Living with a Cast and Police Helicopters

If you haven't figured this out, I pretty much only blog when I am away from Dan or my parents to let them know what's going on around home.  Mundane stuff.  

Katie has been getting used to life with a cast.  She can get on the toilet with a little help but can't rip the toilet paper off the roll yet :(  She did actually carry a stuffed animal with her cast hand today which was great for her.  She is having a lot of trouble eating with her left hand so I have to cut everything up really small and give her a sharp adult fork and still feed her a little.  It is quite a challenge feeding two kids and trying to eat myself.  We were very lucky that our awesome neighbor Lexi brought us a lasagna, bread, salad, and brownies so I didnt have to cook anything today.  Hopefully soon we can get back into a normal routine.  In the bath we wrap her arm in a trash bag with duck tape and she rests it on one of her stools.  We went to Target today to get some more Tylonel.  Apparently the stuff from the pharmacy tastes terrible.  We also got pens to sign her cast and tried to find Disney Princess movies with the free digital download (not easy)  When I went to give her the medicine tonight apparently we did not buy it :(  Not sure what happened.  It was in the cart but I didnt pay for it.....  Guess we will be back tomorrow.

 

Katie and Sleepy Elle are twinsies with matching casts now. 

When we got home from Target we drove by cops cars. As I was entering my neighborhood there were two helicopters circling giving us the description of a man they were looking for and oh by the way my garage door was wide open. WTF?!?!?  I drove to my neighbors house and had her watch my kids while I went inside to see if some creepy white dude wearing all black was in there.  Luckily I didn't find him.  Why does this stuff happen?  For some reason now that Dan is gone Katie doesn't want to sleep with Levi anymore even though she has been for the past few months :(  I need them to sleep together so he doesn't cry all night and I actually get to sleep.

Before Katie went to bed she listened to a story that Dan read for her.  Levi walked in the room and said, "Da Da!" looked around and then ran to the garage and started knocking on the door looking for him :(

Now, if the kiddos will actually go to sleep I will consider today a success :)  Everyone is still alive and more or less in one piece!
