The Party and the ER

Well we had a great party yesterday at my mom's house. The guys BBQ'd, the kids bounced and the rest of us drank sangria and ordered Pampered Chef products. Things were going smashingly until...."SMASH" Joshua fell against a brick planter & split his eyebrow open. Fortunately, it was not a "gusher". Unfortunately, it needed a few stitches. We packed up & headed to the ER. Well actually, first we tried to go to Urgent Care to save us from the $50.00 ER co-pay, but they didn't take our insurance - so we had to go to the ER anyway. It was not too crowded and we got into the triage nurse within 15 minutes. We only spent a total of 2 hours there, which is super fast in ER time. We got away without stitches. They used the surgical super glue to close up his gash. Here are the pics:

The aftermath...exhausted & sleeping
