Damons head and Mardi Gras

Last night, as Damon was going to bed, I heard a big thump upstairs. Then I heard him cry (which he rarely does) so I hollered for him to come downstairs to me. Then I heard him really start screaming so I ran upstairs to see what was wrong. Well, I guess he decided to jump backwards onto his bed (trying to land on his back I guess??) and he missed the bed and hit his head on the corner of his bed. Yes, he is a smart one! haha It was bleeding quite a bit (which I know head wounds do) and he was freaking out that he DID NOT want stitches!! He had to get stitches in his knee a few years ago and it was pretty traumatic for him! James And I decided to call our friend Jeff who is a Surgeon and see what he thought. He told us he could fix it without stitches- it would probably scar but I figure he is a boy and will probably have many scars!! So Jeff butterflied it and put some steri strips on it to close it. Damon was VERY happy he didn't have to get stitches!!! THANK YOU JEFF!!!!

Tonight was the annual Mardi Gras parade in the little shopping center by our house. This year the youth from our Church made a float and were in it. They stapled Pass along cards to Moon pies (a southern favorite) and fruit roll ups and threw them in the parade! I tried to get a good pic of the float as it came by, but didn't get a great one. Aubrey is in the lime green jacket. She said it was really fun! We hung out with some friends and collected TONS of necklaces and treats! We had a great time even though it was like 30 degrees outside- Ü
