The Theory:
I think summer may just be peeking its head around the corner.
The Evidence:
Blossoms
Daffodils
Flip Flops
Swings
Casts
The swing deposited Erik onto the grass without warning. His wrist took the brunt of the fall. And, after two days of convincing his foolish parents that there really was something wrong with his arm, Rusty Dodge (remember him?) “branded” him with a broken wrist. And he’s been collecting signatures ever since. Like the hot pink? All his friends seem to. His popularity has skyrocketed. And his big brother is a tad jealous since he was willing to go to great lengths himself to acquire his own cast.
(I know it looks like Erik runs with a tough crowd judging by this black eyed, pig-tailed cutie. But she’s just a victim of her own poorly timed knee on an impressively bouncy trampoline.)
While it’s not our first broken bone, it is our first experience being casted.
I love that he got a pink cast! Good for him!
And the only body part I have ever broken was my wrist. While mowing the lawn.
You’re kids are sooo cute! I’ve never seen anyone look so proud of his cast and you’re daughter looks like she can hold her own with her brothers!
You have to love a boy who willingly chooses pink for his cast!! The girls are going to LOVE him…mark my words!
GREAT POST … pictures and pink cast!
Hope that wrist heals quickly and doesn’t get too stinky 😉
He looks soo proud! And with his newly founded popularity he just might be more daring in the future! Watch out. Love you.
I hope is was a simple break and he is out of the cast qiuckly to enjoy the beautiful weather. He does look pretty proud!;-)
Loving the pink cast. The girls are going to be all over him.
Yay for finding an older boy with HLHS….. I am so happy to be able to ask a mommy with the same thing as my little guy, questions. I hope you don’t mind that I start following your family… Gator just turned two and now we start to think Fontan and pre-school, what do you say. I am the super planner. If we do get to do the Fontan (not a candidate right now) then it will pull him out of school, if no then he may not get the oppertunity to try it… What did you do? Silly things I only wish I didn’t think about…
Great pictures!! Especially that last one! 🙂 I love your blog!
Seriously… Now that the sun is starting to come out I’ve gone through two boxes of bandaids and have to now sew 2 pairs of ripped jeans. Plenty of skinned knees and elbows around here… luckily no cast yet.
