Big news of the day… I got my laptop back!!! I am super stoked for a number of reasons. First, it went to Memphis, TN, got repaired, and was sent back for me to pick up today. Two days! Second, they replaced the logic board and magsafe board, and decided to cover it with my AppleCare plan! Free repair! WHEW!! Third, they happened to notice a couple sticky keys and a trackpad that did not meet diagnostic standards. Replaced! Cool! I am happy with Apple today! I love my little macbook and I am so glad to have it back.

Next up, we have a nurse going on leave for a month. We tried to interview someone new today but it was not great. I stress so much about this whole process. I am truly tired of the ever changing parade of people that I have to welcome in to my home. It is wrong when I am scared to decline a candidate for fear that the next one they send will be scarier. Just when we finally get comfortable with someone, it is time to change again.

Here’s a series of spider-boy pictures just for Gramma.

And some spycam fun…

Trying something new

Oops

Pillows are overrated

The rolled up blanket worked pretty well last night. There were no captured falls from bed. There were some funny sleeping positions. 🙂

There was a little of something else going on

Brendan had a good day. He quietly plays with his iGuy while he gets his vest treatment. We are trying to get him used to 30min a day wearing the vest so that if he gets sick, it won’t be scary.

Trevor had a crazy afternoon running errands with Bill. They got to go to Wendy’s and enjoy free a Jr Frosty, go to the toy store, and then a stop for some groceries and a trip to the pharmacy. Busy boys! When they got home, there was a belated birthday package waiting for the boys to open.

Trevor knows just what to do

As soon as he saw the box, Trevor started saying “Scissors! Cut! Open! Car wash! Car WASH!!” (It does have a car wash in it) It was crazy to assemble, but they played with it for hours tonight. Thanks, Rachel!

They liked the box too

Peek

Poor Trevor had three instances of rolling out of the bed last night. He handled it very well, but we have to do something. Tonight, I tried putting a thick rolled up blanket under the fitted sheet on the edge of his mattress. Maybe just feeling the edge will help keep him in bed!!

My day began with a trip to the Apple store to drop off my laptop for service. Trevor got his first experience with the mall. We did a couple laps while we waited for the store to open.

He impressed lots of people with how he sat so nicely and played with iPads while I took care of the service. My laptop should be on its way to a service center now, in a few days I should have answers.

This afternoon, the boys had a little craft project to do.

“Better take a big drink for this one”

“What? You didn’t know I was ambidextrous?”

Trevor says, “Oh yeah, try four markers!”

Tada! Trevor shows off his creation!

“Peek!” Brendan’s artwork is ready too!

Aaaaaaaand…..HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY, GRANDDADDY!!!

(Trevor has to peek in the ‘O’ too!)

They won’t say “Happy Birthday” themselves, but they will sing. (loud obnoxious singing follows, check your volume!)

We hope Granddaddy had a great birthday!
