Funny Thing About Hope's Glasses

A funny thing happened to Hope's glasses. Yesterday, afternoon I rushed Ava to the groomer leaving Chad and the kids with dinner cooking in the oven. So we could all go to Family Engineering Night at the girls' school that evening. Fifteen minutes later, Ava and I returned to a small crime scene. Let me set the stage for you. The house was eerily quite except for the sound of Chad fevorisly washing his hands.  On the kitchen counter next to him lay one half of Hope's glasses, on the bar lay a half used tube of epoxy and the other half of Hope's glasses. The kids were AWOL. 

There is a happy ending though. Hope and I went back to the optomoterst today. There's a warranty on her old pair so we ordered them in blue. She was even eligible for a new pair. Hope had an eye exam. Patching is paying off and her vision has slightly improved. She now has new scripts and was told to keep on patching. Hope spent what felt like an entirety picking out frames (Hannah and I stayed tight liped about our opinions so Hope could pick out what she wanted) before she finally settled on a pretty purple pair. Hope told me under no uncertain terms that she no longer wanted transition lens. Go figure! After almost a year of asking for blue glasses with transition lens. She very is a happy girl! We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of her fancy, new purple glasses and her free back up blue glasses. In the meantime, she'll just have to grin and bear her broken pink ones.
