Celebrated Ia's half birthday today by taking her out to Leatherby's for a sundae. We started celebrating her half birthday when she was 2 1/2 and we were in Chicago but knew we would be moving before her 3rd birthday, and we went out with her best friend gracie for cupcakes, after Ia and I went out for a manicure, Ia in her plastic dress up "flip flop: (her name for high heel shoes)...hard to believe that was four years ago, when she ate all the frosting of the cupcake at Julius Meinel's but smashed the cupcake on the table and under the table...
Today Dave took Larry and and Audrey to the Railroad Museum so Ia and I could have some time together, and I am thrilled that had a successful, fun outing. They went to the museum, on the excursion train ride ("We rode on the BiG train," Larry said, eyes sparkling, for the first of 3 fun things today.) Audrey waved excitedly on the train, even when there was no one to wave to. They also wen tout to ice cream. I'm just so glad they had a good time together.
Ia and I went to McDonald's for lunch (dollar menu!), over to Leatherby's, and then to Barnes and Noel to finally use Ia's gift certificate from having her book win 3rd place in the KVIE Kids/PBS Go! Writers' Contest, and then grocery shopping, so we go that done for the weekend. Ia chose a moving model of a T Rex and a Merida book.
After reconnecting with Audrey, went swimming and completed mile 85.
Tired.
Really hoping church goes well tomorrow. Probably should get sleep now.
