A Moment of Sheer Terror
We'd just finished dinner, and the girls were playing outside on their swingset (the backyard is just off the kitchen). DH was in the kitchen doing some clean-up (he had his MP3 player on, and the water running) and I was up in the office answering some e-mails (the office is on the same side of the house as the yard, and I can hear some noise from out there). Next thing I know, I hear Isabelle screaming, and I race down the stairs yelling- "Is everything ok out there?". Turns out DH couldn't hear anything, and I was the first to see Isabelle hanging upside down, her foot stuck in one of the rings on the swingset. We raced out there and got her down- no lasting damage done- not sure if she's sprained the ankle or not. When she forgets, she'll start walking/jumping on that ankle- but she couldn't bear weight on it for a while...That was another couple of gray hairs for Mommy!

Almost a month
Since I last posted. Falling back into bad habits again...
Work has been busy but is finally slowing down. I actually got to take a couple days off, once when I went to a scrapbooking retreat (first time I've paper scrapped in a long time!), and then Friday, for Isabelle's preschool graduation. It was very sweet- her whole class got to wear gowns, and the ones who are going on to kindergarden in the fall got to wear caps. They had a program with songs and prayers, and a reception afterwards, with cakes that the kids decorated themselves!
After the graduation, we stopped at a carnival that the school where Isabelle is probably going to kindergarden this fall was having. It was fun...DH put his foot in his mouth when he said "Of course you can do the fishing game" without paying attention to the fact that it was real goldfish that they were giving away. So Isabelle won one, which she named gold. Unfortunately, we just got rid of the old fish tank I used to have...so I had to go out to Walmart to buy one, and some fish food (the cashier said "Everyone is buying fish stuff tonight" LOL). Things were going fine until around noon the next day, when Isabelle came to us, and said "I think Gold is dead"...and sure enough...So now, we've got a tank and no fish...I think we'll have to end up going out and getting another...
Yesterday, we had a sitter over, and went out to see Spiderman 3- I thought it was pretty good (although, the main reason we decided to see it in the theater instead of waiting for it to come out on DVD was to see the previews for Harry Potter, and Pirates 3 on the big screen- LOL).
Today, we went out to brunch, and then shopping- for a combination Mother's Day, Father's Day and anniversary (8 years in June) gift, we're getting a big screen TV! Yippee. (We were going to hold off...but we got a playstation a while ago...and got a wireless controller, so we can sit on the couch...and now it's hard to see the writing on the screen! So we got obsessed again! LOL There are some decent sales this weekend though, and we'll have it for the season finally of Lost! Yay!
Other big news- Isabelle can ride her bike without training wheels, all by herself! She learned how this weekend! Way to go Isabelle! My baby is growing up :(
