updates

This week has thrown me off on so many levels. It's spring break, so my mom is off of work. We did a lot of stuff w/her, plus we had Jaden's eye appt today. Needless to say, I haven't done very good on my diet this week, I don't know why I even try!
Well, lets see. Monday was pretty uneventful. My dad worked on my van a bit. It needs something replaced on the air compressor, and I'm pretty sure it needs a new water pump. I can't keep antifreeze in it to save my life. He already replaced a hose that was leaking. I put on a new radiator cap, but nothing has fixed it. We can't find any other leak, hence why we've determined it needs a new water pump. SUCKS bc it seems like in the past month we've just been shoveling money into the van.
Tuesday, which I kept thinking was Thursday, we took Jaden to Troy to see Dr. Nesi. He seemed to agree w/Dr Nelson's 2nd opinion, that Jaden can wait to have the surgery. He said he too would have wanted to get a 2nd opinion after she did such a 180 on us, but he thinks she's a good doctor. He says we should keep getting him checked yrly, but he thinks we can wait probably another 2yrs to do the surgery.
Wednesday we took the kids to the Grandville mall. It has a kid playland in it, and Jaden LOVES it. Everything is padded so it's very kid friendly. I picked up the boys new Easter outfit shirts bc I had short outfits picked out for them. But, since it's snowing, I thought that probably wasn't the best idea to let them wear.
Thursday, which I kept thinking was Saturday, I went w/my mom, little sisters, my nephew, and Jaden to an indoor water park at the Double JJ ranch. It was fun, a lot better then Fullblast! Jaden did really good, though he did get tired about an hr b4 we were ready to leave. Luckily, Mimi isn't found of the water, so he sat out w/her. Once we got back into town, Shaun and Asher joined Jaden and I to go do some grocery shopping. We got all the supplies for the boys' Easter. They are going to be on a SUGAR HIGH! When we got home, we let J stay up past his bedtime to decorate easter eggs.




And today, we haven't done much yet. Jaden has a doctor's appt this afternoon. They want to make sure his bronchitis is gone, plus we might adjust his allergy meds. Right now he's on claritin and rhinocort (a nose spray). Then this evening, I need to go buy my nephew's b-day present, finish up shopping, and I think Mimi is going to take J to Build a Bear for his Easter present.
Happy Easter everyone!

Great news on waiting on Jaden's eye. It will be good to wait. Maybe surgey won't be needed by then. Sounds like you have had a busy week. Jaden looks like he had a great time decorating eggs!
