Fun photo Friday!

Well a lot can happen in a week with 4 kids! I guess we are just going to have to get used to that fact :O)
On Wednesday morning Elle work up screaming. After about an hour and a half of inconsolable screaming I decided that we need to get her to the ER. Once we got there and into the bright lights we quickly discovered what the problem was.... she had a broken collar bone! She had fallen out of bed the night before while playing and cried for a few minutes but went to sleep shortly there after. I can't imagine falling asleep with a broken collar bone but I guess it's possible. She has told us over and over again that it happened when she fell out of bed so we don't know if it was the night before or if she fell out again. Her bed isn't terribly high but I suppose any fall could cause a break if you land just right. So she is currently having to wear a brace to keep her shoulders stabilized and has to have it on continuously for 2 weeks, then it can come off every other day for 10 minutes so she can bathe for another 2 to 3 weeks. She is doing well with it for the most part but it just breaks my heart that she is having to go through this.
Cohen is growing like crazy and starting to show his personality! We get some smiles and little giggles on occasion which is more than pleasant :O)
Payton had his last day of kindergarten yesterday.... *sob*
He is now officially a first grader and more excited than I can even tell you!
He had his first "field day" yesterday and had a blast. He was more thrilled though to have
Papa S. picking him up for school and getting to go hang out at the service station for awhile while I had Cohen at the dr.
Layla is turning in a sassy little 4 year old with the eye roll and everything... *insert mommies eye roll here* :O)
She is demanding that she bypass preschool and go straight to kindergarten next year. While she would probably do well academically I can see her new attitude getting her into a boat load of trouble! I'm hoping that all of this is just a phase because she has always been such an easy going, agreeable and sweet little girl!
She here are some photos from yesterday...

I'm hearing that the 4 year old "sass" is totally normal *Phew* I think. We have the sass and the eye roll and the huff and the hand on the hips here too. My girlfriend, who has an almost 5 year old, said that this year she saw a ton of the 4 year olds backed into corners by their moms at preschool this year, getting a talking to - the ones that generally are the "good" kids. Yah, K just thinks she should be allowed to go straight to HS!!! and was very offended that the pre-school has tables and not desks for learning at! (((hugs)))

Love the pics and it looks like you may have some models on your hands ;). They are just too cute!

Elle is a little trooper. At first when I saw her brace, I thought she had a Tshirt over her head.

As far as the sass goes. I'm not sure about girls, but my boys finally lost it when they got into school.

Yay for your Kinder graduate!!! I know how you are feeling right now. I just realized my oldest is going into 4th grade next year! I can remember when he was in preschool with all that sass! *sigh* They get so big so fast!
