Bike-a-thon

Tyler has his bike-a-thon yesterday. He had to ride in a straight line, then an even skinnier straight line, between cones and finally in a circle without touching the lines.  He did great!

Halloween Crafts

I have realized I did way more crafts with Tyler than I do with Molly.  I figured I needed to get busy with some Halloween projects.  Tyler was off school Monday, so we did handprint and footprint painting.  They turned out pretty cute.

These are Miss Molly's.  She wouldn't hold them nicely for a picture.

Enjoying the weather

The last few days we have had wonderful weather.  It's been 60 degrees in the morning and only getting up to 85.  Sunday, we went to the field to fly our new kite and run the doggies a bit.

Tyler gets his cast off

Last Friday, Tyler got his cast off.  They had called me on Tuesday and said they had to reschedule him for the following Thursday and I said-uh, no!  You can't make a 6 year old who's been counting down the days wait another 6 days.  They managed to get him in. 

Tyler thought it was cool that he could touch the blade while it was going and it

He is still favoring that arm and will be for a little while.  He holds it up by his stomach most of the time, but he can straighten it and every now and then I've see him use it.  He still can't do PE for 4 weeks until his recheck, so he was bummed about that.  Everything looked good in the x-ray though and he's happy to have it off.

Tyler's broken arm

This past Saturday, Tyler broke his arm.  We have a gate on the stairs so Trooper can not go up-it's not puppy proof up there.  Tyler likes to come down the stair and jump over it.  He's made it over every other time and we've told him over and over not to jump over it.  But he's a boy and thinks he can do anything!  While I love that about him, we know he is not invincible like he thinks.  Well, Saturday he clipped his foot on it and landed on his arm.  Scott took him to Urgent care and they did x-rays and confirmed it was broken.  It's his left arm and they said it was above the elbow, almost in the same place he broke it 2 years ago.  Yesterday at the Pediatric Orthopedic, he did not see a break there.  It is below the elbow.  He has to wear a cast for almost 4 weeks.  He did get a camo one like he wanted.

This is the splint he got on Saturday.

My little gymnist

Molly started gymnastics today and loved it!  She did not want to leave.  They did stretches, obstacle course, trampoline, balance beam, summersaults, free time and she loved it all.  Isn't she the cutest in her leotard and shorts!

First Haircut

Miss Molly had her first hair cut yesterday.  She always wants her hair down and it kept getting stuck under her arms and in her car seat belt, so we knew it was time to get a little trim.  She was such a big girl and did great. 

She, of course, let Julia do her hair when she was finished.  She did pig tails and the part was criss cross.

 Here are the official before and afters.  She got about 2 1/2 inches cut off.
