Luke is the proud owner of four stitches!

I have always know that I don't do well in emergency rooms. Today was no different. I was the one with the note from Sara saying that I had her permission to take Luke to the doctor so after we had the bleeding under control some and we could see that he probably needed a couple stitches, I took him to the neighborhood InstaCare. I should have had Rod come with me. Luke didn't shed one tear, but you know who did!

Luke was standing too close to his friend Kai when Kai decided to take a swing at a Tball standard. I don't think Luke will do that again! The whack! was really loud and when I turned to see what had happened, Luke was already running to me with blood running down his face. It split his eyebrow open enough for four stitches. The only time he made any fuss was when they put the needle right into his cut to deaden it. During the acutally sewing he never made a sound. I on the other hand, had to use two kleenex!

The nurses put this guaze on his cut with some kind of numbing stuff. Luke could see it out of the corner of his eye and didn't know what it was. He giggled and thought it felt funny. I had to take a picture so he could see what was on his head.

When Sara got home to admire his stitches, she called them "manly" stitches and Luke nodded and said yup.. they're blue!

Slip and Slide

I think I remember when "slip and slides" first came out. But then, I remember when "plastic" was new! The neighbor kids had lots of fun today, especially when we put the slip and slide under the slide and put the hose on the slide. It was great! We have been trying to get our back neighbor, Kevin to come out to play for about a year and today he just couldn't resist the fun.

Jumpin Jacks!

Nine Mario's descended on the local "Jumpin Jacks" for a birthday party for Luke. All of these guys live with 100 yards or so from Sara's house except his cousin, Tyson.
