temporary splint until we could get to the orthopedist
Fallie got the okay to stop wearing the fracture boot yesterday. Her foot stopped hurting almost a week ago so it seems to be healed (doctor confirmed with x-rays and examination of course). Whether it was broken or sprained*, she didn’t slow down while wearing the splint or the boot and I cringed every time she skipped or jumped on her injured foot (which was quite often).
*You would think that a fracture would be easy to diagnose but we have learned after 10 broken bones (and two sprains) that they are not always easy to see on x-rays.
weird carrots
I don’t know why we have been getting so many strange carrots lately. Finn thinks it is funny and weird so she also takes photos of them.
house centipede
The girls saw this little fellow when they went upstairs to get ready for bed last night. Fallie was super excited (there aren’t many active insects in the winter). She caught him and we will let him go today. House centipedes look creepy but they eat several bugs that most people don’t want inside their homes.

This is probably the only cover that I like. Someone I know said it is better than the original and I don’t know if I would go that far but I do really like this version.

the warmest spot in the house
Gopher Guts is holding her “hurt paw” in the position she uses to get sympathy. It doesn’t work on me or Mumblelard but the girl children buy it every time. I think she looks moronic doing that and I always laugh at her. Sometimes she does this when she gets in trouble and clearly is not in pain. Oh yeah - Fallie likes to warm up by this heat vent and pretend she is also a cat.

Fallie decorated the toothpick canister
She only put one sticker on it and I never saw her do this. I got to discover this when I got the toothpicks out to test some banana bread we baked. It made me happy.
Thanks for posting this - I love it!

what Fallie and I made after school
She asked me to help her make an apron and I had the time that day. She absolutely loves this apron. The pocket is just the right size for Muffin Mouth and it is for crafting. Fallie almost wore it to bed that night and she put it on first thing in the morning and almost wore it to school. It would have been fine with me if she wore it either of those times but she gets embarrassed sometimes. It made me laugh that she loves it so much that she doesn’t want to ever take it off.
