A Crazy Friday Night

The kids and Ben are in the back yard right now in the tent. I was just out there playing shadow puppets with them. I think it's gonna be a long night for Ben. They're a little wound up.

We usually like to camp in the wilderness, but Ben had a CE class today, and Haley had to be at a YW sleepover, so that didn't leave us time to get to the mountains. But we are going fishing tomorrow, so we thought it would be "fun" to sleep in the tent. Well, it will be "fun" for them -- I'll be in my bed! Someone has to be inside for the baby, right?

Speaking of the baby, we just got back from his very first trip to the ER. That leaves only Grace that hasn't been there yet. Joey's been two or three times. Story of my life. Anyway, he had pulled himself up on a chair to try to get on the trampoline, and he pulled his elbow out of socket. I thought it was his shoulder, because he was crying and his arm was limp at his side -- he couldn't use it at all, and it was very painful for him. It was still out right up until the time we actually got called in to be seen at the hospital. Then he must have twisted it back himself, because he started using it and then he was fine. The doctors probably think I'm nuts. Just another crazy person coming in on a Friday night. At least I have witnesses -- both my mom and Eric saw him with the limp arm.

Well, it's shaping up to be a fun weekend! Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings...
