The Results of Tax Free Weekend

So Friday I blogged that I was going out and do a little shopping during Tax Free Weekend.

We had a successful trip and found shoes for Gabi and Vivianna. Ysabella we are still looking for, she has a pair of mine that she fits into (10 1/2 and she wears a 7 1/2 in womens!) The crowds were not out yet!!

So we get the girls shoes and I go into work and Pete picks them up and when he gets home Gabi show him her new shoes. Pete realizes as she is starting to try them on for him that we came home with 2 right feet! He calls me while I am still at work and informs me. I think "GREAT, I am going to have to return them tomorrow when the crowds are out in full force!"

I get up this morning(Saturday) and Gabi and I go and exchange one of the right foot for a left foot! We get there and they have the left foot and we are now set for Monday!

We were very lucky and missed the crowds both days!!

Hope everybody has a great First Day of School!!

Tax Free Weekend!!

I am going to venture out today and try to finish up the School Supplies and see about getting shoes for the girl!!

I will let you know of what I find!!

Wishing for Cooler Weather!!

I changed my background to Fall/Pumpkin's because I am hoping and praying for cooler weather!! With school starting on Monday I would like for the temperatures to drop 10, 15, 20 degrees cooler!

I remember when school started after a couple of weeks you had to start wearing jean jackets or sweaters in the morning and evenings but during the day it was perfect, not too hot, not too cold! And the Great State Fair of Texas is coming in September!!

OH how I LOVE the fall!!

See y'all around!!

Little Miss Gabi!!

So two (2) weeks ago Little Miss Gabi shut the car door on her thumb while we were at Sonic waiting for our order to be delivered! I thought that it was bruised and a small cut was all that she had done to it! But oh no the crying and pain that she looked like she was in told me maybe not, I have never had a broken bone before (knock on wood!) so I thought I should have Pete look at it! Luckily he was already on his way home!!! Thank Goodness!!! I was heading into work when we stopped at Sonic(needed some happy hour drinks to keep us cool from the crazy Texas heat!). So I went into work and had 2 other employees look at it to see if it was broken! They both told me they were pretty sure it was! So Pete came and got her and took her to Las Colinas Medical Center ER, while Ysabella and Vivianna stayed with me at work!! This is what it looked like when she got to the ER with Pete!!

An hour later Gabi walks back into Kiddin' Around with a splint on her thumb and telling everyone she has a "fractured thumb" in a very grown up voice! Since this happened Friday late afternoon we had to wait to see the Orthopedic Dr.!!! She kept asking the whole weekend "Am I getting my cast on Monday!?" Yes Gabi you will get it on Monday!

Monday morning comes and we call the orthopedic that the ER gave us and they can't fit her until Tuesday! She is so not having that, so I call Children's Orthopedic Clinic in Dallas and they can get her in at 1:15 pm and the hand specialist are only there on Mondays.....so I take the appointment and we get ready and head to Dallas!

When we get there they get us checked in very quickly and Gabi is getting anxious. They take the splint off and get her into x-rays(again) and the Dr. doesn't keep us waiting too long and they come in and says that she will get a cast on and will keep it on for 4 weeks!

We wait a few more minutes and the cast man calls her back and she picks out a purple one and the get started. With in 15 minutes we are walking out and headed to Gran's house(Gabi was

suppose to go on Sunday for a few days). She was very please and couldn't wait for people to sign it!!

Here are a few pics from the cast being put on and afterwards!! Enjoy!!

P.S. It really hurts when she swings her arm around and hits you (either on accident or on purpose!)!!
