It’s been a hectic week in the Donoghue house! I think we had dinner as a family one night
out of five, and that is just sad!
Waffles-on-the-stairs kind of morning
Jamie had his annual horror film festival at the Main Art
Theater, and his students did a great job!
Every year the quality of work gets better, and I can tell that the
students really enjoy it. He actually
had to rent a larger theater because so many people bought tickets! Proud of my hubby!
Kind of a big deal
Film class
Jamie’s parents stayed with the girls so that I could go see
all the movies, and the girls were really excited to see them! Evie was over-the-moon to see Grandma, and
wouldn’t leave her side! Grandma’s arm
is starting to heal, but I have to keep reminding the girls to be extra gentle
around her.
I’m working some flex-time at work so that I can stay home
on Thursdays for a little while. I took
the girls to the cider mill with one of my co-workers in the morning… it was a
pretty terrible idea since it was cold, rainy, and everything was wet. The petting zoo was pretty awesome though!
Those are some ominous looking skies...
Nothing says fall like.. winter coats?
Baby chicks - Evie totally flipped out for these cuties
Evie had no fear of the animals, happily petting them and getting licked... Maggie was pretty happy to watch from a distance.
Maggie bumped her finger while running around earlier in the
week, and it was swollen and a little bruised.
It just seemed jammed, but after two days it was looking worse to
me. I took her to the pediatrician, who
sent us to the hospital to get xrays, and Maggie ended up having a fracture. Today Jamie took Maggie to get checked
out by a hand specialist. The doctor
gave her three HUGE shots that set her into a complete panic. After the numbing, he did some sort of voodoo
finger manipulation to straighten it out.
She’s was a total trooper, but was pretty freaked out. We’ll go back in two weeks to make sure
everything looks okay.
Doctor visit #1
Her middle-left finger... she has given me "the finger" many times this week trying to show me her boo boo
Waiting for x-rays
"Take a picture of me relaxing, Mama"
Tough girls get to have pancakes with Daddy for lunch
Evie likes to fly down the stairs now (as long as it’s her
idea):
Maggie had her last soccer practice last weekend. She still doesn’t seem very interested in the
sport, and asked about three times if it was over yet… so maybe soccer isn’t
her thing! This video displays her level
of motivation:
Side note - she actually got really involved once we took her hat and
mittens off, even had a couple break-aways!
