We're Takin' It Easy

We're all takin' it easy over here at the Walcott home.  Brighton injured his foot last week jumping off a table - nice.  We watched him with an awful limp for nearly 24 hours, and then we determined we should probably bring him in.  Poor little guy has a pretty bad sprang (thankfully not broken!), and he has been limping something fierce for several days now.  Doctor's orders were to not run or jump for a week.  Umm...have they met my son or I'm guessing any average three year old?  I think it is slowly getting better, and he has been a trooper through the whole thing.

This mama is takin' it easy too.  I had some pregnancy complications a few weeks ago, so I have been instructed to stay home from school and take it easy.  Even though I'm missing my life at school, I'm obviously following doctor's orders. Not exactly how I was thinking this would all work out, but I'm very thankful it's not worse because it very much could be. 

We're all doing fine, we're just not the wicked busy Walcotts you have come to know.  

Make sure you find some time to do some takin' it easy this holiday week.  It really does make you thankful for a brand new set of life's experiences.

Pumpkins Please?

Brighton wasn't really into Halloween decorating this year.  He did paint a pumpkin at school that he was very proud of, but then it rained outside and his pumpkin masterpiece did a disappearing act. 

Jon and I carved the pumpkins and decorated the haunted house while Brighton ate Cheetos.  Hopefully he'll be more into Trick or Treating.
