general conference and afton's toe.

general conference is always a big deal at our house, unfortunately not necessarily because of the messages yet, but i imagine the kids'll grow into that ;) basically it's a favorite because we get to have "conference rolls" (aka cinnamon rolls) and we get to eat them on mom's bed. this is a HUGE deal! this is our saturday morning tradition. it was a little tricky this year because daddy/paul was out of town (in canada at a conference of a totally different sort), and malachi's old enough to need a little more attention. what that means is, we tried hard, and we look forward to reading the messages in the ensign ;-).
this year we also had the added excitement of going to grandma's house on sunday to watch on her tv, and afton managed to drop one of those hand-held sprayer-hose attachment things (you know what i mean?) on her toe... it hurt her... a lot. this is what it looked like a few days later:
 and a few weeks later:
no more toenail. she was glad by the time it started bleeding though, because it didn't hurt as much (not as much pressure), and by the time it came off completely it didnt' hurt at all anymore. now she's just a little miffed that she can't wear toenail polish until it grows back in. i think she can handle it :).

That is one terrific ouch. Hope it grows back quick. Easter egg hunts are a blast with littles. Looks like they found plenty.
