Lila's Urgent Care visit

Before the "incident"





{playing with brother and sister}.....


Ring a round the Rosie, a pocketful of Posies
Ashes, Ashes...Lila falls.. DOWN!....and splits her lip in 3 places (on the inside) and also has a hole on the outside--looks like it went all the way through...it's seeping blood and won't stop. So what do we do? We call Daddy at work and tell him to come home so Mommy can take Lila to Urgent Care--looks like she'll need stitches.
Poor Daddy--it's his Book Club night--drives home.
Lila and I get in the car and drive to Urgent Care.


Lila gave me such a funny look when I told her to stand against the wall...

Check-in time...

First table...for temp, blood pressure, exam...

Temp is good!

Tranferred to a new bed and room...this is the big time...

Afterward, we stopped by JJ--of course, what else would she have for dinner???


And after all was said and done, it really wasn't so bad. She colored while we waited, she laughed, she charmed people, and she never had to get stitches! The hole was not gaping, and that was to our benefit. And Lila scored Jamba Juice too!
Thank goodness it only took just under an hour and that's makes Daddy happy, because his litte girl is ok and he gets to go to Book Club afterall.


Getting hurt and rushing to the Urgent Care wasn't so bad afterall...will that be a negative down the road when I yell "Lila, please be careful, we don't need a trip to Urgent Care! (or E.R.)....

Funny things...? Maybe...

So I made another friendship bread last week and Joshua thought Daisy had some when she wasn't supposed to...he said

"Mommy, can I have some cake?"
I said, "Not right now"
He sad "Well, Daisy had some, can't I?"
I said "No, she didn't..."'
He said "Yes, she did"
I asked how he knew that and he said
"I smelled the breath of it" (the cake that is) hehehe


Savannah has been sooo independent lately--she stands up ALL the time. In the middle of the night when she wakes up, at playtime, shower time (mine), anywhere-anytime...I was taking a shower the other night and she was standing up against the shower door watching me and then got the idea to tranfer herself to the laundry basket next to the shower door..she had to do it one hand at a time, though and couldn't do it. She kept sliiiding down the shower door-it was sooo funny, but then she would cry, stand up and try again. It didn't occur to her to just crawl over to the laundry basket, she wanted to "walk" there. So she would stand up again and I would see her hands sliding down again--SO FUNNY--and she would have this look of horror on her face as she was sliding ...poor girl. She stood up again and then I realized, WOW, she has DETERMINATION!!! I do like that part.

In this picture, Lila was showering last night and Savvy really, really wanted to get in--she kept putting her leg up, I think she thought that was how to get in.






Couple nights ago I went in around 3:30 A.M. to get Savannah, who was waking up, and I found Lila in her dolls' pack 'n play--next to her bed. She puts them to bed right next to hers. It's not big at all..she was scrunched up in it, like she was cold. I mean 3:30 in the morning!!! She had no idea what she was doing in there and I almost got the camera, but..didn't.
Lila had picture day at school this week and she wore this outfit... her hair was nicer than this...


Didn't really have anything to write 'bout my Daisy girl this week--love her and thought I would post a few pics of when she was a wee one....so strange, it seems so long ago.

Has it been long enough?

It's so hard to keep up some days ...

So Lila asks me today 'Where do we live in alcohol?'...WHAT??? She was looking at a globe and thought it was called alcohol and I had to tell her it was the United States. No, we hardly drink.. She's been asking me how to spell certain words too...trying to keep up with brother and sister, I suppose. Surprised me, though, when she asked me how to spell "die", then "dishwasher"...is there a correlation I don't know, maybe? I wonder what's going on in that head of hers.



Daisy Lou..a.k.a.Hannah Montana this Halloween..we don't let her watch the show or listen to the music , but she still knows she exists, so why not. She is just too "old" for Daisy. Daisy is determined to be the reader of the week at school this 'week', so she has read, since Sat., almost 600 minutes--crazy, huh? It has helped that we are reading the Chronicles of Narnia together! We just started the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe yesterday. We are also reading The American Girls series for her bookclub.





My lil' pirate man...he is so sweet! He has changed sooo much since Winter/Spring of this year...Thank you God!! He is thriving. We went out last night, just us two, to Round Table-his fav. pizza place. It was family night, so they had face painting and games like Sorry, Connect Four and Guess Who? Then we went to Starbucks and played Tic Tac Toe (who made up that name?) Tomorrow night is Lila's night--Daisy had last Friday...then we're done for awhile until the next round of dates.





Savvy the Wav Wav, Savvy, Rae Rae...my little girl...she was a kitty cat for Hall-O-Harvest...how do you like that holiday name?
She still wakes me every 2 hours or so...it's tough. I've decided it's all my fault. I don't think it's an accident that all 4 of my kids have taken such advantage of me-I LET THEM!! Or maybe they don't get enough calories? Whatever it is, it seems out of my hands.
She has pulled herself to a standing position 4 times now! She is too smart! She LOVES to explore on the floor. She is super tall--97% for her height! She will be 8 months old on Friday! Whoa!!

PS-Kevin and I saw the movie Fireproof--it is AWESOME!! It's nice when you can support Christian films and efforts.
