Kindergarten Physical - March 19
Henry had his kindergarten physical this week. Somehow I completely forgot that this would involve shots. Eek! I must have blocked it out of my mind. He is growing like a weed and doing great! I told him after shots he could go to lunch with me. He wasn't sad for long.
What could be a better way to celebrate a fabulous physical than enjoying a milkshake and cheeseburger at McDonald's? We had to kill a few hours before my doctor's appointment, so we enjoyed some time in the play place.
We even had time to run to Sunset Park in Council Bluffs for a little outside time!
After my appointment was over, we made a quick stop at Starbucks so I could grab some coffee. Henry decided he needed a snack too.

We made Angry Bird pizza for dinner. Despite the shots, I think we had a pretty good day.
K'nex - Fun for One - March 16th
Henry received a duplicate gift for his birthday, so we returned it and found a fun Mario K'nex set on clearance for $17! I was really excited because it was originally $59.99 and I had been keeping an eye on it for quite a while.
I didn't take into consideration the fact that I have ZERO patience when it comes to building toys. I think I cried last time I had to put a Chuggington set together.
So I open this box of pieces and started to laugh. The instructions were 27 pages long! The box contained about five bags of pieces. Each bag had a billion pieces that had nothing to do with each other inside. Good times.
Oh, look! Page 11.
OMG. Happy dance! 6 HOURS later, this thing was finally done. YAY!!!!
The toy is super fun and the boys love it. The ghosts are hooked up to pieces under the floor that spin when you turn a piece in the back. Henry found another set at the store a few days later. Heck no! I need at least a month to recover.
Back to Ames - March 15th
It seems there isn't much left for me in Ames. It's weird to travel back now and have it just be a place we all used to live.
My Aunt Mary passed away unexpectedly on Henry's birthday, so I made a trip back for her visitation on Saturday. It was nice to see family again, although we decided we need to plan a picnic or something happy this summer to ensure we see each other under happier circumstances.
Mom and I did get to enjoy some quality time together and thankfully the Cyclones won their game, which made the day a little more pleasant.
Saying Goodbye - March 9th
After a wonderful visit, Mammie had to return back to Arizona. We had a quick lunch at Panera on the way to take her back to the airport. Time went by WAY too quickly. Can't wait until we are all together again.
Sunshine - March 10th
After a day of feeling icky, we were very happy to have some beautiful weather. It was 72 and sunny at 5:45 p.m. and we took advantage of the nice weather and extra hour of daylight.
Emma stayed the cleanest out of everyone.
They don't like each other at all.
