sunny easter.

what a gorgeous weekend it was :) recently, EJ and i decided that during the evenings, we want to go on walks. so after dinner, we head out and just walk to the park with everyone, play for a few, and walk back. the kids just adore it.




and so does EJ.

we stayed away from a lot of public places this wkend in case reese's counts were low. on friday, we made rice eggs to play around with. reese stuck them all down her shirt. lol


on saturday, EJ made the girls a tent with all the couch cushions lol it was a riot. they just kept going in and out... so fun.


sunday was easter -- my parents and matt came over for dinner :) (and a huge thank you to the sweet friend who made the girls these initial shirts. i LOVE them!!)



and another silly --- i walked into the room and sawyer "brushing reese's hair" - she said she even used detangler on it LOL i died.

reese thought it was fun, too, apparently. 

silly girls.

this weekend really has been awesome. its nice to just play around the house and see reese having fun with her sisters. and the weather puts everyone in good moods ;)

so here's a little IG recap, too (punkfictionv4) - you may notice reese walking (with help) with a cart in one of them (yeah yeah super blurry)!! that was today :)

day to day.

this new normal is hard. mainly bc i am not used to just.... sitting around. we'll get used to it, of course. schedule changes are hard no matter what its for.

i am going back to trying to do photo 365. i skipped 2012 (even though, i guarantee i only missed a few days between the dslr and camera on the phone).

i tried to do something different at first. i played with the macro a bit this week --

the past couple of days have been filled with crafts, legos, silly photos with my UWA... dog bowls... lol

luckily, ASM are pretty quiet while R sleeps. which is nice bc R neeeeeds a good nap during the day to stay happy ;)

omg these were for aidan. she was DYING LAUGHING at her faces when i showed her.


now while everything seems so... "normal", wednesday was interrupted by chemo. she had a vincristine appointment. aidan came with. :) which was fabulous bc reese was so giggly with her and showed the dr how awesome she really was feeling.


we went over to my parents' house to pick M and S up... reese obviously missed her.

some randoms from the week :)

i asked sawyer to put on PJs and this is what she found. yes, she is sleeping in it. 

and then, in normal skelte fashion, tonight we had a dance party :)

so as it goes -- life goes on. there will, of course, continue to be ups and downs. but for today, we had fun. we messed up a clean house, we blasted music and watch reese shimmy those shoulders, the kids made me nuts (lol. hey, thats a constant normal sometimes), and we loved. we had fun. 

next week we have more vincristine. this weekend, we stay home or mask reese if we have to leave bc this is a "low" wkend for her blood count. but im sure we'll figure out something to do ;)
