May Day May Day

This month has been chalk full of injury and sickness. The two highlights were curtousy of Sadie and Gage. Sadie just couldnt help herself and touched Justins motorcycle when it was still hot and gave herself second degree burns. The boys have been burned before but not to where it blistered. We thought for sure that we were in for a long night but Jolene gave us an idea to use apple cider vinegar. As weird as it sounds it worked! Plus it has a lot of other uses. Google it!


We had to wrap her hand up once the blister popped so it wouldnt get infected. She was cute as a little cripple...a loli-pop made it all better=)

Gage took the cake with his episode. He jumped off the swing at school on tuesday and landed wrong on his elbow. He got up, dusted off and went on playing. The teacher watching the swings didnt feel the need or see it necessary to send him to the school nurse nor did she feel it was necessary to send me home a note telling me what happened. Much like the black eye incident (which by the way I have his school picture which shows his eye that I will upload later), Gage came home talking about getting hurt at school but there was no explanation from the teacher as to what had happened. I didnt see anything wrong with his elbow and he complained a little bit but I decided to send him to school the next day with a note explaining what had happened and that if he was hurting to call me and I would come pick him up. The nurse called me at 8:30 saying that he was hurting and that his elbow was clearly swollen. When I got to the school, the teacher was filling out an accident report and the principal was there as well. It seems like this school has already dropped the ball too many times with Gage. If this continues I will try to switch schools. Poor Gage, we went to the specialist today and he fractured his arm so they put him in a full arm cast. He was really wanting a cast but by the time tubby time and bedtime rolled around he was so sick of it! Only 3 weeks 6 days to go til he gets to take it off! I told him to look pitiful in the picture...How'd he do?
