Mischief -

Don't ask...

...and the diagnosis is...

My DH and kids were playing touch football when my oldest son came home to show me his finger. It looked really gross so of course I got a picture. The doctor said his left ring finger was dislocated which caused a sprain. Also a piece of bone fractured.

Here's the x-ray of the fracture and dislocation - look for the tiny bone fragment left behind.

Here's his finger after the doctor relocated it. Hopefully the bone will heal normally.----------NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN OUR FAMILY ---------

Trick or Treat!

As usual, we waited until the very last possible day to carve pumpkins. I like to carve them the week before Halloween, but the week got away from me.

The baby thinks she is going to get to carve pumpkins, when actually she is going down for a nap -

Look at these guys hard at work -

TA DA!! The finished product -

Boo's is the haunted house, G's is the scary face, B's is the cyclops, and S's is the happy one.

Now it is time to go Trick-or-Treating -

Boo is a Knight, G is a Ninja Warrior, B is a skeleton, S is a Jack-o-Lantern, and E is an M&M candy.

I should have dressed S as a pirate since he walked around all week with a limp (pretending that he had a peg leg) and one eye closed saying Argh whenever he talked. He is my only 3 year old I haven't had to beg to get into a costume on Halloween.

Just before we went out it was raining. Luckily the weather cleared up and stayed relatively nice out. We stayed out for about 2 hours.

After uploading all the pictures from Halloween, I realized that my teenager was conspicuously absent from all the festivities. He didn't carve pumpkins because he was busy playing Yu-gi-oh with his friend, and he didn't go trick-or-treating because he was the designated door man (passing out candy to all the trick-or-treaters).
