Because I was busy the past 37 days...

Okay, okay.
I promised I would keep this up and I have failed.
I can show you why...
Broken leg... LEFT broken leg. Yes, dearies, the Thursday before spring break, the kid runs down a hill and fractures his tibia. And because I'm the best mommy out there, I rushed to the local bookstore so I could get an anatomy book so he can study up on bone structure for his first step to becoming an orthopedic surgeon... and then I gave him a hug and some ice cream.

So, we still went to Florida. No sand, no water... but, we could go to Disney. And let me tell you, Disney in a wheelchair is pretty sweet. I recommend it highly.

But then, you can take kids to Disney, but you can't force them to like it. Here's Riley dissing Mickey:


Owen ended up having fun, but he was pretty pissy for the first hour (or three). Here is in in line for It's a Small World and he's just mad about... um.... well, at the time it was really important like he doesn't want to have arms or all I ever want to eat for the rest of my life is popcorn...


But, they did have a good time at the Brevard County Zoo. Owen fed some birds:


And some giraffes:




Riley did not:
He did have a pretty rocking birthday though. All it took was cake, a little mini-golfing, and some 50-cent rides at the mall. Sweeeeet.

But Owen's favorite part? Yup. Fruit Loops.

Haha I've only broken my nose. On the back of Rachael's head. It is my proudest injury.

And thank you so much with the poem. I don't want to act like I know what I'm talking about, but I felt like I understood everything you said.

I still mean everything I said though.
