July 17

Friday:  I had a routine doctor appointment this morning and so was delayed in picking up the kiddos until nearly 12:30. But I'm glad I went to my appointment. X-rays were obtained of my right foot and thankfully I do not have a midfoot fracture, only a 4th toe fracture ... which at least explains the pain of the last 10 days or so.

We ate a little lunch as soon as arriving at my place. Dylan and Kelly are attempting a gluton-free diet for Brendan, so we changed up our meal a little bit. It was not well received, but I think we did OK. Brendan at least ate a hot dog (without a bun), some cheese, some watermelon and then had two bowls of Cap'n Crunch Berry Cereal. Aidan had a little bowl of cereal too. Erin eats almost whatever is put on her tray, so I never am very concerned about her being hungry.

 I had ordered a POKEMON Encyclopedia for Brendan's use while here with me. I also intend to look through it so that I can begin to understand this fantasy world a little bit at least.

 Erin was dressed in her pretty Frozen princess dress and interacted very happily with Matey, as usual.

 I set the water stuff up on my front porch and driveway today, just for a change.

 And I got out all of the bubble stuff that I own--lots and lots of bubbles were flying about with three kiddos playing.

We managed to survive another super HOT day at my house. So thankful for these sweet little children.
