Westin Update

Ok, so Wes had his stitches put in on Friday, well on Sunday night has we are getting ready for bed Robbie and Rob where sword fighting(why I'm not quite sure). Well as Westin and I walked in the bedroom Robbie brought the sword back hitting Wes in the eyebrow. The tears and blood started flowing and when I finally got the blood to stop we noticed that three of the six stitches had popped. So I sent Rob and Wes to the urgent care and the doctor decided that she would just try terry stripping them because it was going to be to hard to restitch after it had already started healing.

Well this morning when I went downstairs to get the kids going, I noticed that the three strips where gone. I started looking closer and noticed that two of the stitches where also missing. So of course Rob and I start questioning Westin on what happened where are your stitches, etc. Well Wes proceeded to tell us that he had pulled the strips off and then pulled out the two stitches. So now there is only one stitch left and I am pretty sure he is going to have one heck of a scare. Good thing he is a boy!

Stitches

Well on Friday as I was running errands all by myself (it was quit and peaceful), I got a phone call from Westin's preschool. I was told on the phone that Westin had hit is head and was probably going to need stitches. So I left my errands undone ran to school, to get Westin. As I was looking at the cut in his eyebrow his teacher proceeded to tell me what exactly happened.

Apparently when everyone was sitting in their circle on the floor Westin felt the need to show everyone his awesome jump spin. He hit is head on the table and split the eyebrow wide open. He was very brave and even through his tears told his teach that it was a good jump spin.

We headed to the doctors office to await the stitches. I have to say that this was the most impressive wound that the boys have acquired so far. The doctor a friend of ours quickly got things moving for us. Westin amazed everyone in the office(people kept giving him treats and toys) he did not shed one tear and held perfectly still. So he ended up with 7 stitches and probably a great scar to add to the others.

After three days he has some what of a black eye, and complains only when he raises his eyebrows. But he thinks it looks cool and tough. He is such a character.

I sometimes wonder how I'm going to manage all the wounds that come with three boys. We have already had one gluing, two staples, three stitches and a broken arm. Everyone but Tanner seems to be accident prone. Thank goodness I have one mellow boy.

7 months

Ok, so I know that I am now almost half way through my 7th month, but this picture was taken at the 7 month mark. We just had some issues with our internet, so I was unable to post it when I took it.

Halloween

The Boys went as Ninja's this year and loved fighting each other with their very loud, and annoying swords. We went to Rob's work party and the kids got a ton of candy. Then we made stops at several families' homes before going to our family Halloween party. The boys were so tired by the time we were done that Wes fell asleep in the car. They did go to a few houses on our street but didn't last long. So we watched Charlie Brown and then fell in bed. I have to admit I am enjoying all the candy; I'm just worried that by the time it's gone I will have gained ten pounds.
