Stitches...

Ben was playing football at school today and, as he tells it, he was trying to catch the ball, someone landed on him, and his face smashed into the floor. Consequently, his glasses smashed into his face and left him with a pretty deep cut above his eye! The school nurse was concerned because she was having a hard time stopping the bleeding and figured he was going to need some stitches. So, I left work, picked up Ben, and we headed to the doctor where Ben did indeed need two stitches to close the cut! He did a great job, but he was pretty nervous! Never a dull moment around here....

Nothing like getting out of the shower and finding this in your bed! I love Saturday mornings!

Snow Day!

We had a good old fashioned snow day today! Actually, it was the cold temperatures that canceled school, so we stayed in, made macaroni and cheese for lunch, and the boys enjoyed video games and movies!
