Another ER visit

This time it was for Zachary. He and Alex were "fighting" with their big Incredible Hulk hands and Zachary got knocked down right into the dreaded coffee table (we really should get rid of that thing now that it's sent two kids to the ER!). He hit the back of his head, possibly on a knob for a drawer or maybe just the corner but boy did it bleed! I threw on some clothes (I was still in pj's) and scooped him up to go to the emergency room. One of my sisters and her two teenage boys were here along with one teenage girlfriend so they stayed home with Alex. We had just taken the carseats out of the car because the big kids and Chris were going to go tubing on the river and needed the room. Chris just held Zachary in his lap buckled in the seatbelt together and applied pressure to the back of his head. The bleeding didn't last too long but we thought it would need stitches. Nearly three hours later we made it home with one staple in the back of Zachary's head. He did really well and didn't seem to be in much pain after the initial incident. He was happy and sang songs at the doctor. Of course we can't take him to the pool this afternoon as planed but we'll try to find something else fun for the little boys to do.

We'll go back to his regular doctor in 5-7 days to have the staple removed.

This is a cute fireworks craft that the boys and I did a few days ago. It's made out of pipe cleaners cut in half with the tips dipped in glue and then glitter.

Happy 4th of July!
