M+M Daily Favs: February 2011

Wednesday, February 2nd
MN: school, except for the beginning part when i fell on my chin
MR: specials (pe)

Poor MN! She was wriggling out of her jacket this morning and before i knew it, she was on the floor!! She whacked her chin hard enough to cut it, but no major blood or damage. Thanks to Mrs. W (the school nurse) for the band aid and smile!


Thursday, February 3rd
MN: gymnastics class
MR: playing with M

MN is in gymnastic class with her friend A, so while the "big sisters" are in class, MR plays with M. She has such a great time playing with her Little Sister Friend! :)


Friday, February 4th
MN+MR: playdate and dinner at the M's

Thanks, M Family, for a fun night! Your home is amazing!! (They live in an old castle!)


Saturday, February 5th
MN+MR: selling cookies

A rite of passage... the selling of Girl Scout cookies! M&M are in the first year of Daisies. They had a blast asking the patron of the Patch Commissary to but cookies (what little we had left... this was the second weekend of selling, and they went fast!)


Sunday, February 6th
MN+MR: playing with J, going to the playground, riding bikes

Although J lives upstairs, we don't get to play with him often enough! He and MN are in class together, but our off school time schedules never seems to match up quite right. This morning we played outside on bikes and did chalks for almost 2 hours!


Monday, February 7th
MN+MR: going to the zoo

Today was a day off school, so we went to the dentist and the zoo to check out our favorite animals!

Tuesday, February 8th
MN: playing with JF
MR: being at home with my family

Okay... So tonight i freaked out a little bit... Did you read last Wednesday's fav from MN? Well, she has this strange lump under her chin that i did not see or feel until tonight. As Bill is away, i ran upstairs to my neighbor to have her take a look. Her assessment was check with the school nurse or doctor. I agree, but i really wanted her to tell me that her son had the same thing and he was fine... That's all i want... Someone who has had the same exact experiences to tell me that it all works out ok!


Wednesday, February 9th
MN+MR: being with my mom and sissie

Well, a quick trip to the nurse, turned into a trip to the doctor. It turns out MN has a little hematoma under her chin... It feels like she has a tiny pebble in there! It should go away on it's own; but, if it doesn't, it will need to be extracted... ugh!
