In Answer to your Questions...

Somehow I failed to mention another summer mishap in the Crosby home- Sis's leg, or more specifically her foot. She had a run in with the trapeze bar on the swing set while she was playing outside alone. I found her in fetal position, screaming. The swelling was immediately ugly; which led to an Urgent Care visit and then two visits with the Foot Specialist. Now all that remains is this monstrous beast of a cast. This is Sis after the boys helped her feel better. And she did...Webkinz rule her world.

She was back up and running after a day. She soon accomplished walking a hole through the first cast within two days. The doctor was impressed at the damage to the cast. Onto the second cast (with much more material added to the underside). Sis had been a great sport about it all. She even held up pretty well during the two Swim/BB'Que parties that she had to observe...until...we went to the Zoo and she couldn't play in the exciting water river, hence the meltdown.

We made up for it with a play date with her friend, in which we did makeovers, finger nails and made cookies. Life got better...Zoo incident forgotten.

That picture of her crying at the zoo is heart breaking. You're such a good mom to make it up to her with a nail painting play date.

I feel sad for Macy for breaking your foot, not fun at all. As you can see on our blog our family has had two broken arms. It has been a little stressful at our house for sure. It looks like she is making out just fine. What a fun make over you gave her and her friend. Love all the webkins she has around her. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
