So that happened...

The week started normal enough... Lucy playing with some fun kids meal toys...

Heidi getting Strep...

At least the Huskers won - right?

Lucy trying on her Halloween wig and makeup...

 Having fun at a Halloween party...

And then... we decided to go to the trampoline park again. Heidi could work on her jumps and tumbling and Lucy has fun jumping around.

About 10 minutes after this picture - tragedy... an employee of the trampoline park wasn't watching where he was going and stepped on Lucy's leg. It wasn't a jumping accident to my understanding - it was him not watching and didn't see little lu. It only took one step and both of her bones are broken in her lower leg. I scooped her up and off to the ER we went.

It was very rough on Sunday and Monday. She was just in a lot of pain and we couldn't seem to comfort her.

But then she was given the ok on Monday late afternoon to get a cast and then she perked up for sure. She chose purple of course and says it hurts less. She slept through the night (thank God) and so did Chris and I. We are relaxing today and seeing how she is doing. We are also going to talk to the school to see what the plan can be. She has to have this full leg cast for 4 weeks and then she will go down to a half leg cast or even a boot depending on how she is healing. She can't use crutches or use the restroom by herself. She might have to have tutors at home for a few weeks. We will see...

 She even felt better enough to dance through the Chick-fil-A drive thru!

Heidi has been a wonderful big sister. She was VERY upset after it happened and through the ER visit. She was so happy that Lucy seemed more like her self last night.

Lucy is coming around and had to have her toes painted to be as wonderful as her cast... I think its silver purple...

I hope she heals quickly and can get back to being Lucy soon!

Weekend Fun

The last week started off with some sick kids and husband. Just a quick fever and sensitive stomachs. I managed to avoid it - but some school was missed!

I think Lucy is only happy when she is running around in underwear - we're going to have to monitor this one!

Friday we both worked from home since the kids didn't have school. I always laugh when Chris and I share a table and try to have competing conference calls. Luckily he jumped on a plane mid afternoon for a fun trip to Chicago.

I was invited by coworkers to go to Cedar Point Friday night for their Halloweekends. It was a first time going and I have never seen so many roller coasters in my life. Literally - they were insane. I'm game for whatever - but Cedar Point hit my max for sure. On top of that - it was 40 degrees and rainy. I have never been so cold and at some points it hurt to open your eyes on the ride because of the rain pelting you. Oh and they had these "scare zones" you had to walk through with scare actors jumping out and scaring you or growling at you or setting off canons... I'm too old for that crap! We had a great time, but I'm good for awhile... bring me back to my fun Disney rides!

Since Chris is gone all weekend on a guys trip - the girls and I ran errands and ended up at the jump park. I wore them out for sure!

Funny story - we noticed it was really cold in our house and the temp was cold outside too... turns out the thermostat was never turned to heat. It was 59 degrees at one point. Luckily - it was be controlled thru an app and Chris got it adjusted right away... looks like I will be learning how to control our new thermostat after he gets back! We all snuggled for warmth.

It was the last football cheer game and it was a beautiful fall day. The girls did great but I will be happy for basketball season - indoors! Now its just continuing to practice for the fall competition!

Since it is Fall break for the kids - I gained an extra Lucy last night :)

And...we are getting close!!!!! Magicbands should be arriving in a couple of weeks!!!

Grand-friends Day and more CHEER!

Yet another busy week for us.  Heidi went away for three days for the class trip and had a blast! She loved it so much. She got to do what she wanted to do and loved doing all the classes etc. The school did post this picture of her with archery - love it! Maybe a new hobby for her???

This week at school was Grand-friends day. This is where it is very hard to live away from all our family. I know all of them would have loved to participate at school and it is hard for Heidi and Lucy when they don't have someone come. Now, we have also made amazing friends here in Cleveland and the Belciks offered to step in and be surrogate Grand-friends so Lucy could participate in the school activities. Lucy was thrilled. Tom and Kathy are the nicest people and we couldn't have been more honored for them to support us like that. We can't thank them enough for it!

Our new furniture has arrived...well most of it... We are still missing our bench for our table and the cover. I love it! Heidi also got her new dresser (its unwrapped in the picture). Chris and I joked that with the new table, it makes us want to get our floors done - like now!

Lucy also had her cheer camp at the high school! She just cracks me up! She has her own style and it just entertaining to watch.

On Saturday - we had a very rainy day for our squad. They were troopers and I think had some fun in the rain!

And then there is this.... and yes - its glitter.

And a funny from Lucy... all day Sunday, Lucy was just walking around in a tank top and no pants. When asked she goes:

"Don't worry mom, it's no pants Sunday"

Sounds good Lucy.
