It was a hot day and the kids really needed to get moving. This is one of their favorite places. Laura practiced skateboarding for about an hour and Colin showed me his attempts at the “wall”. He did make it up when he wasn’t paying attention to the camera.
Just because Daddy is recuperating in beds with his leg strapped in a machine doesn’t mean he can’t play!
MacDougall is one happy boy when he gets to clean out the old peanut butter jar! He wishes his tongue was longer so he could reach the bottom!
Colin has a problem solving game where he has to write directions for the mice so they can get through mazes to the cheese. He also likes playing with the mice, Colby and Jack.
New magazines arrived in the mail!
I had surgery this week to repair damage to my hip leftover from years of skating.
Everything went well. It was day surgery and I was home by early afternoon. I now have 2-4 weeks on crutches and another 8-12 weeks of physical therapy after that.
The crutches are a pain to use but not as much as the Constant Motion leg mover machine that I have to sleep with. I strap in and it continually flexes my leg all night, only 14 nights left. Yay!
Feeling better each day.
I have no clue what was actually happening here, but it was cute!

Colin and Sarah spend a good amount of time today making a Rainbow Jello Cake.
It was a huge hit and looks amazing!
After 25 days on the road, everybody is happy to be at home together. The kids were excited to have a lazy morning working on their crates – before even getting dressed.
Colin is making puppets from his Kiwi Crate. Laura is making helicopters from her Tinker Crate.
