All Stitched Up?

The day started off good - we were headed down to a pumpkin farm to play with some friends. It was a little drizzly off and on, but hoped for the sun to shine. As we started to explore the farm, Kurt found some tractors and wanted to drive them. He was trying to climb up and his boot slipped from under him and down he went. Unforetunately his chin met a bit of the tractor on the way down. It wasn't very wide, but I could see the actual skin cells in the cut. So I took him up to the doctor to see if he needed stitches. We were worried it would be that way again, but THANKFULLY (again) he didn't have to do that. Kurt was very happy because he did not want to get "poked." The doctors were able to glue it shut. Did he still squirm and cry like he was dying? Yes. The kid worked the doctors so much he came home with 2 presents and a treat!

awe! cute cute boys! i love them! that's always a little nerve racking wondering if "stitches" is the only fix or not. thank goodness! foston was walking with his eyes closed through the house (smart huh?) and slammed his eye into the sharp corner of our counter top. he scrEAMED!and blood was running down his face. it was deep and could nearly talk back to me. but i immediately cleaned it up and put a bandaid on and waited for charlie to get home... it probably could have handled stitches... but now he's just left with a scar. glad kurt's ok! fos sure left the nurses talking when he got pokes... it took 3 of us to hold him down. she's like, "man! i can't believe the strength this kid has... he's by far the strongest i've ever seen." fos builds up some anger and fear momentum quite easily if he allows it. ugh! hmm... what else could i lengthen this comment with? oh, i loved the bbq pick of buns and mallows. i guess it was their turn to cook dinner? i told the boys lindsey was coming over saturday... they were SO excited and couldn't wait to play with their boy cousins, and new it would take a long time to get to our house. it was a lindsey mistake... wrong lindsey. when will you guys be coming back to WA? miss you and your little family! i need to give you a ring (a phone call... not a real one)some time soon. (HUGS)!
