A Leg Up

We've danced this dance before

Sad Day. Liv tripped and then tumbled and fractured her leg.

 Look at that cute chubby leg. 
 So sad. 

 A splint
 The doctor was probably one of the best doctors ever. He was kind and took the time to talk to me and follow up. He was nice enough to compliment me for keeping it together. Little did he know I cried on the way there and once I left the office. LOL 
 Getting confident and comfortable with moving around 


 We upgraded to a cast. It is much better and we feel more secure letting her run wild, at least as much as she can. 

4 weeks with the cast then she should be good to go. :)

A Grand Weekend

Lars went to a guys camping trip. I had a super fun weekend planned with the kids and I. 
 I had the kids get their flu shots. Afterwards we had dinner at Arby's. Roan got to eat his first Beef n' Cheddar. He said, "It's not good...its SUPER GOOD!" 
He has legs for days...

 We were sure to relax around the house a lot. I planned fun stuff but I feel like the most fun we have is just sitting around the house and playing. I enjoy listening to the kids play together and interact. 

 I love this pic because it looks like she is holding the camera. LOL

We went on a fun walk/hike near our house. 



 Roan wanted a pic with the "forest".


 We found these gems on the walk.
We got our craft on. Roan had to wear a painting hat and apron.  
 I LOVE wood creations. We will most definitely do more of this. 

Liv wanted a pic with her baby and blanket.  
 I adore having a daughter to dress up. Liv doesn't mind it too much. Most of her updos don't last more than a few hours we have to record them early. She looks darling Sunday with her hair, dress, and shoes. 

Liv is this babys Mommy. She does good to take care of her. One time I put Liv to bed and her baby doll was on the other side of the crib. I heard Liv say, "Get over here baby." LOL 
Roan drew me a pic of us and then a pic of the ninja warrior course. LOL 

We did lots of baking. 

We ended the weekend at the park. 
This weekend was so much fun and memorable. I love being with my kids. When they went to bed I was nice to myself and got some Stephanie time. I watched lots of movies (Beauty & the Beast, Sully, The Crown Series, The Peanuts Movie, Hacksaw Ridge) and snacked and tried not to worry about the mess around me. Its a good thing to practice self love with time for yourself.
