THE KOOL-AID MOM-KIND A, SORT A!

Today, I actually felt like the Kool-Aid Mom I always thought I'd be--and funny enough there was no Kool-Aid involved. Hmmm, maybe there should have been. What I mean is we finally have something for not only our kids to do in the back yard, but now neighbor kids to do as well. We haven't been the yard of choice to play in because we didn't have the "fun toys" for "fun stuff" so we always had to go play at someone else's house or in their yard. Since we got a swingset we are now a bit more popular! Carly and Jonathon are loving it.

We invited three of their friends over today and they had a blast playing in the yard with them. We even took their little trikes out and they got to ride on the cement. It was fun to watch them laughing and playing with their friends and to have some of my friends to sit and watch them with. It was a little rainy off and on today so it was cooler than it has been. Not that it was bad--it was still in the 60's. But, I probably should have broken out the Kool-Aid. I did give them all treats!

On another subject, Grandma checked in with the Orthopedic Surgeon today on her hip. He wants her to hit the physical therapy a little harder. She's had what feels like bursitis in her hip and it's doing somewhat better but kind of moving down her leg now--so it's still uncomfortable.

I finally get into my Orthopedic Surgeon tomorrow to have him check out this tear in my right arm. It's a small tear in something called the labrum, some soft tissue that helps stabilize the shoulder joint. It's been pretty darn sore and I'm hoping it can be helped with a cortisone shot like Grandma's was. I guess I will just have to wait and find out tomorrow.

Here are some cute pictures of the kids today.
