Toys, vampires, dead batteries and surgery....OH MY!

This past Friday I saw that Toy Story 3 and Eclipse were at the Drive-in. I had wanted to see Toy Story (and Eclipse again, of course), and my kids had really wanted to see Eclipse. We got a group of us together, and set out to have a good time. During Toy Story I kept telling Anth he should turn on the car to make sure the battery didn't die, and he kept putting it off and saying it'd be fine he'd do it in a minute. Well a minute went by and the movie got over, and our battery was dead. Huh, maybe he should have listened to me! The drive-in has a battery charger, because things like that happen all the time. Unfortuantely, our battery was so drained that there was nothing to charge. We decided to watch Eclipse and my cousin's husband towed us home afterwards. I had to borrow my other cousin's husband's car to be able to make it to cheer the next day, so by the time we picked that up and got home I didn't get to bed until 3:30 and had to be up at 7:00. The next day after cheer Anth went with my mom and $105 later our car was back up and running. It could have been worse, but I still wasn't thrilled to have to deal with all of that. We got things done just in time to get ready and head up to Ogden to have a family BBQ up there.

Sunday night we dropped the kids off at my parents house, because Anth had to be in Salt Lake for his 2nd surgery by 7 in the morning and it was easier for them to sleepover than it was to drag them out that early. We headed in, they took him back and I got to hang out in a little private room with a couch and a tv while he was in surgery. It only lasted maybe a half and hour. All they had to do was remove the pins. He is in a soft cast until his follow-up appointment on the 19th. After that they want him to start using the arm. He is excited! I am nervous lol I just don't want to have something happen to it after it's been braced all this time and have it hurt again. He is breakable to me now, if that even makes any sense. The day after he gets his cast off we go on vacation to Starvation for the weekend, and I can't wait for that! We have a fun group going, and who doesn't love camping out, laying by the beach and playing in the water all day!!!
