What a day or two

Seriously, I'm about to lose it!
Yesterday Isaiah decided to pee in his pants 3 times and once on the floor in the bathroom! 4 times in one day, what is going on?
When I woke up this morning, his shirt was wet.... with pee.
He peed through his pull-up and all over my bed from the king size comforter to the fitted sheet.
I now have to take that stupid king size comforter to the laundry mat again.
Here it is Thanksgiving tomorrow and I'm as bitter as a granny smith apple. Satan is trying to ruin me and he's doing a great job at it.
I have so much laundry to try and catch up on because Isaiah has peed on everything! I also have to get to the grocery in order to have things baked and cooked tomorrow to take to David and Kelly's for Thanksgiving lunch. We'll get to see the 3 kids and Nor Nor and Pop.
I'l be making the broccoli casserole, ham, rolls and apple pie.
To top it off, I burnt my right thumb on a 200 degree flat iron this morning. I grabbed that dern thang right on the hot surface. What a dummy! Now my thumb has a pink scar from the glass accident and a big puffy burn on it as well.
I'm determined to destroy that thumb after all.

Nursemaids Elbow

Last night I was watching 2 girls (ages 2 & 3) so their parent's could go to prayer and share.

It was about 9:00 when Isaiah got stuck behind the couch and Abby and Gracie decided they could pull him out. I told them to stop but it was too late. He was crying that his arm hurt so I felt on it and it made him scream. I knew something was wrong this time. When I felt on his arm right below the elbow it did not feel right. Fear set in.... was it broken or what? Ends up it was pulled out of socket and it's called nursemaids elbow. They showed me how to put it back into place if it ever happens again. I don't know how willing I am to put an elow back into place but I know how now.

He was such a trooper at the ER. He laid in my arms and just held his left arm with his right hand. When she had to put it back into place he screamed NO and just cried. It broke my heart, but it was over to fast. A few minutes later they gave him motrin and he moved it and just laughed at himself at what he'd done. He was so proud he could move it again.

He's fine today and playing as normal. We do have to make sure he's careful with it and to not let him hang on things or swing him by his hands because these are things that cause dislocations.

Sunday Sales

Today we all went to church at Pinedale Christian Church, which is the church Chris grew up in.

We went to their second service which is known as the contemporary service.

To me, it's what a normal worship service should be. I think out of 6 songs we sang, I only knew 3. I did feel a little lost this morning. They had a great band set up of drums, guitar, vocals, keyboard, sax and slide guitar. It was great. We also heard Jon Hauser preach, who is one of the YM's.

After we came home and had lunch, Nor and I took the kids out shopping. I love sales! First we went to The Rugged Warehouse, which is a small version of like a Gabriel Brothers.

I got a cute little pullover sweater for 4.99, a cute set of 3 "pearl" bracelets and big white sunglasses for 2.99!! What a steal!

Then we headed to K-Mart to look at toys and more sales. Nor got Isaiah a pair of "Cars" shoes and Gracie got fluffy, pink house slippers that say "I love Troy" (from HSM).

I found a plethora of UNC stuff on sale but can't say what because some are Christmas gifts!

I LOVE IT!!!

Our plan tomorrow is to shop....some more. There's supposed to be really good sales going on for Veteran's day.

By the way, THANK YOU to all of those out there serving our great America!! God Bless YOU!

Doodlebops

Today was a really neat day. Nor Nor and Pop took us to see the Doodlebops Live in Greensboro!

What a fun time!

Dee Dee, Rooney, Moe and Bus Driver Bob are super cool in person.

They really did put on quite the show of singing and dancing.

The kids had fun but you would not know it by looking at their faces.

They sat in their seats with arms folded taking it all in!

Pop and Nor Nor were super nice to buy them light up spinners and flags while there.

By night time the "Doodlebops" came alive in the house by the names of Gracie Doodle and Zayah Doodle.

NC

The kids and I made it to Nor Nor and Pops house safely.
We'll be here until Tuesday and from what I'm told we have a fun 4 full days planned.
As these days go by I'll keep you updated on the fun!
We did have one funny thing happen on our way here.
Pop met Chris and I (and the kids) somewhere passed Knoxville, TN then he drove us the rest of the way here.
While riding Isaiah said he had to go potty. We drove 2 miles to the next exit which took us directly to no where. Our best option was the side of the road.
It was a very beautiful setting. We were looking over a beautiful flowing creek with colored trees all around and a nice cool fall breeze. I guess Isaiah got nervous because he said it wasn't coming out the let us know "it's cold out here" while his pants and under-roos where around his ankles! It was quite cute!

Family Time

The Jones family took a little break for 24 hours on Thursday.
Chris left the office early and the 4 of us headed to the Holidome Holiday Inn in Lexington for some fun.
Chris swam with the kids while I enjoyed the sauna all by myself and the hot tub (fungus among us) for just a dip.
The pool was a little chilli for me, even in-doors. I'm the kind that likes to swim outside in 90 degree weather and the pool be at least 86 degrees!
After that, we headed to the mall and had some mall grub.
Isaiah played in the play area with Chris while Gracie and I went to Build A Bear. This was her second time doing this and loved it.
She was 3 last time she did it and she enjoyed it and appreciated it more this time. She also won't put her new bear, Gabriella down. She named her that from one of the kids on High School Musical. The bear is wearing a HSM shirt as well!
After a night in the hotel we went to Hamburg and enjoyed some time at Old Navy and Target and had a good meal at Logan's Roadhouse.
I rounded off our time with a much needed pedicure today at the salon. Boy, my toes where hurtin' for it! It was a great hour of pampering!!
