Well the week was very busy and went quickly. Tuesday my mom took the afternoon and all of Wednesday off to come hang out with us. Monday afternoon we went to the Museum of Natural History in Macbride Hall on campus. That was really neat. They have quite the extensive display of animals. There was a HUMONGOUS ground sloth that was quite scarry to Ellie. She didn't want to stick around to look at that or the prehistoric fish. After enjoying the museum we got a dinosaur egg that had bones inside to glue your own dinosaur together afterward after you pretend you are a paleantologist and dig them out. It was quite dusty finding all the bones in the egg but we did it in one day. Now my hand is bruised from the hard wooden chizel I used to dig the bones out while Ellie used a brush to dust it away.
Wednesday we got to watch Ethan and Haley fur a few hours until their dad got off work and that was fun. We went to the pedmall and played on the play ground and in the fountain for a little while. Then had a picnic that turned into an inside picnic due to rain. Ethan was sad to leave because he was having fun. Tuesday night we went to Hu Hot for dinner because Ellie loves the idea of picking her own food and watching the guys "chop it" to cook it in front of her. Then she saw chop sticks which she called "pork chops" and ate her meal with those. Quite impressive, although they were rigged to use the easy way by pinching them.
Thursday Ethan and Haley hung out with us again and after radiation we just hung out at the RMcD House. There are plenty of other children there to keep them busy for the day. After Jesse picked them up Ellie and I went to the movie Ponyo. It was adorable. If anyone is contemplating seeing it I would suggest YES! The artwork is beautiful, the story is prescious and the characters are adorable. I LOVED IT! It's animated but not like many movies these days. It's different but still great! Just looking at the pictures, soft colors and the artists' take on things is really beautiful. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Friday went smoothly at radiation. I had to say goodbye to the RMcD House staff and the radiation staff because I don't think I'll see them again soon. Everyone was amazing to us. Ryan will go with her for the last 3 or 4 days. Now we are confused when our last day is. Doing the math we think the last day is Wednesday but they told us Thursday last week. So Dolly has to look it up to confirm. If they are home Wednesday night then we'll probably send her to school Thursday and Friday so that's exciting. If it's through Thursday we'll give her Friday to rest up and be ready on Monday to start. She is going to Jane Wilson's daycare for afterschool care until Ryan gets off, which doesn't seem to be too long, maybe an hour. Javier and I went to Jane's Daycare when we went to the Lab School. We are excited to have her in both that school and daycare!
Well, we'll see some of you sooner and others later. Thanks for keeping up with us and have a great weekend and next week!! Good luck to all students going back to school and to teachers starting another year teaching. Hope the students treat you well. ;)
