Dreaded phone call

Today I was going to head off to Arizona Mills to do some shopping with Sara and Erin. We had to cancel because Erin had a sick kid. Probably a good thing. I got a call from the school nurse today. Sammy fell off the monkey bars and hurt her foot really bad. So off we go to Urgent Care. Luckily it isn't broken, just sprained. We had fun going through the x-rays, and now she is trying to master crutches. (She calls them crunches.) Ha ha. I'm very grateful that I was close by and that she wasn't seriously hurt. In fact, I think she is pretty happy to be on crutches. Extra attention and all that!
So here we are just getting home after two hours at Urgent Care. Looks pretty happy for an injured kid!
Trying to master the crutches. Thank Heaven we don't have stairs at our house!

Calling the grandmas to tell them her big news!

We all hate that dreaded phone call but it's all part of being a mother. Looks like Sammy is taking it all in stride. Sorry she got hurt but thankful it wasn't worse. I wish I could give her a big hug. Take good care of her but please don't bring up the broken foot you had when you were young.
She's heard it a thousand times.
Love to everyone.

Hope those "crunches" don't give her too many problems. Show and tell will be sooooo much fun at school tomorrow.
