At least once a week for the past six weeks we've taken an "outing" to the NTU Hospital for blood tests and talks with the blood doctor to try to get the dosage right for this medication I'm now taking (I'm not sure if I've given the story or not - it's not that serious - maybe that will be another entry). I am getting a bit tired of going this direction every week, but indeed I am thankful that these trips aren't for something serious. Maybe God's trying to give me empathy towards those who spend a lot of time there - I'll be on the look out for others who we can help. And since it's not for anything really serious, I do try to make the "outing" as fun as I can for the kids. So this past Friday, I packed up a picnic and we headed over to the 2/28 Peace Park for lunch and a bit of a play after the blood draw. It was a gorgeous day...
I put the blanket over the top of the stroller between the two seats to help block out a bit more sun and it always reminds me of a royal carriage on one of those old Disney cartoons. So this day Princess Helena sat in back because I wanted her to sleep on the ride but she was not about to miss out on any of this beautiful day!
We haven't even left our complex yet and I was snapping photos of the kids. I've been meaning to get a few shots of our place - it really is so lovely!
So the kids just stay seated and they both like to watch mama get the needle... it's a good thing they're there - it gives me a good excuse not to look at the needle!
Here's the little center... looks like I must've gone for a swim in the morning - I still have deep lines around my eyes from the goggles (or do I always look like this?).
Here's the little man enjoying the big swings!!! He LOVED it!
And my little sweetie just a few feet away drawing a crowd so Hunter could monopolize the swings... that's pretty good teamwork!
