Pop Goes the Monkey

We went to the cabin for both Memorial Day and then the weekend after that. Most of this pictures Adam’s sister Sophie took and they are from Memorial Day. A few are from the weekend after that we took but I have to say Sophie got a lot of good ones that I hope she doesn’t mind me putting them on here. Cassie and Peter’s cousins Rocco and Reggie were up there both times too and she had a TON of fun with them. We will have to get them together again soon. Cassie got to roast marshmallows over the fire and sleep next to Angie and play the whole time. We will have to go back again soon.

So, Peter had an accident on Friday afternoon. Actually, a couple of accidents but one resulted in stitches. We actually started off with injuries last week when Cassie got her hand stuck in the side door on the van. Our van has automatic doors and it actually has sensors so she can’t get her hand stuck in the front of the door. However, she was touching the door while it closed and somehow managed to get her hand stuck in the back of the door if that makes sense. And the best part is that I didn’t realize it at first. I thought she was crying because she didn’t want to come inside and I kept telling her we would come back out later. Finally she yelled she was stuck and I felt HORRIBLE. Her hand was swollen and bleeding and scratched. Thankfully, our doctor’s office does urgent care too so I ran Peter next door to Steff’s and took Cassie to the doctor. We were lucky, her hand wasn’t broken and with the exception of her hand being sore for a few days she has been fine. She was actually most upset that Peter got to go next door to Winston and Charlie’s house and she didn’t get to.

So, then we get to this week. On Friday morning we were playing downstairs and Cassie has a little chair that had been pushed over by the coffee table. Peter has been crawling over everything later. If the chair is pushed up by the couch he can crawl up from it onto the couch. So, he was playing on the chair and I was cleaning the kitchen, not even really thinking about it, and I heard a slam and crying. I ran over and he had pushed the chair into the coffee table and banged his head. Thankfully, he just had a little bruise forming on his nose and forehead. I actually talked to Adam a little bit after it happened and said not to be surprised if he had a black eye when he got home because he had banged his head. So, I pulled the chair further from the table and we went on with our day. An hour later after lunch we were playing in the family room again. Cassie and I were playing with some toy and Peter was crawling around again. All of a sudden, I heard a large crack again and looked up…the chair had been pushed back by the table and he had hit his head again. This time it was gushing blood though.

So, I ran over to Steff’s again, this time with Cassie and went to get into the car with Peter. Then I realized I couldn’t find my car keys. My neighbor Kristie was outside and I was panicking. I asked her to come in and help me look. We couldn’t find them so she offered to let me borrow her van. THANK YOU Kristie!!! (After Adam came home it took us over an hour to find my keys…they were stuck down in the couch cushions, not too sure how that happened). I drove Peter to the doctor’s office and they cleaned him up and decided he would need stitches. I know I cried more during it than he did. Hopefully this will never happen again. Here are some pictures.

We are having a shoe party at our house this Thursday night at 6:30 (open house style) for anyone who is interested. I went to one at my friend’s Beckee’s awhile ago and found a pair of sandals that is not only cute but comfortable so naturally I now want a pair in every color. The shoes are priced between $5 and $30. I’m a little behind on invitations and didn’t get any mailed out and still have to pass out some in the neighborhood so if you didn’t get one and think you might be interested come on over. Nicole will also be here painting toenails for $3 a person. If you want to see some of the shoes click on this: http://shoeparty.blogspot.com They also have little girl shoes that are sooo cute! Hope to see you there!

Okay, if this doesn’t work I give up because some of these pictures are OLD. First I almost got them on and then Peter kept unplugging the camera, then I couldn’t find the plug, then the batteries in the camera were dead…you get the picture. Later I am going to try copying some pictures of Adam’s sister’s blog because she gets a lot more cute ones of the kids, probably because we are usually holding them or chasing them.
