Some unexpected benefits of reconstructive foot surgery

(Aside from the obvious of having other people wait on you for a couple weeks)


Wearing sweats every day. Also, an excuse not to go out, which I love. 

Laying around allows for things like reading lots of books to your kids, colouring with them, doing homework with them and watching movies with them. Also, playing plants vs. zombies (the live version-we'll keep the details within the circle of trust)


Your kids find lots of cool ways to entertain themselves. They also discovered using the exercise mat to slide down the stairs. Hours of (loud) fun.

Getting to ride around Costco with one of these.
Afton walking around with one boot on all the time-trying to be like me! 

Yep that's right, I got me one of these. You're jealous.

  1. Haha! This was great - good for you for seeing the cup half full and for being a great mom even with only one foot. Afton is such a dolly.

  3. I adore that Afton was wearing a single boot to be just like her mama. That could be one of those pictures and stories to tell decades from now. Such a sweet little thing!
