Harry Potter and the ER

We have had another eventful weekend. Friday Marianne came up to stay with the girls while we went to Harry Potter 7. I liked the movie it was definitely different from the book but the overall plot was the same. I did not like the unnecessary nudity they stuck in it. I think that the movie was done well considering all of the material they had to put in it. This said I think part 2 will be tons better. I was a little disappointed just because I have been so excited to see it (and finished the book again last Thursday) and it was so different from the book. And FYI don't take your baby to the movie theater. Those of us who do get a sitter and then pay an outrageous amount of money DO NOT want to hear your child cry through the movie. I say leave them at home or wait to see it on DVD! That is just so inconsiderate.- I am done ranting now.

Saturday we ended up working on Mar's case for a mock trial she is in, she is defense attorney. Then Mar ended up staying all day due to the weather and crappy roads. We got tons more snow and broke out the sleds to pull behind my snowmobile. We had fun playing outside, little did we know the fun was just beginning! As I was in my closet picking out my clothes for stake conference it happened. Me and Mar heard a big crash and went running into the living room. I found Ash on the floor screaming laying inside the art easel and Kaite trying to pull her out. Apparently she was wearing it and walking around the house and fell, they had been using it to make a tent. Anyway, as soon as I saw Ash's face I put ice on it. I can't believe how much it swelled in that short amount of time. I was really worried she broke her zygomatic bone. She looked so awful and the bone looked broken in several places. Ky got home and gave her a blessing. He then had to run into stake conference to play the piano. We had decided to take her to the ER to have it looked at when he got back. By the time he got home it was looking tons better and the swelling had gone down a bit, miracle. We got her in and the ER doc said it isn't broken but could be cracked which they don't do anything for. He also asked her about falling down alot- no. He was referring to her broken collar bone and severe concussion almost four years ago. I have to say that happened in a public place and I swear we are not beating our kids! Fortunately, Mar seems to be here every time something happens- she is my witness! I will say that Ash does look like someone clocked her, poor girl. She is doing real well, no concussion and she doesn't have hardly any pain despite what it looks like. This could have been so much worse. Here are the pics of her. This is the art easel she was walking around in---WHY I still don't know!

Her face last night, I didn't get a pic of it when it looked really bad before the blessing.

Her face today. The bruise still extends down past her cheek but isn't as black as I thought it would be.

Now she is trying to come up with a "cool" story to tell the kids at school. I think she should tell them a boy kissed her and she got cooties! Mar said she should tell them she fell off the roller coaster at Lagoon! Regardless, I am glad she is doing so well, but she looks so much worse in person.

I have decided that I need to wrap the kids in bubble wrap. Kami tried to fall down the stairs again last week but Ky caught her. Then last Sunday I caught all three of them trying to head down the stairs with a blanket over their heads! I can't figure out where they come up with these things. I remember James and George jumping on my get in shape girl mat and flying down our wooden stairs. Sometimes I can't figure how kids survive childhood!
