Well, we went to Mt. St. Helen's. Of course any hill/mountain/high ground is now Mt. St. Helen's. She'll figure it out eventually. :) Katelyn has informed her mom that she now wants to become a Volcanologist (sp?) rather than a Paleontologist. And yes, she used those exact words. Dee just laughed and said that she's only 4 and has a lot of time to decide. Then I headed down and spent the night with the girls. Today we went to Salem to see Jeremy's sister. She's half way done with her chemo treatments and is doing pretty well. Hopefully after her 8th one, her cancer will be in remission. Our family, as well as hers, just keep praying that things will be okay. While at the house, Ben (the girls 10 year old cousin) told the girls not to get on the treadmill. Well, Katelyn decided that putting ONE foot on it would be okay. Ben and Aaron didn't realize she had done that and started the machine. Well, of course her foot goes flying off and a big top layer of skin was scraped off. We were upstairs and just heard her start screaming and Dee was first to see the nice injury. Katelyn's just lucky that it didn't get any deeper otherwise it might have torn some tendons or broken her foot. Still, of course when I saw her in so much pain and saw her foot, I felt bad for her and wanted to cry right there with her. Instead I preoccupied myself by taking care of Mia so she didn't get all worried and bent out of shape by it. It turned out fine luckily and her foot will be a little sore for awhile. I then had to say goodbye to my girls for more than just a week tonight. I hate saying goodbye to those munchkins. Especially after spending so much of the summer with them! I guess it's back to seeing them every couple months! I head out Tuesday for good ol' Ellensburg. I'll get to go into my classroom and talk with my teacher and help set some things up on Weds. morning/afternoon. Hopefully this quarter goes well! That's all I have for now! Until next time!! :)
Oh yeah! And what's with Team USA for men's basketball Parker?! They suck! I have NO idea how this game turned out today cause they were so bad and down 20 pts. most of the game! They really need to just let go of their egos and play as a team cause right now I don't even have a desire to watch them play and I'll just cheer for the other team!
