Our Week in Review

My Dad is doing better-that is good news.  He isn't out of the woods yet though, he goes back to dr. on Tues to check his finger.  Last I saw of it, it was still gross.  He got out of the hospital Tues. morning.  I think they were scared if they didn't let him go, we'd take the twins back.  We went to visit him twice on Monday.  I don't think the kids did too bad at the hospital.......Dad kind of helps them get rowdy.  He made latex glove balloons for them and pretended like they were shaking him out of the bed.  Anyway, we're glad he's on the road to recovery.  :-) 
I must say, it's made me a bit on edge as far as watching for snakes.  Emmy always kicks her shoes off in the yard so I'm a nervous wreck when we are playing. 

We haven't done a lot this week, just ran a few errands here and there.  Cousin Hunter made the twins lunch on Wed.  He knows how to cook eggs in the microwave (at my grandma's).  He pushes the numbers and all.  He was so proud.  I took the babies to play with him because we had a bit of cabin fever.  After chasing all 3 for a few hours, I was cured of my cabin fever and ready to go home!  :-) 

Today I finally, finally cleaned out my car.  Well, I cleaned out everything that didn't belong in the car.  The car is something......the kids started eating in the car in March when we were going back and forth to take my grandpa several days a week to radiation.  It just snowballed from there.  Toys started showing up in the car then too.  My sister offered to pay someone to clean it for me.  I am going to have it professionally cleaned....but that couldn't happen until I got our "stuff" out.  The twins "helped" me clean the car by hopping from front to back, pretending to steer, etc.  Here is just a little of what came out of the car:

• 4 cases of toilet paper (I love a bargain!)
• 4 pairs of kids' shoes
• flip flops for someone-they don't fit me....maybe a sister?
• 3 bags/boxes of toys
• 1 large black garbage bag of trash
• 1 sippy cup-gross!
• a bag of goldfish-the kids thought this was awesome
• 3 bags of clothes & Christmas gifts (again-bargains!)
• 2 kids' bag chairs (xmas gifts-don't tell the twins)
• 8 dresses on hangers for Emmy & a big bag of clothes for her that someone gave us
• 2 strollers
• 6 blankets-in case we get stranded you know.....
• 3 coats- again....stranded.....may need them
• 2 containers of bubbles-kids again thought this was awesome
• our pool bag-with swimsuits and towels for everyone-for an impromtu swim

I think that was about it....or about all I can remember! 
Oh, and there were about 1 million goldfish and cheerios in the car.  There are about 1/2 of that still in there.  Once it's cleaned-no more eating in mommy's car!!!!!
