In which I discuss all the boring details of my days

It was a busy weekend, and a busy start to the week as well.  Thursday was meant to be the last game of the season for the twin’s baseball team, but it rained.  So then it was Friday instead.  This was a blessing in disguise, because now I was able to go to the game along with my mother-in-law who had been out of town.  They won that game, and therefore made it to the rookie league championship game the next day.  That game unfortunately was at the same time as Cutie’s naptime, and it is a cardinal sin to mess up her nap schedule.  So I had to miss the big game.  But all is well, because they won!  I’ve never been prouder of all my boys (Rob was the coach again this season).

Two weeks ago, I received the twins test scores.  I thought it was weird that I didn’t get Annie’s too, but it was close to the weekend, so I figured hers would come Monday.  They didn’t.  Days passed, and still hers didn’t come.   So finally I called Seton and apparently, they somehow lost her test.   I’ve been using Seton for 5 years for testing and this is the first time I’ve ever had any issues.  So, they sent me a new test and refunded me the money for the one they lost.  Poor Annie had to take it again (she was not pleased, as you can imagine) but since it was the exact same test, she breezed through.  I finally got it back in the mail today, and I just pray I get the scores back well before July 1, so I can get everything sent to the school in plenty of time.

Today was Cutie’s weekly therapy session, and it was an interesting one.  The therapist asked for Cutie to wear shoes during therapy, to help her with balance.  No easy feat–baby hates shoes.  She’s gotten better about it, but she still gives me a bit of a dirty look when she sees me bringing her shoes over.  Well, her left shoe never stays on, and today it just kept coming off.  Finally we decide to just let her be barefoot and see how she does.  Now, I’ve noticed before that her feet are long and skinny, a bit flat and her toes curl over each other, but the therapist thinks that it could be what is causing her to not walk, since it affects her balance.  It makes sense, but I don’t know what that means for the long term.  I suppose it will be a wait-and-see kind of deal.    In good news, Cutie signed “all done” for the first time. I’ve never done sign language with any of the older kids, but they were all extremely verbal, so it was never necessary.  Cutie definitely likes to challenge me in all things.

The rest of the week is looking to be a bit more relaxed, and we’ll all be home in the evenings now that baseball and scouts are all over for the summer (until the bridging/crossover ceremonies next week).   If the weather cooperates, I’d like to do some nature study down at the pond again, and I definitely need to devote some time to the weed-fest that once was the vegetable garden.  I love having a garden, but man do I hate weeding.

Well happy Monday everyone!
