California Livin'

The boys didn't want to get out after their swim lesson this evening. Can't say I blame them! 🙌🏼🏊🏼💜

Obedience

I told him to go find a table and start his homework while I got Callum ready for soccer practice. ⚽️

Love it when they actually listen. 💪🏼😊

Labor Day Carnival

We spent half the day at our neighborhood's Labor Day Carnival yesterday! I volunteered to work at the ice cone machines again this year while the boys ran around getting their faces painted and playing games for prizes. (Jon was traveling all weekend so he didn't make it)

They had a great time - though Callum was a tad grumpy with me, off and on during the day. He's been fighting a head cold that has him feeling a little crappy, so he's not been in the best of moods.... As you can see from the first pic here. ;-)

Raging Waters

Yesterday, we spent the day at Raging Waters (a water themed park) with the Jodoins. The boys had a blast - so much fun that we ended up staying the entire day until they closed!

After, we grabbed dinner together, then headed to our house for a little iPad downtime before saying goodbye to our friends.

Once they left, I made the boys take a bath, because my skin was feeling tight and dry from the day at Raging Waters so I knew they'd be just as bad if not worse. I should've taken a pic last night - but didn't. Let's just say the ring left around the tub was grimy, dirty, and gross! Blech! :)

First game of the season!

Same color jerseys... and numbers! Callum is on the Green Knights team, while Logan is on the Jalapeño Poppers team! 👍🏼

Snack time!

We stopped at a frozen yogurt shop after school to grab a snack before Logan's soccer practice.

While eating, Logan had me look up how brain freezes work. I guess you could say it was a learning (and teaching) moment. 😂😂

Wrapping up

Today was our last clinic visit during Callum's chemotherapy treatment program! The next time we come in will be for his last spinal tap and bone marrow procedure (after he's done with chemotherapy)! Kinda crazy that the end of his treatment is only 2 weeks away!

We spent the usual time going over his meds and any concerns but then the rest/bulk of our visit turned to discussions about "the end" - what to expect on which days, confining last days of chemo, and then what our visits will begin to look like after he's done with treatment.

Our oncologist asked me - so have you thought about what you'll do when this is all done?

And, for the first time in a long time, I didn't have a solid answer! (Shocking, I know) ;-)

I know I'll be spending the bulk of my time volunteering at the boys' school (I'm already signed up for a slew of jobs), as well as more time volunteering at the hospital. I think I'll start up a few more remodeling projects that we want to finish at the house. But other than that, I'm not quite sure yet! I guess we'll have to wait and see.... :)
