I am ridiculously excited for the long weekend. Probably because it is first long weekend since my leave ended. Also probably because we have some fun stuff planned. Like our old friend Lori, from Hawaii is flying into town. And we all have a wedding in a park to go to.

Yesterday, Evan had his surgery. It was relatively uneventful. I forgot the camera and so won't have pictures of him in his gear. He was surprisingly happy...even though he didn't get to eat before we left the house. He got a little bit upset when they asked him to change from his SpongeBob pjs into the rocket ship hospital gown. But we talked him into it. I distracted him by using one of the socks they gave him as a puppet. The anesthesiologist was awesome and she let us come back to the OR with her. James held the mask in front of Evan's face, while I helped him hold this "Magic Wand." He got to tap this magic trick coloring book that was first blank pages and then once he tapped it, the pages were colored. James and I were almost as excited as Evan was. LOL. Evan was breathing in the gas and chuckling at his magical abilities. Then we laid him down and his body entered what the doctor called the "excitement" phase of going under. She said he was already asleep, but his body was still reacting. He was jerking and mumbling stuff. And then he was snoring. 10 minutes in the waiting room and the ENT came out to say that all was well. 10 minutes later we were in recovery with him. He was already asking us "Where's my chocolate milk?"

He was fine most of the day. Just a bit cranky. Really doesn't like the ear drops we have to give him.

We went out to Buca di Peppo for dinner with David and Linda. We sang Happy Birthday to David because his birthday is tomorrow (Evan led the way with the singing). Right as we finished singing, Evan pointed at David and yelled, "His penis is bleeding!" There was a few minutes of shock before we realized that he was referring to a statue behind David (oddly enough it was a statue of The David) that was painted gold and was reflecting some of the red fabric around us. LOL.

Work is keeping me way too busy. I can only do what I can do. :)
