Broken Foot

Good thing we got out and did lots of fun things earlier this month because we are sure going to be slowed down now!  I broke my foot on Monday playing basketball with the boys.  I was chasing after a ball that was headed for the street and twisted and fell hard on my left foot.  I managed to hop inside and get ice on it, but it still swelled the size of a tennis ball.  Craig came home and said we needed to get it xrayed.  Sure enough, it was a clean break of the fifth metatarsal.  I'm realizing how difficult it is to have one good leg.  The crutches hurt quite a bit, so luckily I got a knee scooter which has been VERY helpful.  It's still not easy getting around and I've definitely had to slow down, but I'm trying to learn the art of relaxing and the patience of being at home more and also not being able to work out.  It will be wonderful to heal and be back to normal!

 The boys have been soooo helpful and sweet to their Momma Man, rushing  to open doors for me and helping get things for me around the house or bring things down from upstairs.  Cole even made Max's note for his lunch this week.  I usually make it but Coley wanted to help out. So sweet.  It has also made me realize how many wonderful friends and family members I have who have been so helpful.  I am truly grateful!

 Craig and I had had plans for a long time to got to a concert Tuesday night, the day after I broke my foot.  I wasn't going to let my foot stop me.  We had an awesome time even though it was quite a challenge on the crutches.

 Lots of cuddle time on the couch with my guys

The knee scooter has been a life saver!  It really helps me get around the house easier and the boys love it too! ;)

April Fun

We've had lots of fun earlier this month!

 Charlotte came over for a playdate with Max!

 Cole wanted to have a playdate with Molly in his class... we got to make our first trip out to Deanna Rose of the season!

 We went to see Charlotte's Web at Union Station children's theater and saw a show about the earth, moon and sun at the Planetarium.

 Met up with the Ryan boys at the library for lego day.

 Maxy found the puppy lego, of course!

Easter in Topeka!

We had such a fun Easter weekend in Topeka!  Cole and Max had been waiting to do these confetti eggs and surprised Poppy, Daddy and GG with them!

 Dying Easter eggs with GG

 Cole has a loose tooth! Poppy was teasing him about pulling it with pliers! ;)

 GG got special pillows for all the boys to have while at her house.  Max was obsessed with his puppy pillow and talked about it all weekend!

 Egg hunt time!

 Poppy, GG and their boys!

 GG always sets the prettiest table!

We love our family so very much!!  What a special Easter.

Max's Preschool Egg Hunt

Maxy had his first preschool egg hunt on Tuesday.  He was so excited about the eggs he brought... they had little plastic puppies in them.  As he was hunting for eggs, he was looking for the ones he brought, but he didn't end up finding any.  They must have been in a different section. :)

Cutie pie!

Leawood City Egg Hunt

Last Sunday we went to the Leawood City Eggstravaganza.  Daddy was cooking hotdogs as usual and we got to see the Easter Bunny and do a fun egg hunt.  We ended up running into several friends there, the Winters, Ayres and Bitters.  The boys had a blast and were being pretty silly!
