A day at the park

Today was a ho-hum kinda summer day! It was a good day to take the kids to the park to burn off a little excess energy!

The streets will be safe - well......

The street in front of Little J's school... at least from 2:45pm to 3:00pm for the next week!! haha!
Little J has done Safety Patrol this year... he has enjoyed it and took pride in actually having some responsibility at the school. It was good for him - hopefully, he will want to do it again next year!

Poor little Miss O

Today, Miss O had her very first Emergency Room visit.... After we got home from fishing, the kiddos were all outside running around, enjoying the day.. until BAM!!!! Someone started a horrible blood curdling screaming!! Apparently, Miss was was coming outside and closed the door on her finger, which got caught between the doorjam and the strike plate... ouch!! Blood was shooting out and it was pretty obvious to us that it was more than a band-aid kinda repair!!

We left immediately for the ER, fortunately got into a room right away!! Three hours later.... we were able to take her home with a re-attached ring finger and 8 new wire stitches!! The poor little thing had the hardest time while the stitches were being sewn... she kept screaming at the doctor, "Are you done now??"
We were able to take our little stinker home with a big ER bill, and a nice new bandaid!!

Just the three of us

Today was sorta a hum ho kinda morning! Little J really wanted to go to yet another Fishing Derby... after the last one - I was not up to the challenge!! I told him that I would take him to another pond..... As we were getting to leave... Little Miss "ME-TOO" made her displeasure known that she, too wanted to go fishing... I decided to take her if I could take a chair.... so off we went!


We must have picked the slimiest section of the pond, since we were losing worm after worm and catching nothing!


We saw a pair of adorable little orphaned mallard ducklings.. they had no fear, but we left them alone! We also saw a muskrat, a huge bass swim by and a few ospreys!


Miss O thought she would help supervise Little J and his worm-ing skills!


I knew this would happen! Lost my chair to the princess! She gave up on fishing pretty dang quick!!

We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day!!

My last post on Preschool :(

We had our very last day of Miss O's OT/ST preschool today. She has been attending this preschool since before her 3rd birthday. She has really grown to love and enjoy her teachers and other kiddos in her class. Her final day of preschool was held at a local park, where we all celebrated the kiddos moving into kindergarten. It was really a bittersweet day... wonderful to see the awesome strides that Miss O has made (especially in speech!) but sad to know that we are forever done with preschool. Time to move on to Kindergarten!!



Miss O with her little friend, Ayla!

Miss O with her absolutely favorite teacher, Cathy! She will REALLY miss seeing Cathy!

Wordless Wednesday

A usual occurance at our house!! Little J has these nasty disgusting nose bleeds quite often!

Some Dirty Fun!

The hubby took the boys for a short motorcycle ride up near the Wind Farm... after a rainy morning... it left all the boys a tad muddy!!! They did have a blast though!
