Happy Friday!

This is how it goes for today Friday: Ty sleeps till 6:30am. Oldest gets herself off to school, check. Hubby gets littlest off to school, check. Ty just chilling watching Nat Geo Wild. My coffee brewing. Ty falls asleep at 8:30am. I enjoy my coffee quietly in the calmness of an empty house and one child napping. He was a very restless napper- for almost 1 1/2 hours he tossed and turned on the dog bed, sliding here, moaning, grumbling- struggling to get into a sleep pattern.

Hubby comes home because he's off to Sacramento for all day testing at UCD: among all of our craziness, my wonderful husband is donating his kidney to his oldest sister. Amazing huh! He's a perfect match. So he's off for all day transplant education and testing.

Ty wakes up. We bake cake balls. We made apple cinnamon rings (yes deep fried- oh my!). This took all morning- it was wonderful. We started to watch the movie Babe. But he quickly wanted to go outside to build. So we did.

We put his fort over by the tree house and it quickly turned into a Halloween backdrop for a cemetery. He got his wheels spinning more and got out the red paint and straws? What was he up to? He was making a skeleton out of the straws on the grass, then painting areas red for blood. I guess this year the gory Halloween is coming out for the first time.

Usually we stayed away from those houses because they were too scary to both Ty and Sarah. All it took was a pumpkin carved in a scary picture- that was a skip house as we called it. But I went with his ideas-

Hung up a ghost from the tree. Came in, he had some behaviors. Why? Not sure exactly probably just transition and his anticipation of Sarah coming home any minutes. It quickly ended. Megan came home. He fell asleep again.

Very kind sister in law stops by and brings us dinner- she knew Brian was going to be late due to all the testing. So kind and so incredibly helpful. Brian comes home- he looks tired. We try to have a few minutes to talk. I wish I was able to be there for him. Just to support him if anything. But I had to stay home with Ty. But sounds like things went well. It's all very exciting and scary at the same time. More on that later.

Ty wakes up and is excited to see daddy. Wants to watch Babe with him. Then an old co worker of Brian's stops by to bring us Gluten Free pastry's and a GF cake. He knew Brian was going through all these tests today. That was again, so incredibly thoughtful. Wow- and beautiful baked goods.

A lot happening today. A lot going on emotionally. A lot going on. And it's only dinner time. But it's Friday- that's good and bad. As it's a change in routine for the weekend. But it's also the weekend.:) Divide and conquer. What will we do? Happy weekend!
