Yes, we have boys

 What would a house full of boys be if we didn't have the occasional injury or accident???

Here we have Tommy... He was jumping on the tramp with James and, well.... Tommy's eye, and James' chin... are you getting the picture? Tommy was pretty brave and didn't cry until he saw the blood. Tommy did a good job holding the rag on his eye and was pretty calm with it all. There was no way Tommy was going to let them put stitches in, needles and all. So they just super glued his cut shut and sent him home.

He liked having a war wound, and what is a boy with out at least one scar on his face right?

The trip to the ER wouldn't have so bad if it wasn't followed by Tim burning his chin. He wanted to see what I was cooking and tip-toed up and got a bit to close. He ended up with a nice size burn on his chin that blistered.

Good thing dad was here to save the day. I don't do well with injuries. After the husband took Tommy to the hospital I had all the children come in and sit quietly.....

that lasted all of 3 minutes. We do have boys you know.

What a day!

The boys have been enjoying there safety scissors. Making a HUGE mess and then cleaning it all up. Well then Tommy got the bright idea that he was going to give James a hair cut. I yell his name stating that we don't' cut our brothers' hair. Next I caught him trying to cut his own hair. "Tommy don't cut your hair either!!" Well, silly me I never told him that we shouldn't cut the dog's hair. So Captain got a hair cut. Fortunately for him he is fluffy enough that you can't tell, but boy there was a pile of hair on the floor.

Later that day Tommy was twirling. He was making himself dizzy, and thought he would try running after he was dizzy. Well apparently the treadmill took this as a challenge and stood his ground. Now just so you all know, the treadmill is in the corner tucked out of the way so people don't get hurt walking by. Poor Tommy ran right into the treadmill and lost....badly.
So no sooner than his face starts healing from the fall on the swings, he smashes his mouth. We couldn't tell when it happen but since the swelling has gone down a bit his tooth was pushed back a little so we are off to the dentist. You know with blogging I think it's kinda funny how I view things. If the situation does not involve a trip to the hospital, I want to take a picture of it. Is that sad?

I had a girlfriend notice that none of the boys were bruise or bloody or scraped a little while back and all I could say was "oh, give it a day or two" and sure enough... we have injuries. Fortunately for us it's never been anything serious.

Ok, so here is an update after we went to the dentist. Tommy will have to have his top two teeth pulled next year. Or sooner if there is pain or swelling or they get loose. So my 4 year old will be toothless until his big ones come in. Go Tommy!

And the scissors thing... I guess I should have checked James' hair before I posted. I ws straighting his hair today and this is what I saw. Again.... Go Tommy!
