to keep track of all of the boys’ clothes.

We had a little “surprise egg” fun with the boys this morning.

It certainly didn’t go quite like I expected, but it was still hilarious. The eggs were made of papier mache and filled with candy, stickers and treats. (luckily nothing delicate!) The rainbow egg comes from Brendan’s favorite episode of Team Umizoomi.

And of course the rest of the day was filled with Lego time.

Brendan is still doing fabulous without the ventilator. Most nights he does not even need oxygen.

We will be thinking about Uncle Robert during his heart procedure tomorrow. We all hope it brings a rapid recovery. Big hugs to the whole east coast family!

This morning we had Brendan’s quarterly checkup with the cardiologist for EKG and Echo. He was such a trooper today and cooperated to a level I haven’t seen in at least a year. I was very proud of him! They got great views with his cooperation and it was an A+ checkup again. No leaky valves, strong pump, good rhythm.

As his reward, I took him in to the “game store” where he wanted to go so badly yesterday. He couldn’t stop talking about a Lego guy with a starred helmet. So we bought a few “guys” with cool helmets for him. He picked out all the pieces.

We painted eggs for some fun this afternoon. The eggs looked awesome until the paint dried. Washable paints really stink if you want good color saturation. 🙂 They still liked the activity.
