Girls Camp

Savanna and Hallie survived girls camp.  Sounds like they had a great time.  A few things Hallie told me : 
We had the most people and the smallest tent. 
I was cold the first night but hot the rest.
My favorite part was the secret sisters gift.  I got like 5 things a day. 
I had to use my bucket to sit on because I forgot my camp chair in the car. 
Me and Savanna were the only ones not crying during the testimony part.  We are Berlinguet tuff - she gets that from her father.
Savanna shared her testimony.
I got my fingers burned a few times trying to start the fire.
Our hike was only suppose to be 5 miles but it was more like 9 miles. 
I had a headache one evening from the hike. 
We all had meal duties.
Food was good.
I am tired.
I got a sunburn on my head.
We  had fun playing pranks on each other.
I had to help sort out the drama the first night with the silly string prank. 

Savanna's comments:

It was good. 
I didn't sleep in my assigned tent.


Do you think these girls are complete opposite or what?  I am sure they will both have more to share about it.  Savanna was upset at me tonight because I wouldn't let her stay the night at her friends house.  Even though we have made the no sleepover rule for quite some time now, they still have to ask and we still have the same argument.  Except tonight she used the "Why do you hate me" line.  That one just made me laugh.  I hope some day she will understand that it is because I love her. 
Anyways, a big thank you to all the people that helped put camp together.  It is a lot of work but it really does create some wonderful memories and friendships in these kids. 

Two front teeth

Yesterday Aleena came running downstairs crying "my tooth fell out". She had a bit of panic in her voice so at first I thought maybe she knocked one of her grown up teeth out but it was a baby one. She just hadn't bothered it and didn't realize how ready it was to come out. Cute little thing.

On the Road again.

We headed out to Salt Lake again this morning.  Kell came with me again.  It is nice to have some company and someone to help out.  Livee loves her Aunties.  She wanted Kell to carry her most of the time.  Livee wore her grumpy pants in to the Dr office today.  The PT wanted her to walk and she flat out refused.  The nice lady even put cute fish stickers on the floor so that she could step on them.  "No!".  I had to pretty much pull her to walk.  She was not happy.  I couldn't really get mad at her because I think she is just tired of everything being about her foot, well except for all the goodies and packages she has been getting.  They said her foot is doing great.  She has one little strip on the outside of her foot that needs a bit of ointment and the non-sticky bandage for a few more days but the rest is fine.  She only has to wear a compression sock now.  It keeps her skin real tight and snug to help prevent big scarring.  We are to rub lotion on it every day and keep it nice and soft.  She can start wearing a shoe if it doesn't rub on her anywhere.  We go back in 3 weeks which should be our last appointment unless there is ugly scarring but she didn't think that would be a problem.  And she just washes it with her regular bath schedule. 

Her foot seemed really skinny with just that sock on.  I am sure it felt weird for her too.  She was not about to walk on it, so we shoe shopping in hopes to find a flip flop so that she could at least attempt to walk.  The skin inbetween her flip flop toes is fine down below where the shoe would fit, but her actual foot was to swollen and it was too tight where the straps go.  We did finally find the magic shoe.  It fit perfect.  It is soft, they fit, she wanted them.  We pay and get her to the car.  She wants to put them on.  Our next stop is lunch.  Livee was actually willing to try walking now that she had a shoe on.  Kell and I each got a hand and helped her walk.  She took right off like it was nothing.  Her leg is a bit wobbly and she almost hyper extends her knee back but that will come over time.  She walked into lunch, and out of lunch and in the next store.  She was hopping and trying to go on her tipee toes.  I think Kell and I were more nervous of her hurting herself than she was.  She finally started to complain a bit about it bothering her after being in the store for a bit.  Her shoe was rubbing just the tiniest bit.  Her skin is so super sensitive right now.  Over time it will get better.  No swimming yet, but hopefully in a couple weeks she will be ready.  She has to be very careful with it in the sun.  Lots and lots of sunblock. 

Back to lunch.  Kell and I stopped and ate at Zupas today.  It was the yummiest place.  We had a salad with berries and a panini sandwhich and they have a soda bar.  Everyone gets a chocolate dipped strawberry with their meal.  I know where I will be eating in 3 weeks when I return.  It is off the Lagoon exit on the west side of the freeway in that new Outlet shopping center.  Thanks Kell for going with me.

Last night she actually took a regular bath with her bandage off.

Here are her magic shoes and her sock. 

Here is how it fits on her toes.

They don't bring all their projects home.  She talked about a plate that they worked on that had sea creatures on it.  She loved it.  Livee has been moved to her class and can hopefully start going again next week.
