Field Trip and Play Date

Last Thursday we went to the Oklahoma Aquarium with Carrie, Mollie and Henry. We explored and looked at lots of fish and the girls got to touch a few things (a star fish and shrimp). It was a little difficult to participate in everything, as the hands on things aren't wheel chair friendly. It was neat point out to them all the big, small, typical and exotic creatures. I think the one-on-one time with Mollie was just as beneficial as the activities we did. The girls spent so much time giggling in the back seat on the way there and back.
We had a play date at our house on Friday morning. Lisa and the kids came over and everybody pilfered through the piles and piles of toys. They drew on the playroom walls with chalk and even had a few arguments over toys. Ahh, how wonderful it is to have friends you can fight with like sisters. What a blessing.
This weekend has been great family time, taking it easy and just hanging out together.
Starting tomorrow, we are back on a good schedule with therapy. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday... 2:15-4:15. That is a great schedule for the girls and puts them at getting a good balance of speech, physical and occupational therapies again. Oh, and it gives me 2 hours, 3 days a week all to myself! I can be a better mommy and teacher with a little bit of time to myself now and then.
