Broken Leg

Yes, Broken leg!! I got a call from the school nurse on Friday morning. She said that Jaden had fallen off the monkey bars and maybe sprained his ankle. So, I wasn't super worried. I could hear Jaden crying in the back round, but didn't really think anything of it. When I got to the school the nurse said it took her a while to get him settled down, so I thought, ok maybe it is just a sprain. When I picked him up from the little exam table, he started freakin out and crying really bad. I thought then that something was wrong. I took him back to the office and had one of the Nurse Practitioners take a look at him. He wasn't too sure if it was a break or not, so we went over to Desert Radiology. We got back to the x-ray room he was not excited, because he knew that they were going to straighten him out for the x-ray. I felt so bad for him, it's hard to see your child in pain and not be able to do anything for them! We waited while the tech went to process the films instead of just leaving. He came back in and said well it's broke and pretty good too! Crazy!! I didn't think it could happen to Jaden again! I really, honestly didn't think he would have another broken bone!! So we went back to the office and the doctor took a look at the films and kinda raised his eyebrows and smiled. He said we needed to get over to the Orthopedic office like right now!! Ha ha I though he was going to be put into a splint and go to someone on Monday. We ended up going back to the Pediatric Ortho that we went to when he broke his arms. When the doctor pulled us back, it took a second but, he remembered who we were! He said you don't get too many bilateral wrist fractures!! Is that bad!! Ha ha, our ped. ortho remembered who Jaden was!! Then when the guy came in to cast his arms, he was giving me that look like, you look familiar to me, I said yes we've been here before!! He said, different kid though right? Nope, same kid different limb!! They are great though!! We are so glad we found them!!! But, the doctor said, "next time, just come straight to the office", sad, that he knows there will be a next time! I guess that's what you get with 3 boys!! Ha Ha. Anyway, cast up to the thigh and a walker to get around!! He has been a good sport about it, though. He has been in quite a bit of pain but it's getting better.

Jaden should not have actually been on those particular monkey bars. He was on the bigger kid playground. So now, I hope, he has learned a lesson about following rules!

Keepin' Busy

I thought since Dr. Paul was out of town I would have a nice, relaxing week. I hasn't been super crazy, but I haven't had any "extra" time to just sit and do nothing. It has been nice being able to get all my unimportant things done! Seems like I never have time to get those kind of things done. I still have half the day tomorrow to get the rest of the things on my "to do" list done.

I got to go to Jaden's class today and read to them. It is Nevada Reading week and all the classes can have guest readers!! I almost didn't make it. I totally forgot I planned on going until 12:50 this afternoon. I was supposed to be in his class at 12:30, I felt so bad, I thought they had to go to PE at 1:30, so I was only going to be able to read for a few minutes!! It ended up that the kids had art today and that was in the morning!! I was SO relieved!! It all turned out great!! I swung by my Mom's really fast and picked up Yertle the Turtle! It was fun to read but, that freaking Dr.Seuss really makes it feel like you are illiterate when you read his books!! Yertle the Turtle had 2 other stories in the book so we ended up reading all three!! I think the kids liked it!! They seemed too! I really have learned to LOVE reading!!

We got a new kitchen table AND chairs!! For almost a year and a half I had my "super smoking" deal, my table I got for $70.00 at DI, without any chairs. We looked and looked!! You can't find any good deals on chairs!! They are all about $150.00 for a good, sturdy chair!! We got a counter height table set at Sam's Club that was only $687.00. Totally worth getting!! It came with 8 chairs. If we would have bought 8 chairs alone, it would have cost more than that!!

We also got a recliner for the family room!! It completes the room. We had an empty space for a long time and now it is filled. Justin has been wanting a recliner for some time. We found it at RC Willey over the weekend and Justin picked it up tonight.

How are we doing this all?? Yes, your right, tax return! So we now enjoy SITTING at the table as a family and Justin has his easy chair to relax in!! And we will put the rest away because it seems like we have to use it for those "Rainy days" more often than not!!
