Cast Free, A Great Surprise & Funnies ~

Jackson got his cast off last week. We went and had it re-xrayed and everything looks good. They thought he would have to have therapy, but the Dr. is hoping he will gain enough mobility on his own.
He goes back next Wednesday for another xray and to check his progress on bending, lifting, etc.

Last Saturday morning, my sister sent me a text saying she was in Macon. We had not been able to talk to each other in abotu 2 weeks ~ a LOOONNGG game of phone tag to say the least ~ so I had NO CLUE she was in Georgia!!! She told me she had a great room and wished I was close enough to come see her! (She was there for a wedding.) She thought we were about 3 hrs apart, but we were only 90 miles away! Within 20 mins I had us packed up and out the door to see Aunt Tasha!!! We have lived here 10 years and that is the first time (and probably the only time!) I have ever gotten to see my family unexpectedly! I was soooo excited! The kids and I got there and had lunch at their favorite place ~ Mellow Mushroom. After lunch, we met my sister and headed downtown to shop some. While she was at the wedding, MD & I got pedicures and then when she returned, we watched a movie. Super low key, but oh so much fun!
She has to be of the FUNNIEST people ever! We would have so much fun if we lived closer! My children adore her and I am so thankful for the chance to see her!

Funnies from the week ~

JD"Mama, don't wash my clothes anymore, I'm just gonna hang them in my closet until they start stinking." I said, "That is nasty!!! Why?" JD "When you wash my clothes, I smell like a woman. I don't want to smell like woman...I want to smell like dirt."

After bathtime the kids were cuddling in my bed. MD said, "Jackson, you smell soooo good!" He replies, "I don't know how...I didn't use one bit of soap!" I said, "Jax!!! That's so gross!" He said,"It must not be too gross, I never use soap and you didn't even know....you can just waller around and I get plenty clean!"

MD ~ "mama, you do a great job at dressing me...but you need a little help for yourself. How about you pick out my clothes and I will pick out yours. You need an intervention or something!"

We have been talking a lot about Jackson's decision to accept Jesus into his heart lately. Mary Dalton said, "I am not asking Jesus into my heart this time of year....no way!!! All those people kissing and hugging you and it being the middle of cold, flu and strep throat season! no way!!"

We are staying BUSY BUSY BUSY as usual, but are looking forward to a fun weekend at the farm with lots of family time!
