You'd Think You Were in Greece

 I've been busy this week getting the lobby ready for opening night of Mamma Mia tomorrow.  

Opening night of JR's last show ever.  

(Of course I'm going to be dramatic about his last dramatic performance).  

The lobby looks great, which I can totally say since I mainly stand around, hold the tape, and say if things are straight or not. 

Week 2

 So we got to see what Jason's heel looks like.

 

He got his stiches out. (The stiches are still in this picture, obviously)

And he got to pick his cast color.  He went with a tasteful blue.

We're a long way from done since the doctor said today it'll be 10 months for a "full recovery". 

Not Done Yet

 I had just thought to myself "maybe the girls are done with wrapping houses" and then we woke up to this.

At least it was a pretty pitiful job.

And also our Christmas lights are now down. 

Sports Pics

 I remembered I never posted Reed's football picture when he brought home his basketball picture. 

 So here they both are.

Speaking of basketball, they've got 3 games left and have won almost all of them this season. 

It's been fun watching Reed play in middle school, but this will definitely be his last year with school basketball. 

 He just won't be tall enough as he gets older...evidenced by this picture. 

A Week In Update

 A week ago today Jason had Achille's tendon surgery.  I guess Jason and I are trying to see who can have the most foot problems/ foot surgeries...and as much as I hate to lose anything, I'm going to give it to him, he definitely wins.

He's been in constant pain and limping for about a year.  He's been putting the surgery off because the recovery is so awful, but he finally bit the bullet and did it.

The surgery was only about 45 minutes, but when the surgeon came out he told me Jason had a "huge" bone spur.  I said, "Oh, so it was really big?" And he said, "It was huge.  It covered his entire Achille's tendon down to his ankle."  Well, that would certainly explain all his pain.

We got him home, and of course, Chloe has made it all about herself. 

But Jason is doing great.  He's not in pain, and he's back in the office looking like this.

He has to be non-weight bearing, so he'll be on his scooter for 4 weeks, and then hopefully he can go in to a boot for the 4 weeks after that.  

And Another

 Reed couldn't stand it that Kyle got a hamster, so he had to get one too. 

So now there are two hamsters in the house again.

Reed named his Stewart. 

In related news, Kyle had to go get a new "non-squeaking" wheel because his hamster runs on his wheel all night and it was keeping him awake. 

Basically, I've lost control of the house.

Bday Presents

 The boys took all of their birthday money and bough fishing "equipment".  At this point I feel like I live in a sporting goods store.

I mean, look at my kitchen table! 

And Kyle bought a new hamster he named "Hammy".  

Which is another thing in the house we totally needed.
