Monkey Bar Mishap

Well, the first day was a success!!! I survived ... AND they LOVE school!! Kaden's teacher is Mrs.Creech, and she is GREAT!! He has his own locker and cubby and is already making friends. Kara's teacher is Mrs. Lezueski and she is equally great! She gets to play play dough and play on the new school playground, she has music class and even goes to the computer lab!!! I'm so happy...even though I do miss them when they are there!!
On another note.......Tuesday we had Kaden's curriculum night at school, the kids were able to attend and play on the playground with the school principle while we stayed for the meeting. WELL...... we met the kids when we went down to the classroom and instead of my happy new kindergartner showing me around the classroom like he was supposed to..... I was consoling his foot!!! It turned out he slipped off the monkey bars and landed on his foot wrong. I took one look at it and knew he needed to go to the doctor, it was already bruising and swelling up......soooooo..... after running errands all day, going to Kara's first gymnastics lesson (which went really well...and I will post pictures and tell you about soon) then we had to run and get dinner and go straight to the meeting, and now at 7:45 we were on our way to the Emergency room to get his foot looked at.
3 hours later.....I am happy to report we had NO broken bones. The doctor did put a splint on however that he had to wear all yesterday and today... which he protested to no avail. He made me DRAG him kicking and screaming to school today...it was quite fun let me tell you, all because he didn't want to wear the splint...it was just great!!!
Anyway, long story short...here's the pictures from the hospital....and when he still thought the splint was kinda "cool"!! : )

They could have at least made the splint some kind of "cool" color :)
