CORNBELLYS

Saturday we took the girls to Thanksgiving Point to go see the animals and ended up going to Cornbellys instead. It was actually really fun. The girls had a great time and the weather was perfect. Meg is still very timid about anything even a little big or scary. She is for sure our softy. She loved the cars and a few of the slides and even made a new friend, Alexa.
Ava is the exact opposite and is ready for anything. She loved the tramps and the slides

which Lance even sent her down some of the pretty big ones, too big!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY- MEG

4 years ago tomorrow Meg was taking an unexpected trip to Primary Children's Hospital thanks to her mama. One Sunday morning Lance was putting Meg down for nap. When putting her down for a nap I usually will take out any hair things that she is wearing, which lance was unaware of. So meg went to bed with a pink star barrett in her hair. Lance hated those barrett's and continued to tell me that they were dangerous weeks prior to this day. Of coarse I did not listen because it was all about how she looked, I know terrible.

About 20 minutes later we heard meg gag and throw up. We were not sure that she had eaten the barrette but could not find it anywhere. We ripped her room apart and nothing. I called everyone and they all said it will come through, even her pediatrician. So through out the next 7 days it did not come through. Meg was eating and acting very normal too.

On day eight I took her to be x-rayed to see if it was still there. It was lodged in her esophagus, no one could believe it. The doctors could not believe she was eating, breathing or anything else. They quickly sent her to Primarys. The doctors were worried that they would have to repair her esophagus after taking the barrette out but luckily it came out without any problems. We were there only a couple of days and after that she was good to go.

What a terrible experience and I have never felt worse. I am sure it was very hard for Lance to not say I told you so, but I fully learned my lesson.

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE...

I just got home from a long weekend at Jenn and Kevin's in Huntington Beach, ALL BY MYSELF!

It was Lances first time doing both girls for longer than a day. He did a great job although I don't think he wants me to leave again any time soon. He said it is really hard to do the single parent thing. I am sure that Meg loved it, she got to sleep in our bed, eat whatever she wanted or not at all and wear all sorts of clothes from all seasons.

Jenn and I had a great time. We shopped, ate a ton of candy and Carmel apples, saw Mama Mia(again, I love it!), went to the beach and then shopped some more. It was so nice to wander with no time schedule, kids or anything else. Such a great relaxing and much needed weekend.
