She's a Freak of Nature but we Love Her So!

What are the chances that I, little ol' Nanci, would have 2 freak accidents within a years time? Probably not great you'd probably say. Well, I've got news for you.

I worked an extremely long night shift Wednesday night and was excited to get some sleep while my kids went to JoRae's house for a few hours. I tucked myself into bed around 9 am only to wake up to myself falling down in severe pain at 11:15 am. Yes, I was sleepwalking. I never knew I did this, maybe it was the first time. What I did know was that my foot hurt...BAD! I lied on the ground and bawled like a little baby for a few minutes, then talked myself into getting back into bed and going back to sleep. I lay there thinking, there's just NO WAY I broke my other foot. NO WAY! But the pain was severe (and I hadn't stopped crying) so I looked down at it and saw something like this:

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Damn girl, you need a pedicure!" But that's besides the point...
I picked up the phone and called my trusty friend JoRae to take me to instacare. I couldn't bring myself to call Jason for fear of what he would do (my broken foot last fall nearly put us both over the edge). She arranged for a babysitter for our kids and took me to instacare. We couldn't stop laughing about how this dang injury had happened. Then I got the coocoo-iest doctor they could find (at one point JoRae pretended to read a funny text b/c she couldn't hold the laughter in any longer). Come to find out it isn't broken (phew) but sprained. Dr's orders: R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, elevate) - and don't forget the "R" - he reminded me about 10 times!

It looks ugly and it hurts, but THANK GOODNESS it isn't broken!

Punkins o' Plenty

We decided to harvest our pumpkins last Saturday. The kids were so excited to finally be able to pick them. We gave one to my mom and one to Kate. After we pick out our favorites we are going to have a pumpkin stand and sell the rest. It should be tons of fun for the kids!

I'm scared of this man!Oh yeah, I got in on the action too!Cole was not so impressed with any of itAll in all, we had around 40 pumpkins! Crazy!
