So were having a fun day on Saturday. By the early evening, the kids were running around, being introduced from the living room into the dining room, and having a great time. Next thing I hear is the laughter turning to tears. My niece fell down face first and hit her forehead on a door’s hinge. There was some blood. And some more blood. And a bit of an injury that looked to be more than a surface wound (it looked like a hole to me). So we went to the ER. She got three stitches, two lollipops, and one bag of chips. And she was amazing! She didn’t even flinch, she didn’t cry when she got sewn up, and she then turned to me and said, “I’m feeling better.” This morning, she came in my room and told me, “My left eye doesn’t hurt at all.” She’s fantastic.

Today, our cousins came to town, as well as Telene and Weene. All the kids had so much fun playing together. We also went downtown to GE Kids’ Day at the Empire State Plaza. And that was fun: The kids jumped on and slid down a big bouncy-bounce maze and slide; some bead necklaces were created; we saw some reptiles; and there was some dancing and hula-hooping. Then there was more playing at home, dinner together, and some tasty ice cream desserts. Now we’re all tired out.

Oh, yeah, the weekend was more fun than a sharp stick in the eye. The Kids Day was so fun that we (ok, I) felt the need to leave The Cop at home with Mama so I could actually sit down at dinner and not “a run” all over the place…

It’s not about you, it’s about the kids. And besides the whole getting injured and going to the hospital part, I think all the kids had a good weekend. Like I said, it was a weekend of fun. Mostly.

It wasmostly fun, despite being in bed with a major headache. It is always fun with the kids. And it is ALL about them, not the adults.

What could be better than a weekend with the family?
It saddened me a bit to see Uncle Max - not the same person we used to know. But still just as sweet.
Glad the kids had a good time - that is what it is all about. As for the “incident,” nothing any worse should happen to anyone in the entire family and I will be happy.
As for the “little guy.” It was good we had a chance to bond before the big “vacation.” He doesn’t hate me afterall, and that’s a good feeling.
More fun time this weekend with more family - Lisa and Eitan - what more can we ask for!!

I’m not sure how fun this weekend will be for me. I am home sick with some sort of upper respiratory infection and sore throat. May go to the doctor tomorrow. Glad everyone had fun on Sunday. Sorry to hear about the ER visit - but I am glad everything worked out alright. By the way we had a steam pipe explosion in Manhattan today - 1924 pipes - very old! I managed to get home right before it happened but will need to start figuring out alternate transportation for tomorrow because the subway I take goes right through there and currently there is no east side service! Oh well.

I got your message, Lil, but then I didn’t want to call you back (because you sound sick and because you told me not to). You sound terrible. You should stay in bed tomorrow (except for maybe going to the doctor). I also heard about the explosion in Manhattan. I’m glad you made it home before that!
