Becca's broken arm

So, we couldn't get an appointment to have her arm set in a splint until 4 days after she had broken it. By the time we went to the appointment, she was barely using the sling anymore, and had regained a lot of mobility in her arm. The doctor didn't seem all that convinced that she needed a splint, but Becca was VERY excited to get one, and he suggested she wear one for two weeks. Um, I can report she wore it for exactly 4 days before abandoning it completely. Now, it does hurt her if she bangs it, or y'know, her brother attacks her with his light saber, but other than, she's pretty well recovered.

Anyhow, here we are waiting to get the splint put on. I took this one myself.



Becca got the camera and snapped a few of us...

Here she is getting the splint molded to her arm. Notice the look on her face. Such AGONY...can you tell?

And she got to choose her own colors, and opted for rainbow. The next day at school, she reported to me that so many people asked her what happened to her arm and that she got so much attention that it was "annoying." I was speechless. Never, NEVER! has she gotten so much attention that it was annoying. She LOVES getting attention. So funny.

The Cellon Oak Incident

After we went to the strawberry patch, we went to explore the Cellon Oak, which is about amile up the road and purports to be the largest oak tree in Florida. The kids LOVED being monkeys, climbing all over the low lying limbs. The top picture shows the kids on the tree. The limb Becca is on, is the same one she fell of when she broke her arm. She was having a lot of fun till then...

Strawberry Patch

A few weeks back we went to pick strawberries at a local patch with our friends from playgroup. This was our first time, and we ALL loved it! So much so that we each filled our buckets with juicy, sweet ripe strawberries and left with almost 15 pounds of strawberries that day! I tried to get a snapshot of the kids and the patch. Both of them got it in their heads to say "Happy Strawberry Day!" which made it challenging to take a natural looking picture of them. I implored them to not say "Happy Strawberry Day" and instead if they could just pretty please point their heads in the direction of the camera, that would be awesome. No such luck. This is the best of 5 shots I took that day.
