The letter of the day...S!

Today started out super... then ended stressful. Not to mention sad! The kids & I drove to Sandy, to tour the Living Planet Aquarium. We saw all sorts of sea life (string rays, jelly fish, sharks, lobsters, sea horses, eels, octopus, crabs, star fish...) Kate really enjoyed herself. Saying "wow" every time she turned around. Chan & I agreed that we don't need to go back until he is six (too pricey, stuffy inside & we would of loved to see more... so too short)!
Afterwards, we came home to have an "potter pop" & make dinner. When Steve came home at six-thirty we were ready to eat. He went to wash up when we heard a shrill from the hallway. Kate had taken the steak knife I used to make dinner off from the counter & stabbed herself in the calf. Steve immediately applied pressure on it, while I raced to call our home teacher. He's an orthopedic surgeon! After examining it, he said she would need a couple stitches, but was afraid she wouldn't let him do it! Steve said we have starry strips & super glue from the week before (that story is coming). He said that would work too. Owen sterilized the wound & then super glued it shut.
While we were in AZ, Kate was playing under a coffee table. She pushed the glass up with her feet & the glass shifted. The corner of the glass stabbed her above her right eyebrow. Uncle Alan acted quickly... applied the pressure & then starry striped her eye brow as well!
We are grateful for Uncle Alan & Owen in helping Miss Kate with her wounds. Hopefully Kate will feel better in the morning. Poor girl!

Kate with all the fish.

Chan just chilling in the stroller.

Can we say... Cheese!

This isn't the best picture, but I love that Kate has her hands on her hips & Chan could care less about what's going on.

Here is her calf bandaged up!

This is the scab from last weeks incident!

Ok thats it, go to kinkos buy some bubble wrap and apply about 2-3 coats of it to Miss Kates body. I thought only boys got hurt. Seriously, we are so glad that she is ok.

Wow, I can't believe her luck! Glad you have some great people to apply first aid relief! We love "potter pops" too and I also get asked to eat them for every meal:) Now if I can just get Camden to stop biting holes in the top so he won't spill the juice all down the front of him we'd be great!
