Shrek Night

A few weekends ago, the neighbors and I took the kids to Castaway Cafe for Shrek Night. We had so much fun. The kids loved playing on the slides and climbing the steps, especially Maddy and Kendal. Unfortunately, the kids weren't as thrilled with seeing Shrek as we had hoped for. In fact, Maddy and Kendal were pretty terrified of Shrek and Ben was cautious. It was a fun evening with friends, none the less.

"Where did Shrek go?"

Does it even need a caption???

Jason decided not to join us for Shrek night and instead stay home and work on the basement. When Maddy and I got home at 9 pm, we found the dogs outside, all the lights in the house on, a hammer laying on the kitchen floor, and the TV in the basement on, but Jason no where to be found. So I checked my voice mail and found a message from Jason that he was on his way to the ER. He shot himself in the thumb with the nail gun.



Since it was late and I needed to put Maddy to bed, our good friend Greg offered to go and stay with Jason at the hospital. Thanks Greg! He got to watch the PA pull the nail out with a pair of rusty pliers. Ugh!

Update...Jason is starting to feel better now (two weeks later) and saw a specialist who said it looks like it will go on to heal 100%. He has a hair-line fracture, but other than that no nerve or soft tissue damage. He is so lucky! Thank the good lord for watching over him because it could have been so much worse.
