The attack of the monkey bars


The monkey bars have been brutal to the Horn family this year. First they choose Sara as their victim. It only took her one day on the monkey bars the weekend after school had started to develop some very impressive blisters on both of her hands. She told me " I will never go on the monkey bars again." Then last week she broke her vow and decided that since they didn't hurt anymore they must be healed. Uhhh, no. From what I hear from Ashley "There was blood EVERYWHERE". It wasn't that bad, but they did look fairly nasty again. That same day Ashley took a fall and scraped up her hand. And then we had today--Ashley forgot or maybe remembering the nasty fall she took last week, she decided not to use her hands and she fell on her face. Yep, you read that right--her face. Her nose and chin took the brunt of the fall. No missing teeth, fortunately. Daddy declared at the supper table tonight "How about we stay off the monkey bars for the rest of the school year!!" And, for those of you who may be wondering, school pictures aren't until the 24th so we won't have to document the scraped up face for eternity.
