Day with the girls.
Audrey's friend Hannah celebrated her birthday by having the girls go have makeovers. They got their hair and nails done and also a little make-up put on. Of course while the girls were getting their pampering I had my nails done.
Audrey was a little upset because they just put her hair in braids. She did however have a lot of gold glitter in her hair.
Sarah, Hannah and Macy chat it up with the rest of the girls.
Afterwards we went shopping and out to eat.
Hannah enjoyed her food. You can dress up a little girl and make her look like a big girl, but that little girl will always come out.
Bad Mom !?
It started the week of teacher appreciation. Will came home and showed me his arm. It was swollen. He said he was trying to jump on a bar at recess and he slipped and fell. I looked at it and called the pediatrician. The nurse told me to put ice on it and give him ibuprofen. If it looked worse in the morning to bring him in. Well he wasn't any worse. He could move his fingers and pick up light objects so we didn't worry about it. So Thursday we went to my in-laws and Pop looked at it and said he thought it could be fractured and that we needed to bring him to the ER. So Pop, Will and Mark went to the ER. They came back 3 hours later and yes Will's growth plate was fractured. I felt so bad. As a mom I should have known that it was fractured. I told him how sorry I was.
He didn't like the cast but seemed to be getting along ok with it. He had it on for 3 weeks and got it off on a Tuesday. So that Saturday we had a big bon fire and all the kids played. Later that night I looked for Audrey and she had put herself to bed. The next morning she came in and told me her foot hurt when she walked. I asked her what happened and she said one of the older boys fell on her and she heard a crack. I told her she was fine. Later we were outside and I saw her ankle was bruised and swollen. I just figured it was sprained since she was walking on it. The next morning on the way to school it was still swollen so I told her I would take her to the pediatrician. I figured she needed an ace bandage. The Dr. to x-rays came back and said that Audrey's growth plate was fractured and I needed to go to the orthopedic surgeon. So we went and she got a cast on.
Yes, she picked out the barbie pink cast. She had friends sign it.
So my question is should I have known instinctively that my kids had broken bones??? (ok, fractured). After asking other mothers around here they have been through the same thing. All I know any time something is swollen on them we are going to the DR..

Catch Up
I am catching up on our lives since I haven't been posting. The weekend after teacher appreciation we went to Zachary, La to visit my in-laws for the night. My father -in-law looked at Will's arm and thought we needed to go have it x-rayed and it was broken so it was but in a soft cast. He was not happy at all.
The next day we headed to New Orleans. We stayed with my dad.
Daddy met Cindy and became quite fond of her. I don't think he will ever admit it though. Later that night we went to dinner and enjoyed wonderful southern food.
AUDUBON ZOO
When we got back from the zoo. We hung out and visited with my sisters. I really enjoyed hanging out and talking. Later that night we dyed eggs for the Easter Bunny.
HAPPY EASTER
When we got down to the quarter's their was a small parade and Audrey and Will caught a lot of stuffed animals.

We then went into Jackson Square to take pictures.

He even took me for a ride. I was cleaning and doing yard work. I took a break for a great ride though. Then I went and took a shower.
Spring Break was up and then we had to get back to school. Talent show try-outs were the first day back to school. Will and Audrey made two acts each.

Will's Discovery's class went on their annual trip. This year we got to see the Knights and Medieval Times.
His friends are ready for the action.
His teacher got the Queen of Love and Beauty banner from our knight.
Will poses with our knight. I was so glad we got a cute knight. The kids had so much fun. And so did the moms and dads.
SPRING PICTURES
Will got his haircut on Sunday and they had school pictures on Monday. I picked them up and decided to take my own spring pictures of them.
