Rounding out our bad luck... we hope!

Our car is now fixed and working like it did before and that is wonderful, it was a long 2 weeks in a small car with all 3 kids in the back seat together.

They say things happen in 3's, well we are hoping so. We went to mow the lawn last week and our riding mower is now dead. We think it is the engine and will be more to fix than it is worth. So we are now back to the push mower and a 3 hour job to get it done.

3 day's later John put the Kids to bed but were much too excited to sleep because we were going to Six Flags the next morning. Aaron climbed up in the bunk bed with Katie and somehow ended up falling out while they were playing landing on his left shoulder.

That night after calming down he fell right to sleep, but in the morning he couldn't get up out of bed. Later that day we ended up at the ER with a fractured collar bone. He now has to take it easy and wear a sling around his shoulders (which we call a cape so he would put it on) for 6 to 8 weeks. He is a very tough guy and has not complained much since. We had to change our plans a little for the week to make sure Aaron was not doing anything that would need both his arms so no Six Flags. We had a fun week and Aaron is doing better every day. So with these 2 things happening we are now at 3 bad things too happen in only a few weeks. We are now waiting for our luck to turn around and maybe we will start to see a change.

That is a lot of bad luck! I agree that putting three kids in the back of a car is not easy! I hope your luck improves (and that you sell your house soon so you won't have to mow for three hours much longer). -Jen
