The big boys participated in a bike-a-thon to raise money to send Chinese orphans to camp. They raised enough by themselves to send one orphan to camp for a WHOLE week then mom and dad chipped in a little more. They did an awesome job biking for almost three hours Saturday morning. I did come to the realization that they need new bikes though. The bikes look so big laying around the yard, or in the driveway or on the porch..., but with the boys on them... whole other story.
Saturday afternoon was filled with final preparations for J's party and at 3pm the guests started arriving. Only one van full got lost and they did finally make it. I think the boys had so much fun tromping through the woods and almost everyone went home with a compass (the store only had 10 so brother groups shared). There was an obstacle course (that J made with some direction and help), some orienteering through the woods and finally a bonfire and marshmallow roast!
We had planned on Sunday being our usual Sunday, but M decided to liven it up a bit when he fell from his top bunk (he was climbing down, or standing at the edge). He screamed but could still move his arm and there was no obvious deformity. After church and him still favoring his arm, he and I took a trip to the urgent care center. A two hour wait later and 30 minutes back in the room, we found out that he indeed had broken his arm, a buckle fracture. So not clean through the bone, just on one side. Not sure how that can be, but I saw it with my own eyes. I called our pediatricians office this morning just in case we need to put a cast on instead of the splint. Yesterday evening he was already talking about riding a bicycle or his scooter...
Life with M is NEVER boring! Though it is not ever an easy road, I am so glad to be his mommy.
