Pumpkins and Stitches

Up next in the great catch-up happened two weeks ago today. The boys and I met Nana and Papa at the Plumper Pumpkin patch! It was so much fun! The kids loved the big slides, the rubber ducky races, the animals, the hay mazes, the pumpkin sling shot and canon, the playground, and of course picking out the perfect pumpkins! Thank you Nana and Papa for such a fun time at the pumpkin patch!!

After the pumpkin patch we went home to drop off our pumpkins and get daddy, then we went to Nana and Papa's for some yummy homemade minestrone soup and biscuits. Well, just a few minutes of hanging out before dinner, we hear Dallas screaming. I go from the kitchen to the hall and see Jayson carrying Dallas and blood everywhere! He had fallen off of a chair in the family room head-first onto we think the floor vent (maybe a toy?) and sliced his head open! Poor kid - we took him to an urgent care center who then told us to go to the ER. So we went, and after hours of waiting, he got six stitches in his lil noggin!

On the way to the ER

Waiting in the ER after they put some numbing medicine on.

Waiting in the room for the doc to come stitch him up.

We got there around 6:30 and he didn't get stitches til about 8:45. He was so good waiting around and stayed happy. He only fussed a bit when they gave him a shot of more numbing stuff, then they wrapped him up burrito-style and started sewing. Halfway through, Dallas fell asleep! He was pretty tired!
He's been doing great and the stitches have now dissolved and his scar is healing up pretty good! Of course I missed a picture of just the stitches...but here's the end result.
