Life has been interesting for us to say the least. It all started off with Robert coming to us saying that he thinks he needs reading glasses because he's getting headaches when he tries to read. Sure enough, he does need glasses but not just for reading!Then I get a phone call from the school nurse during class one Thursday. She think Robert has broken his finger. So we take a trip to Med One to see Dr. Jeff and sure enough, he has a splinter fracture on his left pinkie. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's pretty close to the growth plate and it's on his throwing hand. So he gets a splint and an appointment with Dr. Mitchell the following Monday. He doesn't have to wear the splint anymore but he does have to keep it buddy taped AND no baseball, football, soccer, or gym for 4 weeks! For him that was the end of the world. He still continues to go out to his ball games to be the bat boy. But you can tell he's just itching to get out on the field. He's tried a few times to throw the ball but he just doesn't have control without full movement of his pinkie.
Now for the fun stuff! Randy got the idea to turn our storage room into a game room for the boys. Bear in mind this was the room where the roof leaked all winter. So the carpet had to go. Randy has decided to try his hand at installing a laminate floor while he's on vacation. The flooring is the only part that the parental units will be picking out. Everything else is up to the boys. They have also been helping to get the room prepped. Last weekend they helped to pull out tack strips and staples before sanding the floor down and helped with painting the paneling. I'll get more pictures posted as we progress!
