Yesterday, Sarah discovered her jewlery box. She opened the box to discover a twirling ballerina. It was as if she had opened our front door and saw Cinderella’s Castle in our front yard. Her smile lit up the room and she said to me, “Mom, isn’t she just beautiful!” Then she kissed her.
Fast forward one day. Olivia spotted the same jewlery box, took one look at the ballerina and ripped right out of the box!!!! Not exactly the same reaction. Sarah was quick to discipline Olivia, rip the ballerina out of her hands and return her to her rightful spot.
This is the first post in a couple of weeks. Don’t ask me how, but I herniated a couple of discs in my neck and I’m just now feeling well enough to sit at the computer and write again.
It has been quite a week. Dave went away on a business trip for a couple of days in Salt Lake City, Utah and came home just in the nick of time to take care of two sick kids and to take one “neck-spasmed” wife to the ER and then to the Orthopedist. I’m sure he’s thanking his lucky stars he came home so soon. Somehow I think he’d rather have stayed with the Mormons and joined The Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints! He certainly would have found more peace there 
I sit here on Saturday, with my neck a little twisted and some pain going down my arm. But I’m grateful that both my girls are fever free and I’m feeling a little better!
During all of the comotion this week, my little Livi figured out how to climb onto the chair in the green room. But if you know Livi like I know her, it’s not enough just to be able to sit on the chair. Nooooooo, she must also stand on the chair and give her mother a heart attack a hundred times a day.
Here’s the proof captured on film!
Climbing Up!
Nicely Sitting!
Must Stand Up!
TROUBLE!!!!!
