Trauma and Drama



We had an interesting weekend in our household. The "trauma" happened on Saturday. Caleb was getting out of the car and shut the door on his thumb, big ouch! I was inside and heard the screaming and Nate frantically running to the other side of the car to open the door. Caleb is probably going to lose the fingernail, but I think he is ok otherwise. A scary experience for us though. I'm so thankful my Mom is a nurse because the first thing I did was call her to see if we needed to have his finger looked at.:)


The "drama" is our Corolla. It died on Nate the other day at work, so it was towed to a repair shop. They basically said, we can't find anything wrong with it so come pick it up. Later on Saturday I left in the Corolla and it died on me at the end of our street. Thankfully I wasn't further from home! So the repair shop is towing it back in today. I just hope they figure out what is wrong. We know the car is nearing the end, but it would be nice to not have to replace it yet! So we are learning how to be a one car family. It hasn't been too bad yet.


We also had some fun this weekend. We went bowling last night with my friend who runs MOPS with me. They have a little boy Caleb's age and a son 9 months older than Isaac. The boys had a great time. The adults also had fun because we were bowling with bumpers, high scores all around!

Ouch! Ugh. Poor little guy. Nathan lost a toenail the other day after getting his foot caught under a door. He sure looks cute bowling, though! Sorry to hear about your car. I HATE car problems.

Sounds like an eventful weekend. Your little guys are so cute and I'm sure Caleb will be just as cute minus one finger nail! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Ouch, my fingers hurt for the little guy. I'm glad it's not anything worse than losing a nail!

I can understand the car trouble! We played "one vehicle household" a few days last week. Not cool when we're so used to two cars! Something else to be thankful for. Here's hoping you can get a little more mileage out of the car!
