It's been a hard week, but we made it through it. When difficult times come our way we have to figure out, how we want to continue on with life. I choose to make the best out of each situation that comes my way. Stay positve. Make the best out of what I have control of in my life. Be the mom I want my kids to remember. Try to be a great wife.
While trying to recover physically, mentally and emotionally this week. I tried to just take it easy and rest so I could get over feeling tired and weak (from loosing so much blood). Which isn't really possible when you have a 2 and 4 year old that are very active and like to stay busy, which we are use to doing. We took it easy week, watched lots of movie, while cuddling on the couch, built lego castle and towers, made crafts and we made sure that Lincoln made it to his friends two birthday parties. I made sure I was in bed each night by 9pm the latest so my body had time to recover. Lincoln and Lacey have really helped me this week by being helpful but also always making me smile and reminding me about how truly blessed I am. It's been hard not seeing Josh a lot this week as he's been trying to play catch up on his classes he missed. But I know if he could give us more of his time he would. Each day this week I slowly felt less tired, stronger and more at peace.
We sent the days watching movies and making crafts so I'd feel up to going out to the parties later in the day. Here's some of the crafts that we made.
Abigail is a friend from our preschool group and it was her 4th birthday this week. Abigail's Birthday party was a two night party. Wednesday we had fun at Twist N' Shake at the blue mall. Kids had a blast with all their friends and it was perfect as they were able to go play at the play centre while I was able to sit and watch them have fun... Then on Friday night they had a movie party at AUC, the other med university on the island. They set the movie 'Frozen' up in one of the lecture rooms on the big screen. They had treats from popcorn, juice, snow flake cookies to marshmallows, pretzels and M&M for Olaf's treats. Lincoln and Lacey really enjoyed their fun movie night with their friends. I'm so glad they have been blessed with amazing island friends while we have been here. When we got in the car after the movie night, Lincoln said " mom that was fun, can we do that again."
Thursday afternoon Halle had her 5th birthday party. She had a swimming party. Lincoln pretty much stayed in the pool for the whole 2 hours of the party, minus the pinyata part. I love seeing my kids have fun with their friends they have made here.

Here's a few other thing that kept the kids busy this week.
Lincoln loves being outside. The first thing Lincoln wants to do when he wakes up in the morning is go out side. Which is perfect as we can be out side at all times of the day with this Caribbean weather. He loves making pretend fires like we have at the beach.

Lacey loves helping mom with the dishes. It's like a water table of fun.
Glad I have these two to keep me busy.
