The boys told me I don't blog enough. Mike & they spent the time I was out teaching people to make gum paste flowers going through the blog bits around when they were born and laughing like crazy. Now they want to see the old baby swing (which is still down the basement -- we've been meaning to bring it to the curb one of these trash days). It doesn't seem like that long ago that they were little enough to go in the swing. :) Last week was break week and the adventure of the week was dealing with Sammy's broken finger. A huge wooden lid fell on his pinky and broke the middle bone in it, requiring surgery for them to set it. Fortunately, the doctor was able to manipulate his finger while he was asleep so that the bone was set correctly. The thing that upset Sammy the most that day was removing the IV from his hand. (They didn't put the IV in until he was asleep. Lucky him!) I told Mike that I wanted to come there next time I needed my gallbladder removed -- Sammy got Legos and the surgical staff bandaged up Yoshi's and Luigi's arms to match Sammy's. All I got was a missing gallbladder. (On a related note, I just read about a place that sells plush organs -- I Heart Guts.) Sammy's almost back to his old self again with the exception of having his fingers in a cast (which he's not allowed to get wet). They'll check to see if it can be removed in a couple weeks. He was happy to learn that his video games playing days were not over. In fact, that's a lot of what the boys ended up doing over break. (We did do at least some of what we were planning on doing, though.) Sammy did say that his favorite part of break was working on his fish project with me, though. Not completely sure if he was just humoring me or not, though. I'll get a picture of it up eventually. We handed it in. The next task ahead of us is getting the boys to finish up their Pinewood Derby cars.
