Can't Keep a Good Man Down

Our day started as normal today. Matthew was bugging us as we tried to do Math so I had Evan and Ryan call him into the other room to play with him. That was working well and I was able to finish math with Adam and start Rye's lesson. Matthew and Evan were still playing in the other room when Matthew started screaming in pain. He and Evan had been climbing on the arm of the couch and jumping off (something Evan has been told numerous times NOT to do). I guess Matthew landed wrong b/c he was crying and wouldn't put any weight on his foot. He continued to cry for almost an hour and his foot was starting so swell. His doctor couldn't see him until late afternoon. In fact, they acted like I was annoying them. I ended up taking him to an urgent care place. They X-rayed his foot and didn't find anything. I can tell he's still in pain and he's walking on his heel but he's getting around enough to take a blue marker down the walls of the hallway!!

When I dropped the older boys off at Grandma's house, I told them to finish their reading. They took their books with them including the tape of our read-aloud. When I went back to get them, they hadn't read any of it!!! They got distracted by Jimmy Neutron. *rolling eyes*
