Movie Night

We rented this movie last night and William was SOOOO cute watching it. He loved all the dogs. Whenever the dogs were not on he would say "where dog go?" and when the dogs came back he said, "there's dogs!!!" I think I had more fun watching him than the movie.

He just gets cuter and cuter everyday!

We also rented "the day the earth stood still" for after the kids went to bed and it isn't worth putting a picture up for. You know a movie is bad when you keep looking at your watch thinking, "will this ever end?"

OOPS!

Unfortunately, I posted too soon. The dryer was mistakenly given to someone else. :(

Oh well, we can still be happy about our $7 boots.

The last couple of months have been full of unexpected yet necessary costs that have left us feeling a little stressed about our dwindling savings.

Then yesterday a fellow teacher offered us a free gas dyer!!! WOO-HOO! (Ours has been on its last leg for awhile now.)

And then today I took Robert boot shopping (the Dr. said that would be the best shoes for him.) and found some at Kohls on clearance for $7. Again, WOO-HOO!

A Wonderful Day

In Robert's words yesterday was "a wonderful day", and I wholeheartedly agree.

He got his casts off and is walking GREAT!!! Last week when they took them off he was still on his toes a little, but now he has full range of motion and no more toe walking!!!! It is so much fun to watch him run around.

He got his braces and will wear them for increments during the day for a few days then start sleeping in them.

And another reason yesterday was wonderful....it was my last scheduled apt until JULY! It has been like 3 months since I have had a week with no doctor or dentist apts. I'm sure things will come up between now and then, but just knowing that there is nothing scheduled makes me very happy.

Robert enjoyed his bath last night very much, and I enjoyed having a clean little boy again!

KA-BOOM

That is what could have happened after Robert somehow got the key for the gas fireplace and turned it on. We noticed this last night when we were playing outside and smelled gas.

A visit from the gas company revealed that the fireplace had been running for at least a couple of days. Luckily all the gas went straight up the chimney.

Oh yeah, that's gonna be one pretty gas bill!

And when David and I were trying to figure out how Robert got the key he said, "Oh, it was easy. I just climbed on the couch then this and reached up here."

He went from the couch to the video cabinet three feet away from the couch and grabbed the key from the fireplace mantel another 2 feet away. And this is with casts on both feet! So it is official, unless something has a padlock on it there is no safe place in this house!

But we have found a pretty good hiding place for that key.

Fun in the Tub

William has been enjoying his baths lately! I think these last few weeks have been the first time he has ever had the bath to himself!

Spiderman

Yesterday was another trip to LA and another set of casts! This time there was no flat tire and no insurance problems! YEAH!!! He made major progress over the last week so this will be his last set of casts!!! We are thrilled!

And how cute are those Spiderman casts? Robert was a little bummed at the prospect of getting more casts until the guy told him he could make special Spiderman or Batman casts. Robert perked right up and was excited for his new casts!
