Ralphs Ruckus: Operation

Operation

Today was unseasonably warm (in the 40's), so I decided to take a break from unpacking and seize the moment and take the kids to the park. On the way out the door, Emily says, "Mom, my nose hurts." I told her that she probably just had allergies or a cold and to go find a Kleenex and blow her nose. I mean, how many complaints do I get each day that are completely uneventful, right? Well this was not an uneventful complaint. Right as we were leaving, Darin came home from work for lunch and Emily told her daddy that her nose hurt. He, being more compassionate than I, took his flashlight on his key chain and shined it up her nose. There was something neon green far up in her nose, and it was not going to come out with out help.

So, we scheduled a Dr.'s appointment, which, by the way, I love the doctors offices here. They could see us in one hour. Heather came over to take Elizabeth and Abigail to the park and off to the doctor's office, Emily and I went. After the doctor examined Emily's nose he got an instrument to pull the foreign object out and we could not believe our eyes. It was a game piece from the children's game, operation, a neon green gas bubble to be exact. Everyone in the office had a chuckle. Well, everyone but Emily and we were on our way home with a neon green slimy souvenir. Silly girl.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
