What a week

This week isn't even over yet, but already it's been crazy. It started Sunday night with Ada hurting her arm while playing Ring Around the Rosie with Tyler. He heard a pop and she wouldn't move her arm at all after that. We thought it was her wrist hurting. The next day Morgan came over. We went to Ross, then up to my in-laws' house because we'd left Ada's blanket up there. We stayed a while and ate lunch, then had to go to Wal-mart to run a few errands. I decided to call the doctor about Ada's arm and they told me to bring her in. So after Wal-mart I had to run home to put the milk in the fridge, drive to the doctor, and feed Kate in the parking lot before walking in (this was right in the middle of nap time. At least Ada slept a little in the car) . It turns out her elbow was out of socket, so the doctor popped it back in. It was really painful for her and she still wouldn't move her arm until morning, but luckily everything is good. Then just to make things interesting, I consented to going boating with Tyler's family at Echo. I had just enough time to come home to feed Kate and grab our swimming suits before I met Tyler to leave. Sheesh!

Tuesday I met my friends for "lunch" in South Jordan to celebrate Amber's new baby. We went to Kneaders and it was really good. Again, this was in the middle of nap time, so I dropped Ada off at Korrin's so she could sleep there. Phew. She was being so naughty it was good to get her off my hands (I knew she'd be an angel for Korrin though). It was so good to be with my friends and it helped me relax from all my stress. That night I had to go help teach the first three new member discussions for my calling as a Ward Missionary. It went pretty well. I'm actually excited about my calling.

Wednesday we ended up staying home, which was pretty nice. I got a little bit done around the house and got a good nap in.

This morning we met Korrin and Ella at Kangaroo Zoo. It's just down the street from us and has tons of blow-up bouncy toys and slides. Ada had a blast. Tonight I took the girls to Kiddie Kandids. Tyler took a break from work to meet us there, then went right back afterwards. Ada was good at the beginning, but wouldn't get in a picture with Kate. We got some good individual ones of them both though.

Tomorrow we're going to Lagoon. We get in free with Tyler's work. I don't know how long we'll stay, but Ada will love it. So yeah, what a week! I would never have dreamed of doing any of this stuff when Ada was a newborn! This week has seemed even crazier because Ada has been throwing so many fits. She's a feisty one. Sometimes I can't handle her. She throws so many tantrums. Luckily Kate has been a little angel, or I think I'd go crazy!

You are so brave for getting out so much already. It certainly is tricky getting two kids around. I think you need some major R and R for yourself! I'm glad Ada's arm is better.

I can't believe how much you are out and about already! Way to go! Hailey did that to her arm last Sunday at church... nurse maids elbow. What a name! Anyway, it had happened to Brad a couple years ago and Hailey when she was a baby. I had them teach me what to do.... but it didn't work for me this time so I had to take her in. It took a whole 10 seconds to fix it! O-well! Hopefully you will get some down time this next week!

Wow, you are out and about a lot too...isn't it so tricky sometimes! Ha! I never would have dreamed to go so many places when Kaylie was little either, but you have to with 2...gotta keep the toddler busy and out of the house! I'm sooo glad to know you can't keep your house clean either! :)

My old bookclub friend! How are you and Tyler? I randomly found you through a friends blog and though we'd say hi to you and Tyler. Hi!
