Four staples

Hours after the Hammers pull out of our driveway, we were headed to the Emergency Room.  Nolan and Landon were building a blanket fort on the top bunk.  Landon stepped on the air mattress and slipped.  He fell from the top bunk and hit his head on the corner of Carter's bed frame.

That fall resulted in four metal staples into his hairline.  He was a trooper...played baseball, basketball, and soccer while healing that week.

Not a tear was shed as the pediatrician took the staples out...his one request was to keep the staples as a souvenir.  Let me just tell you, he dropped these stinkin' staples so many times throughout the day that we spent so many minutes on our hands and knees searching for them in places such as: the doctor's office lobby, the parking lot, the mini van, the garage, the entryway rug, and finally the kitchen floor where we lost them all over time.



First time for staples...hope it's the last but I am not going to bet much on that.
