It's All Fun And Games Until...

If you have more than 1 child I'm sure you can provide a variety of answers to this

....someone gets hurt

...someone cries, ect

or in our case the other day ...someone gets poked in the foot with a mechanical pencil!

The boys were wrestling around the other day before school and I hollered down from upstairs (I was doing Bea's hair) for them to simmer down.  They had cut it out by the time I got downstairs so I thought all was well.

Boo gets home from school later that day and is limping down the hall saying he thinks his toe is broken....I was thinking what happened at school?  He doesn't complain so when he does I know he's in a decent amount of pain.

He proceeds to tell me that while they were wrestling earlier Bubby poked him in the foot with a mechanical pencil.  So after a day in a sweaty sock and shoe it's now red and painful to the touch.  I assess the damage and after peroxide and antibacterial cream it's doing better now. Thankfully they no longer use lead in pencils!  He has a dark spot at the sight and from what I've read online it may be a stain that lasts a lifetime!


I just want to keep the kids injury free for the next few days before we leave on our trip...is that really too much to ask!?  Sigh...
