We had a full week of festivities to celebrate Vossy Boy. I'm still hurting a week later from the HIIT class on Monday. I snuck out of clinic early to bring cupcakes to Voss' class and McD's for lunch. He was so bummed his Birthday fell on a Monday this year. "Why did they do that, Mom?!" I had to laugh and explain that the days change every year and that he could celebrate all week! That means I also ate way too much cake this week! To kickoff literacy week, I read in Voss and Abby's class (Magic Treehouse and then Double Fudge). We had Voss' favorite lasangna and blue cake for dinner. On Tuesday I skipped tennis for a SAC and DCCPTA meeting, only to find out the DCCPTA meeting was moved to Thursday. So it turned into a weird morning where I just spend way too much time editing the summer road trip video. I think I finally finished it today, though. Mom checked out the TCC bridge group and dad hung with me for the afternoon. Wednesday we had a PTSA coffee meeting and then I ran errands, took Spot for a walk then had a recall appointment with Honda for something electronic. Dad came over while mom went to book club. We listened to Ian's Cutco sales pitch and bought another knife. Thursday, Kerri and I got to play together at Jax Golf (and win!). I got some amazing book recs for next month from Hillary, my new friend. I met Jess and Steph for a catch up lunch at Bodrum. Friday I took my parents to the WJCT Lunch & Learn, the current landscape of Alzheimer's. We had Tidbits and enjoyed the presentation. I'm so glad mom was open to going! My biggest take away is that memory loss is not a normal sign of aging like I thought it was. My dad was mad I wouldn't let him take the mic during the Q&A. Mom was mad they were not further along in the treatments. So, it was a rough afternoon. I didn't get much of a break before the super sleepover to celebrate Voss and Abby's Birthdays. Phil luckily took the boys to play laser tag. Ellie sat with the girls at the TCC pool (we had two gorgeous days of weather!) while Marly and I went to WD. I whipped up a batch of chili for Abby and hotdogs for Voss. More cake and candy! I was very much ready for bedtime that came too late. Phil set up a family zip lining date at UNF to celebrate the Birthday kids. It was so much fun! We had burgers for lunch then had a chill afternoon. Marly saw a movie with Addy. Ellie had a dinner date with friends. Phil and I went to our friend's change of command at FYC and then the Nutcracker board dinner. This morning we served at mass and now we're taking it easy. After all the Alzheimers talk this week, I am trying to do a 18hr fast. Ugh today is no fun for that. Here are the pics of the week.
