it's been like summer around here this week, and it could not have been a more beautiful day to celebrate my wonderful husband's birthday. the day was busy but went very smoothly. we've had gavin on the b.r.a.t. diet, and he hasn't had any more vomiting since the one incident on monday night. what a relief! gavin's biggest complaint is that we won't let him drink any milk. he doesn't like that at all :( brooke's been wanting to have her own lemonade stand all week long, and today i finally had to step up and just let her do it. naturally, brooke was ready to do it about an hour before kevin was due home, but i decided i was just going to have to make it work. i had already made the lemonade earlier in the day, so we quickly grabbed some plastic cups and a bag of ice along with brooke's handmade sign for "fresh-squeezed lemonade - free!" just as we were walking out the door, and i was trying to figure out how to get our "stand" down the street into the center of the neighborhood, my eyes landed on our wagon that we haven't used in ages. bingo! we piled everything in the wagon (including gavin), and brooke pulled it along to her final destination. thankfully lots of neighborhood kids were out, and brooke gave away all the lemonade within 20 minutes or so. what a success! brooke even collected a few donations for her school fundraiser, which made her feel very proud. we made it back home just in time for kevin's arrival and a quick phone call to urgent care to check on my x-ray results. turns out i have a fractured toe. unbelievable. i have no idea how i fractured my toe. with that bit of news, we moved the party outside and enjoyed the perfect weather and a nice birthday dinner. after dinner we sang "happy birthday" and treated kevin to his favorite dessert - strawberry shortcake. it was quite an eventful day!
