Then, on Saturday, we celebrated my daughter's 8th birthday - which is actually today ;) - at a local bowling alley. We had a lot of fun and even had some extended family from China here!! (My husbands uncle is an English teacher in China and he brought his chinese wife and step-daughter to the US).
THEN today we picked berries earlier in the morning and came home to make homemade blackberry pie. We went out to dinner with some family for Zoey's birthday since today is her actual day of birth, and when we came home the girls went with Grandma to swim while my husband cleaned my moms pool (different Grandma lol).
Unfortunately as we were leaving he got stung really hard in the face by a wasp :( He immediately iced it but it still got extremely swollen. He's showered and taken some Benadryl + 2 ibuprofen and is now applying vinegar to the sting area. I feel so bad for him! I know it has to hurt :(
Anyway how was your weekend? Did you enjoy family time?
That pie looks fantastic! All your photos are just lovely. Wasp stings are the worst!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes they are! He is still swollen and in pain. Called off work today
DeleteHappy birthday to your daughter! It's always fun when you can extend your birthday to a several day event :) Those pies and berries look to die for! If only the internet had a smell the pie button. We had family in from out of town this weekend as well. On a random whim, we decided to travel about 30 minutes away and do a historic tour of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. It was hot and humid as all get out, but such great architecture and interesting history surrounding it. Needless to say, not much sewing going on here either.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! That sounds like an interesting weekend! It was super hot and humid here too :( Its hard to really enjoy summer when the weather is miserable.
