TRICK RIDING GETS TRICKY

IT IS A LOVELY DAY IN THE BIG CITY, NO WIND, BEAUTIFUL SUN AND GREAT TEMPS - A REGULAR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TYPE OF DAY. THE KIDS WERE OUT RIDING BIKES WITH DADDY . B AND I CAME HOME EARLY - DADDY AND S HEADED OUT FOR SOME MORE. ABOUT HALF AN HOUR LATER DADDY COMES IN, "MOMMY, WE ARE GOING TO NEED YOU."

I, OF COURSE, WAS ON THE PHONE, WHICH MY CHILDREN SAY I DO TO MUCH OF.

SHERIDAN HAD A CUT IN HER FOREHEAD. IT WAS LENGTHWISE, ABOUT 1/4 INCH LONG ABOVE HER EYEBROW. SHE HAD BEEN ZIG-ZAGGING ON HER BIKE AND FELL. SHE WAS WEARING HER HELMET, HOWEVER, WE THINK IT WAS HER SUNGLASSES THAT CAUSED THE CUT. HER SUNGLASSES WERE SHATTERED AND PRAISE GOD, SHE HAD NO OTHER INJURES TO HER EYES, TEETH OR HEAD.

WE WENT TO THE CHILDREN'S ER AND WERE SEEN QUITE QUICKLY (I TOOK PICS ON MY CAMERA PHONE BUT HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO RETRIEVE THEM). THEY NUMBED HER FOREHEAD AND DID LIQUID STITCHES. SHE DID REALLY WELL, SHE WAS MOST UPSET ON THE WAY THERE THINKING SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE SHOTS OR HAVE SURGERY.

WE ARE BACK HOME NOW, THANKFUL FOR LIQUID STITCHES AND FOR NO FURTHER INJURIES - TRICK RIDING CAN BE PRETTY TRICKY....

WORD OF THE DAY

YOU WILL SEE I'VE ADDED A NEW GADGET ON THE BLOG, IT IS WORD OF THE DAY. WHILE MOMMY AND DADDY WERE ON VACATION, GIGI AND PAPA TOOK CARE OF THE PEEPS AT HOME. WORD OF THE DAY IS NOW A REQUIREMENT DUE TO THEIR VISIT.

ONE DAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL, MISTER B WAS BEING MISTER B, AND KICKING THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. MY DAD SAID, "B, STOP KICKING THE BACK OF MY SEAT, YOU ARE BEING OBTUSE."

B ASKED, "HEY PAPA WHAT IS OBTUSE?"

"IT MEANS DIFFICULT."

B RETORTED, "GREAT! I'M OBTUSE AND LOVING IT!"

OUR SON THEN DECIDED THAT HE WANTED TO LEARN A NEW WORD EVERYDAY AND SO NOT HAVING THE VAST VOCAB/DICTIONARY KNOWLEDGE THAT PAPA HAS (OR UNCLE ASHLEY FOR THAT MATTER, AS WE HAVE ACCUSED HIM OF READING THE SCRABBLE DICTIONARY DURING HIS FREE TIME), I OPTED FOR THE DICTIONARY.COM GADGET!
