Ouch!

So here's Emily's stitches. Gross, yeah, but what do you expect with my blog? On Friday, while I was gone to an Army exercise, Emily went and asked Suzette for an apple. Suzy said she could have a half of one, in a minute. So Em took matters in her own hands, grabbed the longest knife that we have, and cut the apple....and her finger. Our friends out in Eagle Mountain, the Youngs, took Suzy and the rest of the family to the doctors office to get stitched up. Suzy also thought that I had taken her wallet, which was at home, but Donna, our friend paid for us so we could get a discount on the procedure. Wow. It's times like these that you really come to appreciate your friends. On a side note, the doctor was awesome and explained everything to Emily. When he gave her the shot he told her that her finger would go to sleep and then later asked if it was snoring. Cool huh?

Time flies...

So the other day, Miranda had a terrible fit. She completely melted down into a screaming unconsolable child. She gets that from her dad. I had gotten a little extra from my blood account so I told Suzette that I thought that we needed to spend some extra time with her that night. Miranda had been rewarded, during school, with a free dinner from her favorite dining spot, Applebee's, so that was the decided venue. Suzy decided and made a point that someone had to watch the other two, so that should be me to avoid unnecessary expenses and for me to get to know them some more.:) So they went to the restaurant and my little six year old princess refused, even at the insistance of the waiter, to use the crayons. She said, "I'm not interested in that." Wow. I have, several times, forbad her to grow up. She just laughs and says, "Daddy, I have to grow up!" Yeah, she does.
