outside the clinic, looking ever so happy still.
Finally a smile, when she got an ice cream treat for

being so good.

So Monday night the kids were playing just before bedtime, Cheerleader and Basketball player, hence the cute outfit in the first photo's I just said to them 15 more min, while I was cleaning up after baths and stuff they were in the boys room playing when all the sudden Zar starts crying I went in and asked what happened she said she hurt her arm on the floor, I asked how she said she jumped off the toy box, while doing a toe touch. I told her she would be fine she ran to her bed crying that it hurt, now although Zar can cry forever when having a fit she doesn't usually cry much due to injury so I went in looked at it thinking that would calm her down, it was swelling and had some uneven lumps on the sides, I thought oh great, Winter was at dance so I text Mike telling him to come home (which is funny because I told him that I was going to call him home because I wasn't feeling well, which is actually a bit of an inside joke at the expense of one of his co workers. ) we debated back and forth for a while if we should take her or not, you know not wanting to be that crazy mom who takes their kid in for every little thing when there is nothing wrong, against being that mean mom who says your fine when you actually aren't. Finally Mike said better safe than sorry so he was on his way, then we thought going to insta care was better it would save us money. Mike got there about 5 min before they closed and said the desk attendant was less than thrilled, I got there a few minutes later and they quickly took her back, they did some x-rays the Dr. came back and said the x-rays confirmed what she thought she broke the 2 bones in her wrist. So they splint it and sent us home. Zarley is not happy about any of this and getting her to school on Tuesday was less than fun. She did not want to go at all she put one arm in her jacket and had Mike zip it up, I walked her into class because she was crying and unwilling to go, I told the teacher and told her how Zar didnt want to talk about it. Needless to say I left her kicking and screaming on the floor because she didn't want to be there, poor teacher, I love her. She didn't take her jacket off all day, and wouldn't dance at all that night, nor would she talk about it to anyone. She said to me " I decided to say it's a long story, even though it really isn't" I laughed. Wednesday we went to get her awesome pink cast and she is warming up to the whole thing a little, she did let some people sign her cast. Doesn't that make them look so gross and dingy? Oh well right? If that's what will get her to not be freaking out about the whole thing than sign away!

I have always thought Zarley would be our first one to break something, she has never had any fear, So I guess this is inevitable. We bought this cool thing to go over her arm for baths and swimming, they do have waterproof things, to go under the cast if anyone is wondering but insurance doesn't usually cover it so they don't offer it, they told me I could buy this thing for 40 bucks at the Salt Lake running co. or pay 40 bucks for the waterproof gauzey thing that goes underneath. So we decided to buy the cover thinking maybe it will come in handy with two little boys coming up behind her.
