Thursday, we got Hannah's tadpoles for her frog-growing kit in the mail. I had them on the counter and the tank all ready for her to dump 'em in when she got home from school. She loves them. She named them Tom and Huck! How funny is that? Don't ask me which is which, but believe me, she knows!
So yesterday we all got a wild hair for another betta fish. It's been nearly 3 years since we've had one. So we all piled into the Suburban and headed to Petsmart. The girls picked him out. They paid for the fish and his food out of their own allowance! I bought a cool new bamboo plant too! His name is Azul! 
Oh, but the excitement of the day was far from over! Keven and I were so excited to go on a date! It's been about three months since we've done anything together just the two of us. He got home early and hung out with us for awhile. We had a sitter set up to come at 6:00, dinner reservations to a place we've been trying to go to for almost a year now, and the world was our ocean after that! Then 5:00pm hit... LITERALLY! I was on the phone with my cousin Tracy and heard a big BOOM! I knew instantly that sound of a kid's head hitting something quite solid! Then I heard Hannah: "Mommy, oh Mommy! Tyler's gushing blood EVERYWHERE! Oh no!". I quickly hung up the phone... then Keven rushed to the rescue. Thank you Lord that he was home! I just asked if he needed me and if not I would be in another room ready to help when needed. I don't know about you mommies, but I would rather just stay out of it when it's one of my kids! It hurts me too much. Now, if Keven hadn't been home, mommy-mode would've given way to necessity. He said: "He's gonna need stitches." So, I gathered the girls while he doctored Tyler for the trip and off we went to the ER! He was such a trooper! Never cried again after it happened until they started messin' with him! The little stink had to have 5 stitches! Good thing girls dig scars!We ended up going out to eat as a family and being total giggle boxes! Seems God had better plans for us last night!
Here he is right after we got home from the ER and dinner! How cute is he?
And this morning! You'd never even know he had an owie!
Now you know why I titled the blog the way I did!

Glad he is doing better! Isn't it funny how God changes our plans?
