Pumpkin Patch Fun

The boys, Nana and me went to the pumpkin patch at Wesley Methodist church last Saturday. It was hard for William to understand that he could not get a blue pumpkin.

Sunday afternoon with the girls

We spent the other Sunday afternoon in the hayfield with the girls. All the kids had a grand time playing in the hay. Even William cooperated a little for a group shot.

Good as New!

Today we had William's recheck with Dr. Gilpin. William was such a trooper. Even though he was scared out of his little body, he didn't cry when, they took his cast off or re x-ray his arm. Thankfully Dr. Gilpin said his arm is all better, but to keep him quiet and still for the next three weeks. We have not been able to do this for the past 2 1/2 years so this out to be very interesting.

William loved bathtime tonight. He used his watering can to clean off his arm. He said "Look Mommy, I wet my arm!!!" He was so excited to be able to sit and splash in his tub.

Way to Go Edward!

Well Upward soccer has started once again. So our Saturday mornings are pretty much busy. Our team is the GAMECOCKS, and we are 1-1. Today Edward scored his first goal. We were all excited for him.

Poor Baby!

The saying that accidents happen at or near your home is true! Picture this: Two Wednesday afternoons ago, I am trying to call out Edward's spelling words, trying to keep an eye on William as he is throwing, rolling & kicking a ball, and trying to get supper ready for us to go to church. I told my little daredevil SEVERAL TIMES to put the ball away before he got hurt. He of course did not listen and yes I know I should have taken the ball away from him, but..... Well anyway, he either flipped over or fell over the ball landed wrong on his left arm and now we are on week 2 with a fractured bone near his elbow. He has a long blue cast. It could have been alot worse and we head back to Dr. Gilpin in Florence on Thursday. Hopefully all will be healed and he will get his cast off. This minor setback has not, much to my dismay, slowed him down. He is still as rough and tough as ever! But I guess we wouldn't want him any other way.

Something to work on...

Cody's birthday party was last weekend at the skating rink. Edward excited about the birthday, but not about the skating, but he thought he would get to ride the turtle scooters instead of skating. Well was he in for a big surprise. The skating rink no longer has the little scooters so Edward (bless his heart) had to try to skate. It didn't go so well!!! Picture a giraffe on skates! Luckily he had lots of help on the rink because he makes me too nervous. So skating is a skill we still need to work on.

Baby Cheyenne has been coming to our house since she was six weeks old. She is eight months old and we all love her. The boys just adore playing with her, and William especially loves take care of Net's baby.
