1st Teacher Work Day of the Year = ER Visit

On September 29, we had the first teacher work day of the year.

Ordinarily I welcome them with open arms.

Who doesn't like sleeping in?

But at last, not all teacher workdays are

good days.

Especially the ones where you have to visit the

ER before lunch.

Check out Ruby's gash.

Little Larry chased her through the kitchen where she slipped

and made contact with one of our dutch ovens.

OUCH!

It was terrible.

I can handle seizures and surgeries, but gushing blood

and wiggly teeth are not my thing.

Once I got past the tears, mine that is,

I realized it wasn't as bad as I had initially thought.

Ruby was such a brave trooper. She had 3 little

stitches put in.

This is just a random picture of my

little monkey. She had a mouth full of grapes.

We like to scare daddy and email him such pictures

with a caption that reads might need to go

to the doctors. Unexplained swelling.

He took us seriously once and panicked.

Getting the stitches removed.

She had so much fun letting nurse Tina remove them.

Luckily, her wound is near the hair line. Not to mention it was

perfectly straight.

Since this accident, we have had another

teacher workday and I am proud to

say there were no ER or Dr. visits.

Wow. So sorry about the accident. I freak out when those things happen. I'm glad she's okay.

Love,

PS Loved the detail about the jokes you play on my brother with the cell phone pics! FUNNY.

Apple Festival

OK, I was too excited to wait on this new post. We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon. We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going. It was fun. People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples. Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music. We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream. While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine. Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner. Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt. He had the number 7 and at the top it said Baby Maker. This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids. A Valentine's gift from a dear husband. I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores. Just trying to tackle one room at a time. The first room I cleaned was the children's living room. Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over the footboard on my bed. Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house. I was making dinner for the missionaries. No my dinner was not scary! I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards. I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce. Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do. Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me. To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying. Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up. He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth. He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early. I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears. But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby. Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her. Her lower lip had completely swollen up. This was our first experience with a...
