Craft time

Even though we have an entire room for school/crafts they have turned my dining room into a Valentine making factory! Many beautiful Valentine cards are being prepared!

Beauty and the Beast 3D

We took all the kiddos today to our theatre in town that serves food. We had such a good time eating lunch and watching the movie! However, the boys did not view it in 3D as they both refused to wear their glasses! :)

Again....

Well, we didn't make it two full weeks before we had another big injury. This time a fractured elbow... Otherwise known as a "broken arm".

Last night at about 7:00 Rivers was sitting in a chair in our living room (over carpet) and he fell out of the chair catching his fall with his right arm. It looked totally harmless (I saw him fall) BUT he immediately started screaming that "this is for real" scream. Jimmy ran over and picked him up and we started looking him over for injury. As jimmy started feeling of his right arm he got even more hysterical and we realized his little wrist was swollen and bruising. So we spent the rest of the evening icing it and giving him Tylenol for the pain. When he still seemed to be in quite a bit of pain even with the Tylenol I knew something worse than just a bruise was going on.

So this morning I took him to his regular doctor they referred us to a pediatric orthopedic doctor who confirmed with an x-ray that he did indeed have a small break in the elbow. NO!

Now my baby boy will be in this awful cast for FOUR weeks. It makes me so sad to think of him having to deal with this massive thing while he plays and sleeps and eats for four whole weeks. I am praying it goes by fast and that it doesn't bother him much!

He is such a sweet little guy.... But boy is he gonna give us a run for our money.

Our little business man

It has become routine that if Ben wakes up before Jimmy leaves for work he insists on putting on his dress shirt, navy blazer and tie..... And he wears them all day until Jimmy gets home and he and Ben put on their comfortable clothes! It is precious!

Today he ditched the tie after lunch but still rocked the blazer and dress shirt the entire day!
