Took Calvin to his ENT to check out the latest ear infection. Good news is it's healing nicely and his ear looked better than the last time he had seen it at the beginning of April. So no need to reinsert the tube...for now.
Calvin was excited to see BusyTown at the doctors office.
Tonight we helped the village. Nick picked up friends from school and they ate dinner with us when their mom was running a little late. They had McDonalds as we aren't perfect enough to have a home made meal big enough for two extra kids...or a home made meal. But all seemed pretty happy.
*fourth tooth to fall out naturally, as one was surgically removed. But the 5th time the tooth fairy has visited.
Her upper left front tooth fell out at school. The tooth fairy had anticipated it would fall out soon, but not for another day so the Amazon Prime order hadn't made it yet. Hence a 10pm trip to Target.
On Saturday we took the train to Old Town for an adventure and a visit to a hipster arts and crafts fair. At the fair there was a woman selling fancy hula hoops and also had some Out for people to try.
Enter Ellie the hula hooping queen.
She started on a mini size which was too small. But she still did well. Then the owner/craftsman came over and gave her a correct kid size. Which she did great at. Then she grabbed an adult size and nailed that. The craftsman then had these GIANT hoops, like 5-6 feet in diameter and said Ellie should try it since she did so well with the other sizes. She wowed everyone, her parents, her brother, the craftsman, random strangers, random teens who tried but were unsuccessful...everyone.
Ellie wanted to show us the places and hike that she went on with her class. So we headed to Eaton Canyon on Sunday. We were prepared for water play and let the kids splash around for a while in the freezing cold snow runoff. We also saw some nature including fuzzy caterpillars and large lizards.
