A Trip to the E.R.

So I'm folding clothes today in the middle of my living room floor around 2:30... the phone rings. It's the school. "Hello, Mrs. Gantt? I have your daughter here. She has a staple in her thumb." My first reaction is "Ooooh-kay." "I think you need to come get her and take her to the doctor right away."
I honestly wasn't thinking it would be too bad. I get to the school and see Briana she's got a big smile on her face. (maybe shock?) So I look at her thumb- and the staple is ALL THE WAY THROUGH HER THUMB! I actually saw the staple on the top of her thumb and then end of the staple on the other side of her thumb. Yowsa!
Panic set in for one second. So now I'm just trying to get out of there as fast as possible with her! Luckily enough the hospital is just right up the road. So into the ER we go. They plucked it out, gave her a tetina shot and a scrip for some antibiotics and we were out of there in 40 minutes! Amazing for an ER, isn't it? :) Anyway, Briana was such a trooper. She never whined, complained or cried! She did yell out when they plucked it out, but hello... wouldn't you yell too? :) I told her if she felt like yelling, then yell, dangit!
So that was our excitement for the day.




Brandi's Birthday party- She's 9!!

So I realize that I never posted pictures of Brandi's 9th Birthday Party! She had some friends over for an UN-sleepover. That party ended at 10:30 pm. We had her party a month late because we have been so busy. She wanted a sleepover, but we could not find time for a Friday night into a Saturday morning, so we just compromised and had an UN-sleepover. I'm pretty sure the girls had a blast!! And I was glad when 10:30 rolled around and all the giggling, laughing, silly girls all went home! Whew! What a night!
Brandi is in blue- back left under the balloons. ;)
