No more jumping on the couch

Last night we thought it would be fun to have Kristin, Jared, and their boys Brayden and Jack over for dinner. So we invited them and had a really good dinner. Kristen and I went into the kitchen and cleaned up and cut up the brownies that everyone was looking forward to eating. Well Paige comes in crying and so Blake grabs her and says what is wrong. I thought that she was just needing to suck it up but Blake saw that she was holding her knee. So he examines her knee and she says no dad it is my arm. So he looks and it has this nasty drop in it. So he just says "Bre, Paige broke her arm." I was thinking ya right he is just joking me. So I go over and look and it was definately broken. So we asked what happened and she says that she was jumping on the couch and fell off and hit it on the wall. Now just a side note: For the last week I have been telling her several times a day to stop jumping on the couch. I have even told her that she is banned from the couch because all she does is jump on it. Anyways so we took her to the hospital and waited for 2 hours before they took us back to x-ray and then we had to wait forever to be seen by the PA. Anyways they said that she broke both bones and so they put a soft cast thing on it and we have to take her in later this week to get a hard cast on it. So it is not the Sunday that we thought that we would have but it was very adventerous.



This is a picture of her on the chiai waiting
for us to get her bed ready.



She got this really cute dinosaur sling
to hold up her arm.



We made her a nice little nest of pillows
to sleep on.

O man, crazy! My kids do stuff like that all the time. I'm suprised they've never broken any bones. I need to be more careful. Hope she feels better soon:)

Oh my gosh I am so sorry!! That truely stinks!! Sometimes don't you wish you could say nah nah nah nah I told you you would get hurt.But you feel so bad for them when they do actually get hurt. At least it is after summer and it isn't hot anymore! That is the only upside thing I can think of to say at this time. It just stinks all around.

Paige!! I'm sorry to hear you hurt your arm sweetie. I like your dinosaur sling. It's way cute. I hope it heals quickly and you feel better soon.

Bre,
Did you totally freak out. I tell JC that is honestly my worst fear is the first time I have to take one of our kids to the E.R.

Poor Paige-Trey wants to know what color of cast she is going to
get:-) Give her a big(careful)hug from all of us!
P.S. I always thought that Trey would end up with the first broken bone!

Oh, Paige! How cute you look in a little sling. I'm sorry for you. It's no fun to break a bone (or two). I hope it gets feeling better very quickly. All I can say is, good thing you're left-handed, sweetie! =)
