Tomorrow has to be a better day!

This weekend the weather was absolutely beau-ti-ful! Upper 6o's to low 70's. Superb!!! These pics were taken a few weeks back while on a trip to the park. After you read this post you will understand why I don't have more updated pics to share with you right now.
The weekend started of wonderfully. The kids and I hung out all morning on Sat while Daddy was hard at work. Then at 1 pm Grant got to help his good buddy, Peyton, celebrate his 6th Birthday. Grant had so much fun playing outside with all of the kids and then playing a little wii at the 'after party.' Thanks so much to the Krumrei's for such a fun time!
After the party, we headed home to putz around the yard and then fire up the grill for dinner. While waiting for Daddy to get home, I decided to replace the rope on Audrey's swing (it had gotten frayed from the elements).
After I cut the rope to the length I needed, Grant stole the remaining rope from me and was taunting the cat with it. Before I knew it, I heard crying from the other side of the shed. Grant came around the corner with his hands out reached and shaking.
In that short amount of time, he had tied the rope off to the spindles on the deck behind the shed, climbed over the railing and slid down 15 feet to the concrete driveway. He has what looks to be 2nd degree burns to the fingers on both hands and a sore and bruised knee. Luckily the rope held and he was strong enough to hold on instead of falling. It takes my breath away and my heart begins to race just thinking about how much worse it could have been.
He was in quite a bit of pain and I drove all over the countryside looking for burn cream that would give him some relief from the stinging. After a good nights sleep, he woke up today, we bandaged up his fingers and he felt much better.
I wish I could say that was the end of all of the pain for my little boy this weekend, but sadly it wasn't.
This afternoon, Grandma Sue and Grandpa Oscar stopped by so Duke could work on their boat motor and then our plan was to grill up some steaks for dinner. When Grandma, the kids and I went into the house to start getting dinner ready, Grant was climbing up on the stool and it tipped over, and fell on the big toe of his right foot. It immediately began bleeding through his sock and when I pulled the sock off, to my surprise, this entire big toe nail had been dislodged at the nail bed. It makes me queasy just thinking about it. Sue ran out and got Duke and we decided to bring him into the ER. After and exam and x-rays they pretty much put some Bacitracin and a band-aid over the nail and sent us on our way. I guess the nail will act as a barrier until it heals more and falls off but he's going to have to keep it bandaged for quite some time as the nail is sticking out of the back of the nail bed. Poor little Granty misunderstood the Dr. and was so worried his whole toe was going to fall of! He was such a strong and brave boy. I couldn't be more proud of how well he handled himself after being in so much pain. After all of that, tomorrow has to be a better day, right?
