A few weeks ago, we started noticing Harper's eyes crossing regularly. We had to wait to get in with an eye doctor who specializes in little people, but we finally had our appointment on Monday. This is when we discovered that Harper is incredibly farsighted, and definitely needed glasses. Her eyes were working so hard to focus, it would cause her eyes to cross. We picked up her glasses on Good Friday. She was less than amused with them, and probably only kept them on her head for a total of 8 minutes all afternoon. Jim talked to her and put them on her and she kept them on all morning on Saturday morning. She probably kept them on for 4-5 hours, so this was progress. She then took them off, threw them in the trash and clapped her hands! So we let her slide on it for the afternoon (after many attempts to put them back on her head). Small steps! I did notice that her eyes do not seem to cross when she is wearing the glasses - I was watching closely to see! I am thankful to God that she had a problem that was so easily fixed....not everyone gets so lucky!
Mallory and Madison had a garage sale, concession stand and some drawing sales today during Overbrook's city wide garage sale. They had a great day and raised a lot of money! I am pretty sure it was due to Barack Obama, Homer Simpson, and an Army man waving in all the traffic off the street!
All the kids worked pretty well together, and it was a great day! They ended up raising more money today than they did at their last 2 fundraisers combined! Although, I do believe a year ago I said I would NEVER again do a garage sale! Kids make us into liars! In all honesty, I did some shopping for concession stand supplies, and I made a pot of gravy, but the kids did all the rest of the work, including the clean up!
Mallory and Madison's high school concert band was invited to play at a concert with Washburn University's band tonight. It was a huge honor, and they got to play in White Concert Hall, which was pretty cool! Their band had a piece of music commissioned just for them, and they got to play it. It was awesome!
And after all that, we ended up coloring Easter eggs at 10:00 at night because Easter kind of snuck up on me this year! The kids had a good time!
You can tell Quincy is tired though! She, Preston and Harper went to a wedding dance with my sister instead of the band concert. They had a great time dancing the night away!
