October Happenings

Saturday night at the ER. A night playing at friends house turns dangerous when the kids decide to go on the trampoline. Right after the boy climbed up he was bounced back down...right on his arm. Snap, crackle, pop later and he broke both bones in his left arm. Luckily it hasn't fazed him much other than being an overall annoyance and learning a hard lesson about listening to mom. On the plus side, I got to leave work after only about an hour Saturday night. Woo-hoo!

Today was Trick or Treating in our town. Girl was a witch...she designed her dress and it was made by Granny over the summer. The boy is a vampire and luckily the stunning red satin cape hides his temporary cast and sling very nicely. Before Trick or Treating commenced our neighborhood had a costume contest for the kids. The boy won first place in the Scariest Costume category. Got a nice certificate and a $10 McDonald's gift card! The kids both got a lot of loot and hope to get more tomorrow when we visit Auntie Nett's house for Trick or Treating in Mt. Prospect.

Also in picture are some of the neighbor kids from down the street.

Tomorrow morning we go to the orthopedic doc to set the boy's arm and get the official cast. He's really not looking forward to that.
