When I got there I was greeted and handed my schedule. I had SIX hours worth of patients to see. I kindly told them I was scheduled for three hours and they just smiled and said "Oh, no there must have been some confusion, we have you down for 6 hours" and pointed me towards a file cabinet to sift through and locate my patients charts. I am hoping to help a lot more on Friday's so I just smiled and said "Ok, no problem!". Oh my, Lance just got a whole lot more than he had planned for his day off. Me, I didn't mind so much. I really like working in skilled nursing. Being able to make a few extra bucks and turn back on a part of my brain that has been pretty much dormant since last April is nice for a change!
We spent much of the afternoon exchanging texts like:
ME: The girls patriotic clothes are hanging in Zoe's closet & the bloomers in a bin underneath
LANCE: Oh NO, I can only find one pair of "patriotic bloomers"!
ME: I need you to make a casserole too (insert about 15 texts with instructions and things that need to be added and omitted to keep it allergy friendly)
LANCE: I'm on it!
ME: Ok, swim suits are in Zoe's room, swim bag is on green chair in living room, sunscreen is in bag, pack snacks, bring swim diapers....
You get the idea!
But their AWESOME dad KILLED it. Everyone napped, everyone ate, everyone was dressed to perfection with chilled snacks in hand when I arrived at the Girod's house for our little party. I really was so proud of Lance and the thing is, it really was no biggie for him. He is SUCH a great daddy!
The day was great. Bethany is truly such a good, fun, thoughtful mommy and had made chocolate dipped frozen bananas, and frozen star shaped watermelon Pops for the kids. She went to great length to make sure no gluten or soy was in anything and that all of the treats were totally safe for everyone in our little allergy clan. The girls LOVED all of it and probably consumed more sugar that day than in their lives combined. It was so fun!! We swam and grilled and just had a wonderful family day. We were disappointed at first because we were going to have a few other friends over who ended up going out of town, but it ended up being the perfect, low key afternoon that I think we all needed!
We are loving that tomorrow is only Sunday and we have a whole extra day left to spend with Lance!
Nora that morning. She is an interesting little person. SO quirky and funny. Like really, such a goof!

Daddy & Nora with their sparklers ( I promise I love Zoe too, but she was too busy running around like a wild woman to get a picture or stop for such things as this!)
All the sweet cousins

This was today at chic fil a. Zoe LOVES her Aunt and Uncle. And she is much to big (in her opinion) for a high chair. She will sit at the table like a big girl thank you very much!

Lance's casserole
Lance's casserole was absolutely DELISH, but Betho texted me this picture and I had to chuckle! He forgot to crush up the chex on the top and just dumped them on. She said he came in with what looked like a very billowy casserole and when she opened it, it took some self control not to laugh. But Lance, it was SO yummy and maybe even better that way!!
Sisters....so thankful that we all get to share these holidays (and most every day) together and help each other raise our kiddos. It is such a blessing & if it weren't for Betho my kids for sure wouldn't have had such a fun filled day! (I think she tried to instagram the tired out of our faces here!)
Lance & his girls! Don't worry mom, I treated the clothes ASAP....no stains! :)
That about sums it up, I hope everyone had as great of a weekend as we did! :)
