We are Making it and Having Fun to Boot

Spencer has had this week off school and he has been going to places in public more with us and doing so well. A few out of daily routine is a big upset for Spencer so we have to keep busy. We went swimming at a friend in the ward's house. Other people came, but Spencer hung out quietly enjoying comfortable sets and hanging out under the waterfall that fell under the pool. Joseph (and I) were happy he had other kids to swim with that were his age who would fight back during a long lasting water fight. We went into Grocery outlet, my new favorite store and bought groceries, again Spencer was able to be there quietly and wait to make it through the checkout line. We also visited two parks this week one right after the other and Spencer let us know whose car he wanted to go in, when and if he wanted to get out and seem to regulate well what he was most comfortable with. Yesterday, we swam in the Solano's pool(They have the Most beautiful yard). Spencer did well again! I'm pleased and still kind of surprised.:) Emmy and I had a chance to go on a bike ride last night which was lovely. The moon was full, the sun was setting and it was nice and cool out. Emmy hadn't rode a bike in a few years so it seemed fun for both of us to be out and about. I loved date night this week too. We ate Thai and found a good replacement for the Thai coconut soup I love,but  the Star of Siam where we usually get it went out of business. It was delicious and we walked for a while after which I love spending time with Bri, walking and talking. Emmy had her first job interview ever and I'm pretty proud of her that she dressed up and has a resume and went and had that experience.

Spence didn't sleep one night this week and it through my schedule off so I haven't been sleeping this week. I'm glad we are getting some fun and relaxing activities in, because it helps with being sleep deprived. I think tuckering the kids out for a better nights sleep has worked for the most part. I got some rest last night and feel measurably better. We have the weekend to go and Monday. We are making it!
