Angel babies

Wednesday morning I ran Makenzie up to her school to take her graduation pictures that she missed the day before!  Her teachers were so excited to see her! I seriously LOVE her teachers and we have had the best experience this year!

I can't believe she will be in kindergarten next year!!  We went to Target on the way home to get some essentials.  Kenzie brought "Bubba" and we got stopped so many times by people thinking he was a real baby!!  A lady ran over to catch him one time when Kenzie had him dangling over the side of the buggy!! 

I came home and ran on the treadmill and did an arm workout!  The girls took this time to try on clothes out of their winter stuff I had pulled out and then got themselves stuck in!  My phone fell and Kenzie snapped lots of pictures of me running!

And Madi tried jumping on behind me twice and busted her butt flying off the back!!  Korie and Dallas came over to play for a bit!  I went to the gym this morning and got my butt kicked,literally, in my butts and guts class!  I did the sauna afterwards and got so busy talking I ended up staying in there an hour!  I had my yearly OB checkup this afternoon and he was so impressed with my weight loss!  It was a good visit!  The girls and I took a get well soon basket to our friend Amber's little boy Reid!  He got tubes in his ears and we were so excited to visit with him for awhile!  I am now suffering with swollen, red, itchy eyes from their kitty cat!  They will have to come to our house next time!! 

Arm update

Sunday night was rough for Kenzie!  She kept waking up moaning and crying!  I went to the gym and then came home to check on the Kenzie!  We stayed home the rest of the day and played!  Madi decided her leg was hurt and she needed an ace bandage too!  

Kenzie kept getting frustrated because I wouldn't let her do anything!  She would play like normal but would flinch if she used her arm wrong!  I tried to keep her calm and watching movies instead of running all over the place!

She was not amused with my make shift ice pack!  I talked to the nurse at her doctors office and explained what happened and how she still wasn't using her arm.  They wanted to see her first thing the next morning!  Tuesday morning we got up and headed to her appointment!  The doctor felt around her arm and moved it and she always had the same pain with the same movement! She would say her wrist hurt but the area of movement or touch was up by the elbow!  She sent us for more X-rays at the hospital!

I took the girls for lunch and ice cream while we waited for the results!

We got home and the doctor called to say her X-rays were all normal!  She explained besides it being just a "sore" arm, the only other thing it could be is a dislocated elbow, or nursemaid elbow.  She told me I could try to reduce it myself and to watch a you tube video!  I told her no way and made an appointment for the next day!  I did watch some videos and I had seen them reset elbows lots of times when I worked at the pediatrician office! Later while Kenzie was playing and was distracted I rotated her arm slowly and then flexed it and like magic she could move her arm!  I couldn't believe it!  She says I'm magic now!!  You wouldn't even know her arm was hurt now!  Praise the lord!!

Weekend wrap up

Saturday morning Kenzie had an 8:00 game first thing in the morning!  We had to be there at 7:30 and it was about 20 minutes from out house!  It was a very early morning for us.  She played awesome!  

The grass/field was damp and muddy and she insisted that she couldn't play because she would get dirty and have to to take a bath.  Her coaches that was funny and gave her a hard time!  They kept picking up grass and dirt and rubbing it on her back.  Madi stood in front of the bleachers and whined loudly "booty hurt, booty hurt bad" while she grabbed at her booty!  Everyone giggled and I had to explain she says that when she gets a wedgie!  She is so little that I can't find any panties to fit her and she gets wedgies from them being too big!  It's worse when she does it in the middle of the grocery store and starts crying and screaming it loud because she is trapped in a buggy!  

Scotty went to work and the girls and I went to get lunch and had a picnic at the park!  

We played for a bit until something set Madi off and we had to leave due to another hissy fit!  Kenzie and I played in the backyard while she napped.  That night I had a sitter come over and stay with the girls while I went and had dinner and drinks with the girls for our monthly birthday celebration!  

We had a great time!  Towards the end of the night I got a headache and wasn't really feeling well so I went home and crashed!  Sunday morning Scotty let me sleep in which was just what I needed!  We got ready and went to our friend Aubrey's birthday party!! 

We made it about 20 minutes and then Kenzie had a little accident!  She was sliding down and stopped herself with her arms and feet out.  A little girl slid down and they crumpled together at the the bottom!  Kenzie came up screaming crying with her arm limp at her side!  It was very obvious that she wasn't faking and it swelled up pretty fast!  We decided to leave and have it looked at.  I may or may not done the silent ugly cry above her head as I carried her out to the car!  My mom and dad met us at the house to watch Madi, who by this time had picked up on the stress and was freaking out herself!  It was the longest car ride ever to the hospital!  She would scream and cry every time we hit a bump!  I felt so helpless!  They got us in fast and we had X-rays done!  Poor girl could not hardly move to get in proper position for X-rays and was screaming in pain!  The X-Ray didn't show a fracture but the doctor said there is a lot of swelling and sometimes that can hide a fracture!  He put her in a sling and we are going to follow up in a few days! 

