Jenna had a fun party on Friday! The cake was great, although I don’t think the kids thought it was all as cute as I thought it was. We did eventually cut into the cast part and even eat the little toes. I’m glad I had a whole bunch of party games on the list, because some games, like this one, didn’t go over too well, and were over in about 30 seconds. The steal my heart game was fun, and I might just use that one for a school party.

Over the weekend, Jenna decided that she could crawl. I’d been trying to tell her that for a few days, but she was a little bit hesitant. Then on Saturday, I went into her room to see if she wanted to go downstairs, and she wasn’t there! I went down to the family room, and there she was! It’s a little bit disconcerting to have her moving around all of a sudden, though. For the last two weeks, I knew she would be where I put her. Now, she could be anywhere. She goes up and down the stair, and pretty much all over the house. Ryan was concerned that the fiberglass cast might scratch the wood floor, so we put a big tube sock over her cast to avoid scratching.

She also went to church and used the wheelchair. She made a big splash with that one. Although in our ward wheelchairs are not uncommon, as we have about 4 people who regularly use them. But they were surprised to see Jenna in one, as she’s not a regular wheelchair driver. Ryan and I taught Jenna’s primary class, and at the end of it, I let each of the kids have a wheelchair ride down to the drinking fountain and back (you got to use what you have to keep those kids quiet!).

Cole also survived his Klondike derby weekend, although he came back very thirsty (I guess drinking freezing water wasn’t his thing) and with a tiny scratchy voice. After sleeping a lot on Sunday, he’s back to his usual self, and I’m proud of him that he made it through the cold. I don’t know why I bothered sending him with 10 hand warmer packs–he forgot to use them. Silly kid.

Oh, and one more thing–the girls’ tamagotchis came on Friday, so we had a lot of happy tamagotchi owners over the weekend.

So, that’s the report. And how was your weekend?
