A Head-Splitting Experience



Because of the cold front that came through on Friday, we moved our BBQ over to Jenny & Terin's house, because they have more room inside for the kids to play and it was too cold for them to go swimming at our house. It was me, Brian, Konnor, Jenny, Terin, and their 2 boys Tyler and Dillon, Jenny's mom and dad, her sister Amy and her little boy Tanner, and then Ted (who is Konnor, Tyler & Fabian's football coach), his wife Lisa, and their 4 children Jose, Fabian, Natasha, and Adriana. During the afternoon the kids were playing next door on a dirt pile when one of Ted and Lisa's little girls told me that Konnor was bleeding on his head. Konnor was still playing on the dirt pile. I asked him to come down so I could see his head, and sure enough he was bleeding pretty badly from about an inch and a half cut on his head. I asked what happened and the story we got was that he slid down on the dirt pile and a rock came behind him and hit his head. I was thinking he would need stitches, but who wants to sit in the ER on a Saturday night when you know you will sit there for like 8 hours before they see you??? So anyway, thank goodness Jenny is an RN! Her and Terin, who is also in the medical field, cleaned Konnor right up and put some stuff on his head to seal him back up. He is as good as new! So the evening went on without incident, and the kids made s'mores over the fire pit then they turned Terin and Jenny's house into a war zone with their play guns and swords. Ah, to be a kid again! Thanks, Jenny & Terin, for moving the BBQ to your house!!!!!!! We had a great time!!!! And thanks for helping Konnor!!!!! :-)

I am learning pretty fast that boys get hurt but they just keep on going. Mason is getting pretty tough... I liked it better when he needed me to kiss his booboo's.
