having a little fun...

I'm a little behind... which may be a relief to some of you who are thinking, "does she HAVE to blog EVERY DAY?!"  So today is a Tuesday and I'd like to flash back to Saturday... I know it's asking a lot... time travel without a DeLorean... but bear with me :-)

Saturday morning I was super excited to escape the confines of my house and go to a crafting party at my friend Lindy's home.  Yes you read that right... morning.  Only Lindy would have a party on a Saturday morning. 

Tired?  Yes.  Groggy?  Yes.  Happy to be getting out of the house?  YES!  So I drove (since I did so well driving the day before when I took Lily to the groomer) and got there alright.  I hung out there, in the comfiest seat in the house, and crafted my little heart out.  Too bad I didn't think to take pics until after everyone else left!  Below are examples of the two cards we made. 

Cute huh?!  I also made a back to school banner so I can look like a super mom but you'll have to wait to see that until after Labor Day.

I hung out for a while after the party, making my banner... Lindy has this fantastic machine that cuts out anything you could possibly want (shown here operated by her mother-in-law).

I had so much fun that I ignored the increasing ache in my leg... until it got to the point where I couldn't ignore it.  I also couldn't stand on it very well, and I couldn't drive.  So Dave had to come pick me up at Lindy's.  Sigh.

DAY 2 OF FUN....

I gave myself a day to recuperate from that... I didn't have much choice since my leg was refusing to cooperate with my desire to get out of the recliner.  Yesterday, I gave it a shot again, this time with more success.  I'm attributing the success to the fact that I didn't stay in one place the whole time but I also didn't try to overdo it.  Lily was not happy to see us leave :-(

We went to Midway, in Taylor, to play some mini golf...

 

er... well... Amerah and Dave played golf, I watched.  It was Amerah's first time playing and she enjoyed herself immensely!

After mini golf, we let her go on the bouncy thingy (yes, that would be it's official name).

 

Afterward, Amerah pretended to be a monkey and Dave and I pretended that Michigan really DOES have palm trees...

We followed a lovely evening out with dinner at IHOP where Dave ordered FOR THE FIRST TIME from the senior citizen menu... Bwahahahaha

  

All in all a successful day out!  Looking forward to more family days when my leg has healed and I am more mobile so that I can participate!
