For the food part of it, we had chicken and wild rice in the crock pot, which i actually lost the recipe for and had to kind of make it up, but it still was really good. And the best part of it, Ryan loved and kept asking for more carrots. We made sun tea yesterday, which I have not made in years either. I am not a huge tea drinker, but have already had two glasses of that."
We have really been having some wicked storms lately. High winds, blowing rain, and lots of lightening. I love thunderstorms. I will admit that I am a little (Matt would say a lot), scared of them. I won't let Matt leave when one is coming. But that have been some weird intense storms. I came home from work on Monday and Matt arrived about the same time I did, and he noticed that something was missing off the deck...our huge umbrella! He went and knocked on some doors to find out where it could have blown to, after a little investigating, we found it. It was two doors across the street, in their back yard. The thing is huge and heavy to carry. I don't know how this happened! This is no small cheap umbrella, it was like $600 from Seasonal Concepts. (don't worry we don't have that kind of money anymore, I would so spend $600 so much differently now!)
We were supposed to go ride the Metro Link to the City Garden on Tuesday morning with some friends. But those storms hit us pretty hard again. They decided not to go, but it was to late for us, we were already there waiting for them when we were told they weren't coming. But we couldn't leave, how do you tell a 3 year old boy who's life revolves around trains (and Toy Story 3), we aren't going to ride it anymore?!? So since it was just me and Ryan we decided to board it anyway, and ride about 4 stops down and turn around and come back. He was in train heaven. It was really cool just the two of us. So more or less we got up early, packed for all day, rushed to get Harrison dropped off, traveled 20 miles to the Metro Link, stood in the lightening storm, waited for the no-shows, boarded the train, and all for a 35 minute ride to where we began! But some how the unexpected was fun!
Yes, this is Kung Foo Panda! Yes his head is touching our ceiling! Only my husband would stuff this into his car and bring it inside, make us hide outside in the 100 degree weather while he 'tried' to set him up, and bring us back inside all to see the reaction of his son's face when he see's him! 
One really good piece of good news we received this week was the letter from the school district reenacting the pre-K program. We are just stoked about it! He did get into Headstart for this fall because he received a referrel from his speech counselor. Now with this, he can go where we wanted him to! So registration is this Wednesday, and if it is all true and what we think it is, we will call Headstart and get him out of there program. God has so been with us for this whole adventure! We were really excited about Headstart, but the school he will go to now, will be in the AM, and it's right down the street from us. So no bus ride, and no giving up on naps...just yet. So this is going to be so much better. Plus hopefully we can keep the same SLP we had last school year.
