Karin and I were sitting in my office on Monday around 5:30PM and Karin jumped and said "do you hear that crying" and I was like "dude - you are hearing things" so we continued our conversation. About 5 minutes later one of the neighborhood kids comes running up and says their brother has a hole in his head and their mom needs help. Nice ears, Karin!
Sure enough, little Tony Vasquez crashed his bike and got a gash on his forehead. Tony's mom and another neighbor headed for the emergency room and the remaining Vasquez's headed for our house - Jasmine, Sammy, and Jennifer.
The kids were a little upset about seeing their mom frazzled and their brother bleeding so Karin attempted to take their minds off that and onto dinner. A cantaloupe, a pineapple, and 2 boxes of mac n' cheese later, and the kids were just fine.
They watched 15 minutes of The Cat in the Hat and then headed up for bed - all of them...in Ellie and Ava's room. They actually did really well and were all asleep within 30 minutes. Later when the Vasquez' mom (Jenni) came over to take them home we opened the door to the bedroom and it was like 90 degrees and humid. Bunch of sweaty little kids :)
ps - After waiting 3 hrs to see a Doctor, Tony ended up with 3 stitches.
