On Monday the girls had great music practices and then I cleaned the inside of the car while Lydia babysat Clarissa on the front lawn.
After that I put Clarissa to bed and worked on laundry and post-trip clean-up while the girls played outside and Ammon watched TV.
When Clarissa woke up, we went to the eye doctor to get her eyes checked out. She will need a stent like Lydia did, and the doctor also thinks she might be cross eyed like Mary. Poor Clarissa! The doctor did a full eye exam on her because she was higher risk as a sibling of someone with glasses, so we were there for a long time. Praise be, Ammon slept through the whole thing in his stroller. I would have been out of my mind had he been awake.
Then we drove through Chick Fil A for dinner and I got Lydia a Dairy Queen to pass the time since all of the kids were asleep except for her. After we got home, we fed all of the kids, read to them, and put them to bed.
Abe and I then took a walk to Menchie’s. On the way we ran into so many people: Steve Young, Jon Bishop, and, when we got to Menchie’s, we ran into Mary’s piano teacher and his family. After our ice cream, we walked home and looked at the clock. It was 10:30pm! Time flies with Abe.
