What in the HECK....

Okay for those of you who have seen me recently....no my husband has not started beating me, I think I just have to many darn kids. Last Sunday while minding my own business taking an afternoon nap after church I got hit with a shoe in the eye. This was not just any old flip flop, it was a wedge church shoe. So the girls (the big girls) were apparently fighting, they chased each other down into my room where one grabbed a shoe to chuck at the other who then ducked and I got a hit full force to my eye with a wedge church heel while dead asleep. Yes all of my children are still alive I did not kill anyone after this event, I was in to much pain....the girls ran to get Ryan and I laid in the fetal position on my bed. When he came to check on me my face was swollen up and the girls felt horrible. Over the course of the next few days as the swelling subsided (barely) my eye started to turn a hideous color of black and blue and then I had a yellow/greenish jaundice look down the side of my face as the bruising healed up. This pictures I took myself of my eye on about day 3 but as of day 16 I still have a minor black eye. I cannot stress how freakin painful a hit to the cheek bone is....WOW who knew! Anyway hopefully now there will be no more shoe throwing at the Bond house.

Highland Hawks Cheer Camp

The Highland Hawks Varsity Cheer Squad did a cheer camp for the local girls. The girls learned a cheer, tons of cheer moves, jumps and a little dance. They got to show off all their skills at the varsity football game Thursday night. It was so cute, they did a great job. They did 2-3 different cheers and then even got to do a paramid. The funniest part was that all week they were practicing at home and Sadie totally learned one of the cheers, which was super cute.

Girls Trip

So its been a minute since I left my family for any amount of time 4 years to be exact and Shari and Kelly (Shari's sis-in-law) invited me to California for a few days. It was so fun to not have to worry about anything....literally, I packed some clothes and we headed to the beach for 4 days. We drove up to Santa Barbara for a day and rented bikes and walked around in all the shops, we relaxed on the beach and most importantly we slept! It was super fun but the best part I have to say was calling home each night and hearing Ryan's stores....every night I was so happy I came and that he got just a little taste of what it was like to be me. The first night his tone was super annoyed and when I asked him what was wrong his reply was this "I just sat down for the first time and its 9!" Hee hee, oh poor baby! It was pretty funny hearing his stores about getting to games on time and carpool practices, etc. I so apprecaited everything he did but was kind of happy he struggled a bit, made me feel like its not as easy as he thought was going to be...I came home to 5 days with of laundry and a messy house but it was so worth it!

Broken Arm

Well this afternoon as Paige rode her bike to Mrs. Anderson's house for math tutoring she wrecked on her bike hurting her arm. I got a call from Mrs. Anderson telling me what happened. Ryan went and picked her up but she didn't really want to go to the doctor and said it was fun, she was just embarrassed. Totally understandable right.....a couple days later I notice her not using her arm and decide to take her to the doctor. Fractured both bones in her forearm....mother of the year award right here. What the heck my kids has had a broken arm for 2+ days and I am just now taking her to the doctor. What kind of parent am I, oh well hopefully she will forgive me some day. She got a removable cast so she could shower....it looks just like a brace and was gracious enough to pose for a picture for me to blog about. She was super scared at the doctors office of the unknown asking all kinds of questions like is she going to touch my arm, how can they tell if it's broken, what does a cast look like...and here we are all done with a removal cast and all her sweet little questions answered.

Preschool

So my super good friend Shari Goodman...who happens to be an amazing mom is doing a 1 day a week preschool/early school class for 2.5 year old. She will be working on songs, circle time, centers, manners, cleaning up and sharing. Its $35 a month for one day a week for 2 hours. I was so excited for her to go today and she left my arms like no body's business, "see ya mom" she said as she ran away to Mrs. Sharri's door. When I picked her up I asked her what she did at Mrs. Sharri's today and she repeated every phrase Sherri said....it was freckin hysterical. "Be nice. Sit on your carpet. Clean up. Come out of the bathroom. Sit in your chair." It was laughing out loud in the car, she basically repeated everything Shari was telling all the kids to do and she loved every minute of, the next morning she woke up asking if she could go to Mrs. Shari's today.

Play Group:

So a couple ladies in my ward/neighborhood put together this amazing play group with 6 little girls all ages 2.5-3 years old. You drop your daughter off at the designated house from 9-11:30 (2.5 hours awesome right) and then you hold playgroup once every 6 weeks....and even better its FREE! I can't think of anything better Sadie gets to play with some super great friends, gets away from me for 2.5 hours and I can run errands guilt free and it doesn't cost me a dime. What a great idea. So we held the first play group....and this was our schedule

9-9:30 backyard time

9:30-10 play-doh

10-10:15 clean up

10:15-10:45 snack time

10:45-11 Handy Manny on Disney Channel

11-11:30 backyard/trampoline time

It was so fun and super easy as with that many girls they totally entertained themselves. I think she may have even found a new BFF. It is hysterical to listen to the conversations that 2.5 year olds have, I love it. I am so glad that we are doing this play group!
