I know it has been a long time since I posted, but the reason is quite simple. The big girls have been with their Ama and Papa in Charleston, WV this weekend, so I haven't seen them since Friday afternoon. I didn't even do a car craft with them on Friday before I dropped them off in Cambridge because we were more focused on eating our lunches than doing craft. That being said, I dropped them off with my MIL with a craft to do in the car- they were coloring puzzles. I thought that would be something different, and exciting. Penny has become an amazing puzzle putter-togetherer lately!
Saturday, they went to the Clay Center for an Easter Eggstravaganza which apparently included NUMEROUS crafts. I have also seen pictures of rabbit ear hats that they made yesterday as well as Easter necklaces that they made today.
I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to my family who has been so instrumental in keeping the girls doing crafts every day that they have been without me. I am quite sure that they are absolutely annoyed at times hearing me beg them to remember to do craft while they have the girls, but it has become a mission of mine to make sure that they get to do a craft every day. This week will test my new years resolution to the fullest, and I am going to need all the warm fuzzies I can get sent our way...
Tuesday, Coraline AND Penny have surgeries. Penny will be a simple adenoidectomy which should help her breathing and her horrible snoring. I guess I probably shouldn't say "simple" because it is still anesthesia, it is still a hospital visit, and it is still stressful, but it is simple compared to Coraline's surgery. C is having her cleft palate repaired Tuesday as well. It is a 2-3 hour surgery in which they will make numerous incisions inside of her mouth and bring the uvula together into one piece. She will be in elbow braces for 2 weeks so that she cannot put anything hard/sharp/etc in her mouth, and for 3 weeks she will be on restricted diet of mainly soft foods that do not require work to swallow. I am not sure if it just hasn't fully processed that this is actually happening, or that I am totally at piece with it, or if it is just the fact that it has been pushed back FOUR times now and I am so ready to have this phase of our lives behind us that I am ready go for it. I don't know. But, as it stands, it is 12:30 and I have to be up in 6 hours, so I am going to bed now.
