The boys made it through the night and were eager to play in the morning. With Baylor water is always fun and the one side of the van got a bath again. So did the wagon and a few other items.
I worked on starting pinata number two.
And cutting limbs out of the maple tree that was hit with the bark beetles. There are so many dead branches up there!!! I cut them into kindling for Heather's camp.
It was not too hot and the pool was only 72 degrees but they asked to get in the pool.
They lasted about 15 minutes! And tried to stay out of the water the entire time.
The girls came over and all four played together. I have no idea what they were doing but they seemed to get a long well and had fun.
I had said I would take the boys to the Fun Fort at the park and we headed over there around 4:30. They played well for about a half an hour and butted heads and went separate directions. I asked Baylor to find Zayden so we could leave, I could tell they were done. He crossed the sand box and was trying the launch himself off the concrete curb around the sand and he went down. I saw it happen and was on my way to follow him. I believe his foot tried to push off sand and not concrete which is why his foot went out from under him. He actually went down on his side and when he got up he said his shoulder was hurt. I had him raise his arm, which he could, but it really hurt. Since he is really good about shaking things off I had a Mommy ESP that this was not something to shake off. We took Zayden home. One because I did not want to take him to the ER and two, his house was on the way to the ER anyway. While I was talking to Ginny a dragonfly several times buzzed the van where Baylor was sitting. I really did not want to go to the ER because they make you wait so long so I stopped at a side road and googled urgent care near me. One popped up super close and closing in 30 minutes, it was 5:30. We turned around and headed over to OSS which is newly opened. I had no idea they were there and when we arrived I found out that the O in OSS is for Orthopaedic urgent care. I told him while we were waiting that if he broke his bone he was in the right place to treat it.
And he broke his collarbone. When the tech pulled up the X-Ray I gasped. She asked me if I was a radiologist and I said no but I could see that it was broken! But thankfully it is a clean break and should heal fine in a few weeks. They gave him a sling, an excuse for school that he cannot participate in PE until he is released, instructions for Tylenol and rest and a follow up appointment in two and a half weeks. We were out of there by 6:05. He was such a trooper about the entire process. There were tears due to the pain but he handled the news well.
Saturday night he did not sleep well due to the pain and had a major meltdown between 10 and 11. He found a comfortable spot on the couch and passed out for over and hour and woke up a much happier child. I had forgotten what meltdowns were like! Mom and dad had come over to see him and while he was napping Mom and I ran out to check on my cousin's cats and stop at a drug store on the way home.
When we got back Baylor and Buddy were putting together the Lego set the girls brought over for him yesterday as a get well gift.
We spent the afternoon on the couch together watching movies and being silly.
Monday a FB memory popped up and I went and got a rice cake and took his photo. Seven years later he still eats these rice cakes.
Zayden's mom came by Sunday evening to pick up Zayden's backpack I left at our house and his birthday gift. Sunday was his birthday party at a ropes course at Ski Roundtop and I was sad we missed it. She gave him his gift bag which had a Spiderman punch balloon. We used it to make static hair which he thought was super funny.
Meme and Pap came down for Labor Day lunch and to see their little grandson. I was showing Meme pictures of vacation and some Snapchats and I took a few with her.
Baylor said they all look like Pap with this big nose filter. So I did all three of them!
We had a nice lunch with my parents and Gloria's parents. It was not quite the weekend we were planning but it worked out well anyway.
