Where to Go update

M i c......k e y.....M o u s e!! Yay!! Disney World here we come!!

This must be Jack's fault.

It's got to be Jack's fault somehow. The children never want to pretend to be good people.

Where to go...where to go

We're trying to decide where to go on vacation this summer. The kids and I are pulling for Disney (yes, I know...heat, crowds, and Brazilians) and Jack wants to go up to Virginia/Kentucky to visit his relatives and then head back through Tennessee stopping in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg and maybe Chattanooga. Hmmmm, a loooooong time spent in the car with the children while I contemplate the various ways I can painfully torture Jack as he sucks annoyingly on his millionth sunflower seed (and don't forget the spitting of the seeds, the SPITTING) verses heat, crowds and Brazilians. I'm thinking the Brazilians look pretty good right now.

Poor Little Broken Arm Boy, Part 2

Zachary fractured his arm the Monday before Easter. The cast above stayed on for 4 weeks and when his arm still wasn't healed, we went to a waterproof cast for the second 4 weeks. Let me tell you, waterproof casts are a gift from God. He could swim in the pool and I could dunk his arm right into the bathtub. It didn't even get as stinky as the regular cast. After 8 weeks, the cast is finally off and he's in a removable splint for another 4 weeks. Atleast we can take the splint totally off and he can swim, bath, and sleep without it.
