We were in a 5 and dime store in Branson, Missouri, and this is what Jessie picked out. Handle is pink, and has a holster. Brought tears to my eyes. :)

First Crockett Girl Broken Bone

Well, it finally happened. It surprised Holly, but it did not surprise me as to which one had the first broken bone. Jamie has long been the climber, but she has been climbing a lot lately. Today, she was playing on one of the forts at the daycare playground and fell about 3 or 4 feet. Long story short, she has what is called a buckle fracture of the left radius and ulna, very near her wrist. She is quick to correct us when we say she has a broken arm, and says she broke her wrist. I guess that is where the pain is, but it is actually her arm very near the end of the bone at the wrist.

The good news is that she didn't suffer any other injuries apparently, and the arm will not require surgery or casting. She will wear the pictured brace for 2 weeks. She guards it carefully, but it has not stopped her from climbing all over the place today. She pinched her other hand in a door, fell and hurt an ankle, and has had other injuries today. Jessie was also getting tired and fussy during the supper prayer, and bumped her head very hard on the table during the prayer. I guess it wasn't supposed to be funny, but I guess it was because of its timing.

Anyway, we have all survived another day, but barely.

Jessie

Everything looked good on Jessie's exam today. Biopsies are pending but there is nothing suspicious. Thanks for everyone's prayers.

Conversation between me and Jamie Lyn today:
Me: What is 1+1?
JL: Red!
Me: What is Red +2?
JL: Blue!
Me: What is Blue +4?
JL: Ariel!
Me: What is Ariel +4?
JL: (Long pause) I don't know!

Mama Sue's latest creation for me!

Strike One!

Our wonderful little angel got her first strike today, for talking when she wasn't supposed to. It's actually kind of cute, in a first-time sort of way. Especially since, surprise of surprises, it was for talking.

We carved a Snow White pumpkin!

What was it?

Tonight after the girls' bath, I dried Jamie Lyn off, and told her to go to the den and we'd watch baseball. She took off, yelling, "I gonna watch baseball!"

Well, she ran into our bedroom where Holly was. She jumped up and down on the bed a few times, and then I took her because we didn't want to disturb Jessie, who was doing homework. I said, "Let's go do something. What was it we were going to do?"

She looked at me and promptly said, "Chocolate!"

Guess she has her own priorities.

Whistling

So...... Jessie learned to whistle last week. It has been pretty neat listening to her whistle. She is so proud. It is pretty loud too.

Well, Sunday, we were singing "The Battle Belongs to the Lord" at church. During one of those song pauses, right after the title was sung, there was a loud whistle that sounded like a bomb coming down. You know the kind, it has the steadily dropping pitch and volume. Pretty funny.

Jamie Lyn has discovered Isaacs clothes and was having a fashion show. Do you think the seamstress could let this out a little?!!!:)

Mama Sue made me this!

My first attempt at home made butter. Needs salt, but otherwise tastes pretty good.
