Breaking Bones and Breaking the Law


Our poor little pretty fell down the stairs last week. It was right before bedtime, so I put her to bed afterwards and the morning after we could tell she needed to be seen. We zipped on up to the hospital and found that her little clavicle snapped in two during the trip down the stairs. She has been a great trooper, although the sling lasted only for about 46 seconds. Katelee is not a lover of the tylenol/motrin regime she has been prescribed and has detected it in her apple juice and chocolate milk and then refuses to drink. She told me she will take it on her own and the little sneak gets the cup up to her chin and then slowly tips it down her shirt or will take a small sip only to spit it out the side. Good thing the projected recovery time is only three weeks!
Later that week, Grant decided that a pack of gum calling his name at Kinkos did not need to be paid for and he swiped it right into his pocket. He later confessed to Dave...the gum was returned...no charges have been filed at this time! Grant has been teaching us after the infamous gum theft, about "sins," and other things that are "un-assesstable" (I believe unacceptable is the proper word he was going for here.) We receive these lessons as he teaches us when we play "church" or "primary." Last time he conducted a meeting, he taught me a soul saving lesson, all about AMERICAN EXPRESS! Like father, like son I suppose!

Hahahahahahahaha is for the Grant man!!! I just can't stop laughing over that one. He is just too funny!! And then poor little Katelee, but that is funny about the medicine. She is too smart isn't she. Hope she heals quickly and tell Dave to watch out for his little "convict". Hahaha Just kidding!!!

Kara-

You are a very good and patient mom. I am glad you are writing this stuff down to remember, I have never been good at that. You forget fast, especially when you have four!

Just wait!

Poor little girl--she is still as cute as ever. Oh that Grent. I am happy he confessed and learned the error of his ways:) That is great he likes to play church!

smart little Grant, that is so funny. Ava would like his church, the only thing she likes about going to our church is singing and coloring and the most important the snack. The rest is just boring. Sorry Katelee fell, Kobi did that when his uncle tripped and fell on him during a football game a few years back.
