Monday was a fun day. 🙂
We had a BBQ for Evva, my Mother-in-law, since her birthday was Tuesday, the 21st.
In the morning, we received “Ocean’s Eleven” (the old version) in the mail. So we thought we’d watch & then get ready to go. I’d already bought the buns and hot dogs and had everything bagged and ready. Jef had already made the cheesecake and potato salad. So we watched the movie … and watched the movie … and watched the movie … it got to be about 2:30 and we decided we’d better get ready & save the end of the movie until later.
Doug & Marie invited us over to their house around 4p.m. We got a little lost on our way there because I forgot to Mapquest. 🙁 But we made it, and were only a few minutes late. 🙂
Mom was there, as were Marie, Matthew & Jacob. Matthew looked so good! He was up and walking around, and even got on the trampoline later. God is SO good! We got to see his scar (it’s big and icky) and later in the evening Doug showed us pictures he’d taken of the wound and such. (pretty icky)
The boys had a lot of fun playing with Matthew & Jacob. They bounced on a trampoline for the first time – THEY LOVED IT!! So I guess if we ever get our own house with a yard, we will have to get one. 🙂
Mom liked her presents. The boys bought her a bear that sings “Singin’ in the Rain” while wearing a pink raincoat & boots. We got her a Thomas Kinkade music box. Doug & Marie were taking her shopping this week for her present. 🙂 The digital camera that Doug used for the pictures of Matthew’s leg was actually Mom’s. They’d got it for her for Christmas. 🙂
The food was great — I think barbecued hot dogs are the best! After dinner, we cleaned up and went inside to chat. The boys went upstairs and played a Star Wars game with Matthew, Jacob & their friend Michael.
Jacob tried to help Nicholas when Nicholas had an accident. Poor Jacob. Nicholas didn’t make it to the toilet in time & made quite a mess. So I had to give him a bath!! That was an ordeal – not the bath, the mess beforehand. 🙂
We had a nice visit & then around 9, we finally left Doug & Marie in peace. 🙂 We forget sometimes that other people have to get up early. :-O
So that was Monday.