She started to feel a little better and passed out in the car on the way home!

We let her sleep in our bed and she whined and moaned all night!  Poor girl!  My fingers and toes are crossed she wakes up feeling so much better!

Our looong week

I have been exhausted this week!  Coming back into a full schedule after doing nothing for a week has been brutal!!  Monday morning I suprised myself and actually made it to the gym for my class!  It kicked my butt!!  When I got home I deep cleaned my bedroom and bathroom!  It was filthy!!  Kenzie had gymnastics and then we came home and ate dinner and snuggled in my bed!  They told me at least 20 times how happy they were that I was home!!  Tuesday Madi and I dropped Kenzie off at school and when we went to leave my car felt funny! I turned it off and and got out to look and my tire was busted, flat on its rim!  Scotty came and switched me cars and I took Madi to gymnastics!!  When we got back from picking up Kenzie I gave them a bug kit I had bought a while back and forgot about!  That kept them entertained for an hour running around trying to find bugs!!

Wednesday morning I was back in the gym and super sore!  It is true that if you push through it and work out anyways you will feel less sore!  I ran out to Trader Joes when I left the gym!  The closest one is about 45 minutes from me and I normally only make it there about once a month!  For dinner I made zucchini noodles and mushrooms covered in a laughing cow cheese sauce and some baked chicken!  I wasn't really expecting the girls to be fooled into thinking they were regular noodles but they both ended up loving it!

After dinner we put up some glow in the dark stars on their ceiling!  (Remember back to the star stickers she secretly put all over her room when she wasn't supposed to...). Scotty took Kenzie to a make up gymnastic class while me and Madi stayed home and took a bath and got ready for bed!  

Thursday morning I went to the gym and did a butts and guts class!  I could barely make it!  I came home and lounged around with Madi until it was time to pick Kenzie up from school!  

She woke up on the wrong side of the bed after her nap and screamed and cried the whole way to the school and the whole time at the school!  Kenzie had a cookie that she saved from school and wanted to eat it in the car and Madi asked if she could have a bite, of course Kenzie said no!  This was our conversation:

Me: Give your sister a little piece.

Kenzie: But it's my cookie.

Madi: Please sissy.

Kenzie breaks off the tiniest crumb and gives it to her.

Me: I bet Charlotte shares with her little sister. (Charlotte is a little girl in her class that has a little sister the same age as Madi)

Kenzie: No

Me:  Thats not nice, she missed her sissy all day.

Madi: Yeah I missed sissy all day.

Kenzie: Well you should have got Charlotte to give you some.

I.Thought.I.Was.Going.To.Die. She did end up giving her a bigger piece of her cookie!  We stopped off at the park to play on the way home.

Korie and Dallas came over to play and we made our own pizzas for dinner.

We played duck duck goose a hundred times after dinner and then said our goodbyes and called it a night!  Friday morning the girls and I went to the trampoline park and I tried out a new workout!  The kids got to jump and play while the moms worked out!  It was great and I will definitely be back!

Later that evening we had our make up session of bluebonnet pictures!  The kids did so good and I got another workout in from dancing and jumping behind the photographer!  We picked Scotty up on the way home and went to dinner!!

Back to reality

Sunday morning we were up super early and off the boat by 9.  We were both so anxious to get home to our babies!  It rained and was nasty the whole way home!  We got home around 2 and the girls about ran us over and knocked us down with hugs!!  They had made us a welcome home poster and it was really sweet!

Not the best lighting but trust me it was super cute!  I got us all unpacked and started on the many loads of laundry .  Later I needed to go get groceries and Madi followed me around saying "don't leave me mommy, no cuze no cuze".  It was so sad!  My mom did an amazing job taking care of my babies while we were gone!  I am so thankful she was willing and able to help us!  The first day we were on the boat I bought a wifi package for my phone so that we could email back and forth!  It worked out even better and we were able to FaceTime each other!  Mom also sent me lots of pictures of them throughout the week!  Both girls had to go to a new daycare on Monday while my mom went to work!  Madi was not having it at all and pitched the mother of all fits I heard!  The director sent me pictures later assuring me that all was well!

Tuesday Madi went to daycare and Kenzie went to Laura and Bella's house and they took her to school!  Bebe picked them up early and took them to Chuckee Cheese!

Wednesday they both went back to daycare and brought home little crafts that they had made!

Madi was so proud of her art project!! Thursday was daycare for Madi and school for Kenzie and then Friday both of them at the daycare!  Neither one of them liked going to the daycare and Kenzie said they were mean and yelled at them a lot!  They both said that if anyone talked they had to change their color!  Hearing Madi explain this and having absolutely no clue as to what she is saying is hilarious!  Saturday morning Kenzie had a t-ball game early early.  Mom said she did great and her coach sent me an email saying how good she played and how proud she is of her!

  I also heard Bebe let them eat popcorn in my bed, had a picnic in the living room and stayed up late playing!

I was so happy and relieved to see those smiling faces when we got home!  A million thanks to my mom for keeping them safe and loved while we were gone!!!
