It all started on Sunday. The kids and I were just hanging out, chilling, playing, watching Hallmark, sipping on some coffee, in the pj’s.. you know.. enjoying the weekend.
I had major plans for us this fine day.
We were going to declutter, organize, clean, and then the reward was a movie…
When I told them all this, I heard moaning and groaning.. oh the fun!I was in cleaning mode, so I got after it. I started in the boys’ room. I put on the Christmas music, and the boys were intrigued by what I was doing for about 5 seconds. Then, I heard them run upstairs to play with their legos. I was fine with this, as I just wanted to get this project done, as efficiently, discretely donating and throwing out things I know they don’t care about. I ended up with 4 trash bags, and 3 donate bags. Amazing!!
Once I finished their room, I moved onto Autumn’s area in the girls’ room. Oh boy!!! This girl loves her toys and considers every single thing to be a treasure. She holds everything dear to her heart, and cannot part with much. I had to recruit her help, as there was so much going on in there. Under the bed, under her desk, in hers and Allie’s closet, which Autumn dominated. So… after all was said and done in her area, we had 1 donate bag, and 2 trash bags. She somehow managed to find places for everything, and she was pretty proud of herself. I was too!
As for the reward.. they didn’t care until the end of the day. That’s when I heard the whining about not getting to go see Frozen 2.. oh my! too little too late my friends..
Anyway, I was now upstairs decorating the house with some additional Christmas stuff, when I heard the loud scream come from Austin. I tried to get the kids to tell me what happened, but that fell on deaf ears.. Austin just kept crying, and screaming in pain. My immediate thoughts when to Autumn. What had she done? Well.. it turns out, she had been chasing him with one of her birds, trying to get it to “poo” on him. He was running from her, and twisted his right ankle. I went down to inspect, and put ice on it. He was laid up the rest of the evening. I thought it was just a simple sprain, so put him to bed with the ice. In the morning though, he couldn’t put any weight on it. So, we went to the doctor, where they later determined that is a mild fracture. 😦
So…. now we have crutches and air stirrup until we get the appointment with the ortho…
should be a simple recovery time, no hindrance in his growth, or anything like that.
He’s in great spirits and loves having the crutches.. he really wanted a wheelchair.. go figure…
lol
